I was recently interviewed about my career as a Sports and Entertainment Attorney. Click here to read the interview. I am heading up to Columbus, Ohio on Sunday morning and will be there through Tuesday night for some depositions. What do you think the reaction will be up there to me wearing a Miami Heat […]
Earlier this year, when Lagardère Unlimited acquired Scottsdale, Arizona-based Gaylord Sports Management Group, it inherited a golf division, baseball division, and football division. That football division was run by NFLPA Contract Advisor Ken Sarnoff. Almost immediately, the Gaylord Sports association was dropped and Sarnoff became a part of the Lagardère team, working in a football division that had been managed […]
On February 20, 2012, I caught up with Impact Sports’ 2012 NFL Draft Class. At the time, Mitch Frankel, Tony Fleming, and Sean Kiernan listed Travis Benjamin, Zach Brown, Orson Charles, Lavonte David, Jayron Hosley, and Marquis Maze as draft prospect clients. As of yesterday, Orson Charles moved on from Impact Sports and signed with Joel Segal of Lagardere Unlimited. Charles, a tight end from the University of […]
Last week, the company that employs NFLPA Contract Advisor Joel Segal (Lagardère Unlimited) shifted the balance of power in the world of athlete representation by acquiring Scottsdale, Arizona-based Gaylord Sports Management Group. While Lagardère Unlimited’s football division will gain strength through the acquisition, it is not as if it was struggling in any way. In fact, Segal has steered […]
Arizona State University cornerback Omar Bolden started his collegiate career strong by earning First Team Freshman All-American honors by the Football Writers Association of America. In 2010, Bolden was an All-Pac-10 selection. But then the injury bug bit him during Spring ball. Bolden tore his ACL and had to sit out 2011. But he recently received an invitation to […]
Joel Segal and Lagardere Unlimited are not known for recruiting the Dakotas. With guys like Sergio Kindle, Terrell Suggs, Mike Vick, and Reggie Bush, Segal certainly does not have to recruit in remote areas to keep his job. However, he saw something he liked in offensive tackle Tom Compton of South Dakota enough to reach out and pitch […]
The extremely talented NFL linebacker Terrell Suggs, most recently made famous for stating he is from “Ball So Hard University” (he is actually from Arizona State University, and I admit that after taking a recent trip to speak at the University, they ball pretty damn hard), has signed a representation agreement with Joel Segal of Lagardère Unlimited. […]
File this under absolute mess. Seriously. This legitimately bothers me. Here comes a necessary LeSean McCoy timeline: 10/10/11 – I reported that LeSean McCoy fired Drew Rosenhaus the prior week (including filing the NFLPA paperwork officially terminate the relationship), but rescinded the paperwork within 24 hours and decided to stay with Rosenhaus. 10/11/11 – I noted that […]
It looks like quite the battle is heating up between Ivan Nova of the New York Yankees and LeSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles. Obviously, the battle is not on the field of play, as one is a professional baseball player and the other plays in the NFL. I recently reported that Nova fired SFX, hired Greg […]
Yesterday, I reported that LeSean “Shady” McCoy was very close to being “on to the next one.” He fired his agent Drew Rosenhaus only to re-hire him one day later. After publishing the story, multiple sources have informed me that McCoy was not having second thoughts about Rosenhaus based on Rosenhaus’ culinary preference of Chickie & Pete’s. Instead, […]
