I know a lot of agents who love to boast about the fact that they rarely, if ever, get any sleep. In fact, my friend Mook Williams of National Sports Management made his Facebook profile name, Mook NoSleepneeded Williams. Judy Battista of the New York Times recently wrote an article titled, Sleep? For N.F.L. Agents, the […]
BenJarvus Green-Ellis has left Eugene Parker and Roosevelt Barnes of Maximum Sports Management and signed with Joel Segal of Lagardère Unlimited. Earlier today, I noted that Barnes and Maximum Sports also recently lost Marvin Austin to Impact Sports. Segal and Lagardère earn the right to not only represent a talented runningback, but also a player who embraces his awesome nickname on Twitter. Green-Ellis is […]
In November 2005, Josh Luchs and Steve Feldman, both working on behalf of The Gersh Agency, traveled out to Columbus, Ohio to talk to Ohio State’s Santonio Holmes. Luchs says that Holmes said the following: “Listen, I want to save you the time. We don’t need to meet. I’ve been taking money from [an agent] […]
We have stressed this point many times on SportsAgentBlog.com – Don’t limit yourself to only pursuing a career in sports agency; there are not many good jobs out there in the profession, and there are a ridiculous number of people willing to do almost anything to break in. That said, don’t lose your dream of […]
Here is an interesting nugget that I recently found, which was originally published back in January 2010 – The Top Sports Agents That Aren’t Scott Boras. The title of the article assumes that Scott Boras is the #1 agent including all agents in all sports. Do you agree? What about the actual list? Who is […]
As I have mentioned on this site and on my Twitter feed (@Darren_Heitner), the NCAA is finally taking enforcement of its regulations seriously. A few days ago, many of my colleagues were questioning my focus on the investigation at UNC, because of the fact that it is readily known that some agents hand over benefits […]
After three days of draft picks, all seven rounds of the 2010 NFL Draft are complete. Below, you will find the name of each player drafted, the player’s listed position, the team that drafted him, and his current representation. Players that we don’t have representation information for have a “N/A” designation. ROUND 1 1. Sam […]
At one point in Myron Rolle‘s college football campaign, he might have thought that he would be hearing his name tonight as a first round pick in the NFL Draft. At the end of 2008, when many were wondering if Rolle would go pro or take up an offer to attend Oxford University, a lot […]
Yesterday, I received word that Joel Segal of Blue Equity Sports Television (BEST) has signed Brandon Graham and Brandon Minor. Both players just finished their senior seasons with the University of Michigan football team. A 5-7 win/loss record is no flashy way to exit college football, but at least it was a better record than […]
The Brandon Marshall saga has tabbed the unruly pass catcher as just another troublesome wide receiver. Just add him to the list of the NFL’s recent malcontents: Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco, Keyshawn Johnson, Deion Branch, Jerry Porter, and even in his short time in the league, Michael Crabtree, among others. While he may be going […]
