Isaiah Thomas was the final pick of the 2011 NBA Draft, selected by the Sacramento Kings. The 5’9 Thomas played his college ball at Washington prior to entering the NBA. Originally, Thomas was represented by Byron Irvin and Dan Fegan of Lagardere Unlimited. However, he recently parted ways from those agents and is now represented by Andy Miller of ASM Sports. […]
Toronto Raptors point guard Leandro Barbosa is on to his third agent. He was represented by Bill Duffy of BDA Sports prior to moving on to Jeff Schwartz and Sam Goldfeder of Excel Sports Management. Recently, he switched from Excel to Dan Fegan of Lagardère Unlimited. Back in 2007, Duffy said, “I think what makes Leandro so endearing is he’s […]
On Saturday, I was told that Lagardère Unlimited was looking at the possibility of purchasing IMG Worldwide. I received the unsolicited tip from a credible source and quickly found another person who backed up the claim. While I went ahead and tweeted what I had heard, I was still questioning just how much, if at all, Lagardère […]
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 […]
Earlier today, Lagardère Unlimited acquired Scottsdale, Arizona-based Gaylord Sports Management Group. I had been hearing whispers for quite some time regarding the potential acquisition. Law firm Proskauer Rose handled the transaction for Lagardère. Not only will Lagardère Unlimited see a substantial boost to its athlete representation practice, but it will also allow for the company to expand into golf course design. […]
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 […]
