Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (11/29/2013)

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Hanukkah!  Not the easiest of weeks for Sports Agent Blog.  We encountered significant downtime, which was both a curse and blessing.  It is the byproduct of outgrowing our servers, which I guess is a great problem to have.  The site is still in the process of migrating to a new host, […]
