I spent last weekend in New York, meeting with friends in the sports business and companies that might be able to help out Dynasty‘s current clients and its expansion efforts. It has already proved to be a very rewarding trip. I am very close to finally being all settled in my new home in Fort […]

I am up in New York for the weekend, staying in Scarsdale, but I will be in the City all day today. A lot of business meetings scheduled. Saturday will be a true day of rest, as I celebrate a friend’s birthday. Can’t beat the fact that one of my clients will be at the […]
I want to start this article by stressing that the point of this article has nothing to do with getting any player in trouble. The reason that I wrote this post is to once again try to point out how ludicrous the NCAA’s no-agent rule continues to be. It was struck down by a court […]
In the 2009 MLB First-Year Player Draft, the Toronto Blue Jays selected former University of Kentucky pitcher, James Paxton, in the Supplemental First Round. Paxton and the Blue Jays did not come to terms on an agreement prior to the signing deadline, and Paxton decided that he would return to school for his senior season. […]
Typically, the deadline for teams to sign the players that they select in each MLB First-Year Player Draft is 11:59 p.m. EST on August 15.

No one has “getting burned by an advisee” on their to-do list. In fact, not long ago, I wrote a post about what types of claims an advisor may have against an advisee should the advisee use the advisor’s services and follow up with a “I’m not paying you, but I really appreciate the help” […]
Friday really crept up on me! I had no idea it was Friday until a couple of hours ago and then realized that I needed to churn out the weekly Friday Wrap-Up. With so much going on in my personal, professional, and scholastic lives, I guess my forgetfulness is somewhat justified. Anyway, big time congratulations […]
Today is Day 3 of the MLB Rule 4 Draft. There are still 20 more rounds to go, and while teams do not take up close to their 1 minute of allotted time per pick, it is a long and exhausting process. Festivities will kick off at noon for the 2nd day in a row, […]
I am ready for a new phone. I don’t think I hate anything or anyone as much as I hate the hourglass on my Blackberry Curve. The damn icon is the death of me. I have to take out the battery at least five times per day. But not for much longer. Yesterday, I went […]
