It’s NBA Draft Week
Three out of the big four American professional sports have gone through the process of selecting a new class of rookies for the start of their respective next seasons.

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up
Trying a slightly new format here for a change. Do you like it organized by category below? Anyway, a ton going on in this very busy summer. As I am sure you are aware, Dynasty acquired an agency that represents coaches. We have additionally begun our recruiting efforts in football and basketball. Dan Leatherman continues […]
Perhaps you checked out the new Dynasty Newswire? Yesterday, Austin Walton posted his thoughts on which early entries would definitely stay in the 2008 NBA Draft, who he believed should stay, and who would benefit most from pulling out and going back to school for at least another year. It looks like a few of […]
Book Review: Taking Shots
There are very few books written by sports agents and even fewer that devote a substantial amount of pages to discussing the profession of representing athletes. NBPA agent, Keith Glass, takes a shot at covering that topic and other NBA related material in his book, Taking Shots. It is not surprising to hear someone critical […]

While Darren continues to schlep around Israel, I’ll continue his Friday wrap-up tradition even in his absence. The following are some headlines that we neglected to cover during the week. The Academy for Athletes, founded by former NFL running back Paul Miles, offers instruction in finance, health, law, public relations and social awareness. It also […]
Dynasty has three new interns. There were so many qualified candidates that there was no way I could just stick with two. Congrats to the three who were chosen. I am continuing to work on a complete overhaul of this site’s look, which is still planned to be finished by the end of this month. […]
If you missed my interview with Leigh Steinberg, I suggest you check it out. I am no longer a 1L! For those of you non-legal people, that means that I made it through the toughest year of law school. Hopefully, it will be all smooth sailing from here. I am back home in South Florida, […]
Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up

I look forward to posting the interview late Sunday night. Subscribers get to see it first, right when it’s posted, so stop stalling…subscribe now. Besides that, I […]
