Jack Bechta should be praised for opening up a lot of his practice for the world to understand how he recruits and maintains his clientele (even though he recently ignored my multiple requests for information regarding the representation of coach Jim Harbaugh up until yesterday, but I will get into that story later in this article). […]
On November 22, I talked about the United Football League’s $150,000 Transfer Fee, which is embedded into Section 3(b)(iv) of the UFL Uniform Player Contract. The fee is only being applied to NFL teams that wish to sign a UFL player directly to their active rosters. It may be waived by the Commissioner of the […]

Had the Giants not extended his contract, Webster would be a […]

One question I get repeatedly, from newly certified agent to seasoned veteran, is: How do I get my kid into a college football all-star game? The question comes up so frequently that when I was invited by Darren to address […]

The Woes of a Lion
Now at an awful 0-8 record, the Detroit Lions must be doing something wrong in order to be in this position. The one main thing that I have noticed about the Lions is that their offensive line simply does not allow the quarterback enough time in the pocket. Another major flaw is the Lions’ defense. […]

Invest In An NFL Team
I recently came across an article that claimed The NFL is worth more than the MLB and NBA combined. The article stated that the average NFL team is worth a healthy $960 million. The average MLB team earns its owner $475 million, while the NBA average is $375 mill. The NHL has the lowest […]
