I am totally embracing all of the Miami Heat trash talk, so if you want to get in on the action, feel free to Tweet Me your best diss about my hometown team. I am still convinced that the Heat win the series in seven. Dynasty Athlete Representation had a couple of players drafted this […]

The NFL owners and players were back in court on June 3 to try and make some headway in the three-month-old lockout. Lawyers for both sides were given 30 minutes to state each side’s case in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis. The basic argument was whether or not the league-imposed […]
At the end of last week, I reported that two players selected in the 2011 NFL Draft had left their agents for Drew Rosenhaus, even though the NFL Lockout is still very much in effect and there are no rookie contracts being negotiated or signed.

Leonard Hankerson has not even been afforded the opportunity to negotiate his first NFL contract yet, and he has already decided to switch agents since being drafted by the Washington Redskins in the 3rd round of the 2011 NFL Draft. The receiver out of the University of Miami was formerly represented by Lagardere Unlimited, but […]
Have unions (other than the Major League Baseball Players Association) outlived their purpose? It is a question that super-agent Arn Tellem of Wasserman Media Group posed in a recent New York Times article. While I have not yet had the opportunity to meet Tellem in person, he is certainly very respected amongst the agent community […]

Agents who had their clients selected in the 2011 UFL Draft should be happy that their players are safe from the great mystery of NFL football under the current lockout. They will likely have their clients sign a United Football League Standard Player Contract (embedded below), which will be effective through February 29, 2012. Paragraph […]
