Book Review: A Shark Never Sleeps
Drew Rosenhaus attracts many of the NFL’s premiere clients such as Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, Edgerrin James, Thomas Jones, Lance Briggs, Zach Thomas, Will Allen and former players Warren Sapp, Dan Cody, Tommie Harris, Brian Blades, and the late Sean Taylor.

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up
I hope you are enjoying the NBA Finals; nothing like a classic match-up of Lakers vs. Celtics. You have Kobe vs. Pierce, a three-headed monster in Pierce, Garnett, and Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen), and who can forget the Shabbat Shalom favorite, Jordan Farmar?
