We all know that keeping in touch with our clients is vastly important for many different reasons. But we can add another reason to that list: uncovering unexpected/unknown injuries. In April, TSN reported that Ron Salcer accused the Minnesota Wild medical staff of negligence for failing to diagnose that his client, Bret Burns, had a […]
I am back home in Hollywood, FL. enjoying a little time off from school and working hard as ever on existing and new business opportunities. If you trust me to read one article, read this one. It is amazingly inspiring and a terrific piece. So, I own stock in Blackberry (RIMM). It has received a […]
Mike Danton‘s story has been a topic of discussion several times here at SAB: here, here, here, here and here. And you can’t talk about Danton without talking about his former coach, turned father figure, turned agent, turned alleged sexual assaulter, turned defrauder, turned night club owner…you get the idea, David Frost has a screw […]

Bettman came off as either naïve to […]
For the past few weeks, one of the hot topics in hockey circles has been the stream of NHL talent heading across the Atlantic to join teams in the new Russian Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Players leaving the NHL to play in Europe is nothing new. Leagues in Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, Germany, and other countries […]
I wrote an article a few weeks ago in anticipation of the start of the NHL free agency period. I described it as the NHL’s “silly season”. I had no idea it would be as silly as it was. In an off-season where very few marquee free agents were available, teams paid major dollars for […]
Another busy week of summer has blown by, which means that it is getting closer and closer to my return to lovely Gainesville, Florida. Nothing against the town that UF sits in, but I am getting quite comfortable with spending much of each day down here in South Florida working on Dynasty and this blog. […]
