Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (7/30/2010)
I hope that part of my life is behind me. Taking the Florida Bar Exam was quite an interesting experience, but one that I wish to never have again in the future. I celebrated finishing the exam two nights ago, and I think that I am just now recovering from it all. I have a...

The Minor Leagues: Summertime Chi
Chicago summers bring music, movies (Transformers 3 has taken over), and of course, sports. It’s been awhile since the last time I wrote an entry, and I apologize for the longer post, but a lot has been going on. First, the Blackhawks championship rally was exactly what it looked like on T.V.: (picture I took...

Soccer Players Don’t Use Roids
After thirty days and plenty of headaches from those lovely vuvuzelas (Don’t worry- they will NOT be allowed at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil), this first World Cup in South Africa has come and gone. Paul the Octopus went 8-0 and correctly picked Spain to be the World Champions. The 2010 World Cup has...

Anatomy of the NFL 30-Percent Rule
Often times with young, stud players such as Chris Johnson, Darrelle Revis, DeSean Jackson, and Patrick Willis, we hear a lot about what is called the 30% rule. The 30% rule basically states that a player’s new deal cannot be an increase of the annual salary of the rookie deal by more than 30 percent....

Should Agents Hold On Before They Holdout?
The time for NFL Training Camp is now. For all the teams, there will be a lot of the same faces at camp in the first few days. This is not always a good thing. Why? Because this means that the new faces are rookie holdouts. I’d like to share my point of view on...

Winner/Loser Predictions Re: NFL CBA Negotiations
NFL players and owners aren’t exactly seeing eye to eye (more specifically wallet to wallet) when it comes to the league’s new labor agreement that will need to be negotiated before a possible lockout ensues in 2011.

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (7/23/2010)
What a week it has been. With barely any time left before I take the Florida Bar Exam, I have been bogged down covering the pending NCAA investigations at UNC, USC, Alabama, Georgia, and UF. It is nice to finally see the NCAA looking into a few agent/player benefit accusations. We all know that it...

REJECTED: The NHL Takes a Stand
Ilya Kovalchuk was unarguably the biggest fish available in the National Hockey League’s free agent sea this offseason. He is only 27 years old and has scored 40 or more goals in each season since the NHL lockout in 2004-05. Whatever club he signed with was likely to see an offensive boom for the coming...

Lon Babby Makes It Official With The Suns
A little over a week ago, I considered whether Lon Babby was looking for a new job. The write-up suggested that Babby was a contender for an open President of Basketball Operations position with the Phoenix Suns after Steve Kerr vacated the spot. Another name in the running was also a former sports agent -...
