In South Florida this weekend? Head to the Boca Town Center Mall tomorrow. I will be there with my step-father as he hosts a large Franchise & Business Opportunities Show. Then, on Sunday, it’s back to Gainesville for my final year of law school. I got my Summer grades back this week and I am very happy with my scores. It’s nice to be able to juggle everything that I am doing while maintaining a strong GPA in law school. I am finished contributing to a new book authored by Bob Ruxin that will be coming out in December: An Athlete’s Guide to Agents 5th Edition. Get pumped. Yesterday, SI quoted me in a good article. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
Sports Agents
- Bill Duffy gets on the Honorable Mention list [The top 25 Bay Area sports power players].
Baseball
- Interestingly structured contracts [Diamondbacks To Pay Bernard Gilkey Until 2017].
- Upper Deck can’t use team logos…going to be tricky to get around that [Topps Gets Exclusive Deal With Baseball, Landing a Blow to Upper Deck].
- 22nd rounder gets $990,000 signing bonus [Coffey Gets Unprecedented Deal].
Football
- Darren Rovell is not a fan of how Vick has treated the media post-jail time [Michael Vick’s Next Mistake: His Media Plan].
- Jerome Stanley is pissed [Agent points to Mangini for WR's injury].
