More About Kris Humphries’ Switch From Lagardère To Pinnacle

Last week, I wrote about Kris Humphries, currently a power forward playing for the New Jersey Nets, firing sports agent Dan Fegan of Lagardère Unlimited and hiring Marc Cornstein of Pinnacle Management.  Cornstein has a solid group of clients (including Samuel Dalembert, Darko Milicic, Beno Udrih, and Nenad Krstic), but it pales in comparison to Fegan’s list, which contains roughly 20…

On To The Next One: Kris Humphries

Kris Humphries

The most important question is, did Kim Kardashian influence Kris Humphries decision at all?  The decision was to fire Dan Fegan of Lagardère Unlimited who used to be Humphries’ agent.  In Fegan’s place is Marc Cornstein of Pinnacle Management.  Cornstein is tasked with helping Humphries earn enough money to support himself in case he divorces Kardashian…

Agent Selection Scenarios: Arizona Basketball

Arizona Wildcats

At 9:45 p.m. EST, the Arizona Wildcats will take one the #1 seeded Duke Blue Devils (who I happen to have winning the entire NCAA Tournament).  The Wildcats are no push over, though.  In fact, the team has one of the best players in the nation with Sophomore Derrick Williams.  The kid can flat out…
