Our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the terrible weather in the Southeast. Thank G-d Passover is done. I…

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/1/2011)

Take Your Pick: HoopsHype Or DraftExpress
Since I can first remember searching for basketball agent information, HoopsHype has always been my primary destination. For a long time, the site has held a monopoly in terms of aggregating basketball agent information in a fairly easy to read format. Monopolies are meant to be broken, though.
