Really tough loss for the Miami Heat last night. Chris Bosh is not living up to his role as part of “The Big Three” thus far in the 2011 NBA Finals. Let’s see if the Heat are able to take at least one away from the Mavericks in Dallas. The 2011 MLB Draft starts in…

Ask Matt Sosnick A Question
Last week, I had a great conversation with super-agent, Matt Sosnick. It’s guys like Matt that make you once again appreciate the business of representing athletes after you discover that there are those out there who make it their life’s work to try to steal your clients (I won’t mention any names, but I recently…

Sosnick Speaks
On April 25, 2007, we had the pleasure of interviewing one of baseball’s great agents, Matt Sosnick of Sosnick-Cobbe Sports. If the name rings a bell it is probably due to the book License to Deal, which is a book that was written by ESPN writer, Jerry Crasnick, and highlights much of Sosnick’s trials and…
