David Falk re-entered the sports agency world in 2007 (representing draft pick, Jeff Green), and has not been afraid to vocalize his opinions about the industry ever since. "The sports agent business has become so corrupt ? I would not encourage anyone to try to become an agent right now." [Short and Sweet] - 4/23/08 "Instead of evolving, the sports agent business has devolved. We're talking about reverse evolution. It's basically unregulated and there's wholesale cheating going on. I'm not angry about it. It's just that it's about buying clients instead of building relationships." [Another Darren Interviews An Agent] - 5/2/08 "A guy who has been in the sports business for 40 years, and was basically cryogenically frozen, resurfaced last year, and we both competed for the same player this year. The player eventually went with me, but three days after this player told this agent he selected me, this agent told him, 'You...

Life on the Road plus a new hatred for Michael Jordan

Four weeks on the road doesn't seem like that long of a time but it wears on you for sure. Before you know it every girl you see looks like a 10. Yesterday I swear a 200 pound girl with a pretty face looked like a supermodel.

So that's why Terrence Kiel needed all that codeine-based cough syrup

Terrence Kiel, one of several Chargers arrested over the past year, was trying to sell the couch syrup to create some income to help settle his gambling debts. Officials were told gambling is: "exactly what caused the problem, that he was in over his head because he gambles too much." Who does he think he is, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan?

Jay Bilas Owns the Baltimore Sun

Ray Frager, a blogger who doesn't quite get blogging or sports for that matter, runs the Sun's sports media blog.

Reviewing the 2008 All Star Game Program

Obviously the makers of last year?s All Star Game program had a lot to play with as the game was being held at Yankee Stadium which almost has too much baseball tradition for a person to take in at one time.

Jimmy Johnson owns Martinsville

It was a song that was probably going to be sung, but the usual Jimmy Johnson - Jeff Gordon duet is getting old at Martinsville. Their mastery of the Virginia paper clip is well documented, but it looked for a while like there may actually some new blood would surface at NASCAR's shortest Cup track. Early race runs by Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Burton and even Jeff Green offered...
