Stories from each of those chairs — and what I think they add up to.

About
I started as a player agent, representing Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, and Boomer Esiason. From there I spent nine years as Vice President of the Green Bay Packers, including the Favre-to-Rodgers transition.
Today I'm Executive Director of the Moorad Center for the Study of Sports Law at Villanova, and I write and speak regularly for Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and others.
The thread through all of it has been the same work — understanding and explaining how the business of sports actually operates, in language that doesn't require a law degree. These days that's The Sunday 7, the Business of Sports podcast, and a new book.
