[Week 5]"Labor and Agents" Volume 10, Issue 23, P-12

This article talks about how a rival group of NFL contract advisers tried to get JaMarcus Russell (the number 1 draft pick in the 2007 NFL Draft) to fire his agents because they were in a long drawn-out struggle with the Oakland Raiders to get a contract worked out. JaMarcus ultimately did not fire his agents and they finally reached an agreement with the Raiders where Russell signed a deal that would give him around 68 million dollars for 6 years.

This article was very interesting to me because I was not aware that it was a rule that you could not try to sway a player from other agents while that player is under contract with that agent. I thought it showed that JaMarcus and his family are people of their word who do not run when times get hard because there were many who would have told JaMarcus to end the hold-out and stop listening to his agents. It shows that in sport management it can be very cut-throat and you should not be quick to trust just anyone. I think that this article is very good because it shows so many aspects of the sport world. It show how competitive it is in this profession. It shows that some people do still have character and are good people when it comes to the JaMarcus and his family in how they stuck with their agents and trusted to do the right thing for him. It finally showed how lucractive this profession can be. I always look forward to reading about these kinds of features.

(Week 4) "Labor and Agents" Vol. 10, Issue 23, Pg. 12

This article is concerning the number 1 pick in the NFL draft, JaMarcus Russel, and the long drawn out contract issue. There could have been a potential lawsuit due to possible unlawful talks between Russel's family and rival agencies of Russel's current agents. There has been so much talk regarding the fact that JaMarcus Russel maybe is being a little bit greedy with his rookie contract. It seems as though the author intended on bringing forth information pertaining to the agents point of view to give fans another perspective.
I, for one, did believe it was solely JaMarcus Russel being greedy, but in fact, there were other variables. I was unaware that it was illegal to talk with football players who already had an agent. It seems like that takes away from the competitive market. It was an interesting, yet informative article.

[Week 6] “NASCAR loses research partner, reopens category." V-10, I-23, P-4

With the development of NASCAR in the North America, lots of companies are trying to enter this industry by providing their services or products. Furthermore, by putting marketing stickers on the car, those sponsor companies are able to market their corporate images to the sports fans. However, Advanced Micro Devices just made a decision to exit this sports territory due to the internal changes of their operational strategy.

Although AMD doubled its corporation size by acquiring ATI, it is losing one of the marketing channels to communicate with the NASCAR fans. Once other related corporations take the current position that AMD is performing now, AMD would be hard to come back to this sports territory and would also be hard to win the same support level from the NASCAR fans.
