Great New Contract, Joe Flacco! PHA Included? Better Be!

What an accomplishment, Joe Flacco!  My congratulations to you and your sports agent on negotiating such a lucrative six-year contract as elite quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.  I cannot conceive of $120 million over six years, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy getting used to the idea fairly quickly. All media reports Lisa’s read to me […]

Healthcare Reform Compromised Unless Patient Has a PHA

To write healthcare reform is badly needed in our country is elementary.  The situation is more complicated than universal coverage (although that’s a good thing.)  The problem is how to obtain coverage that actually gets you something.  If anyone is working with just one undamaged widget upstairs, it’s obvious not enough quality providers in reputable […]

“Man Up” Is Something We All Know; But “Woman Up?”

I’ve written about my November 2011 stroke, my late wife Sylvia’s January 2012 death from Alzheimer’s, and my journey back from my stroke and my grief with the help of my knowledgeable healthcare advocate, Lisa.  These challenges have been difficult and, I feel, impossible to have managed alone.  With my own SOUL SHERPA to handle the management of […]

Is That Prince William or a Client Who’s a Professional Athlete?

Now that Lisa’s expanded SOUL SHERPA and is accepting professional athletes as clients, I asked her just how many professional athletes does she know?  Turns out she’s SO confidential, she won’t even tell me. I can tell you she’s never discussed the details of her business dealings with me, but I do know she works […]

Lisa’s Turn: My Super Bowl Fantasy . . . Look Who REALLY Won

The televised game is over.  As far as that’s concerned, the Baltimore Ravens came out on top (just barely.)  They’ll be celebrating all night long in New Orleans, as they should.  Just promise guys, no drinking and driving.  Drink all you want, since you think that’s what’s expected of you.  Know it’s also expected you […]

Every NFL Player Needs One Smart (Soul Sherpa) Mother

Lisa and I watched the inspirational footage from last year’s NFL Rookie Symposium.  We did so to see what it is you elite guys are exposed to in preparation for your extraordinary lives.  Lives that thrill millions of us.  We watched to see if perhaps something is missing.  We feel something is seriously amiss because […]

I’m No Centenarian Catfisher! Facebook, Clear My Name!

It takes a lot for an old Jewish man to get a break in the world of professional athletics.  (Why is Lisa laughing at me as I dictate this to her to type?)  Doesn’t everyone know I follow the Sherpa belief of intent?  My intentions, and those of SOUL SHERPA, are transparent and exactly as presented.  I guess […]

You’ve Seen Manti Te’o’s Imperfect Life; Now Get Back to Yours

It’s late tonight.  Henry’s asleep, getting his rest as he should at 100.  Bob and I cut Henry a lot of slack because he’s elderly.  He’s got a heart of gold, and has been through the ringer since his stroke and the loss of his beloved Sylvia just over one year ago.  Maybe it’s time […]

Super Bowl Dreaming: RG3 & Me, Realistic Rehab & Living to 100

Robert, I’m happy to hear your surgery went well on Wednesday.  With your rehab underway, I wish you all the best.  I know you will approach this challenge like a champion.  My preference would’ve been to see you play in the Super Bowl on February 3rd, but I’ll have to wait another year for that. Given […]
