Souhan races through his favorite topics of the week before welcoming IFA founder Blake Baratz, who reps Thielen, Bateman & Johnson.

Michael Rand wonders at the outset how Twins manager Rocco Baldelli can justify using Alexander Colome in a one-run game Tuesday, with predictably poor results. And he explains how the Wolves -- who are no longer the worst team in the NBA nor the worst team in sports history -- can change perceptions about their draft pick by winning, even if it means slightly decreasing their chances of keeping that pick in 2021. Blake Baratz, founder of the Institute For Athletes -- an agency that represents Vikings WR Adam Thielen and impending Gophers draft pick Rashod Bateman -- joins the show for an inside look at what happens in the time leading up to and during the draft for a high-level prospect like Bateman. There will be nervous moments starting Thursday, but it's just the start of a long journey for Bateman and countless others.

Brad Cole and David Branstad recap the Zurich Classic, fill you in on new bonus structures on the PGA Tour and get you ready for the NFL Draft. The guys are also joined by Blake Baratz with Team IFA.

Ever wonder what it's like to be an NFL agent?  Do the movies get it right? Besides negotiating contracts, what do agents do?  All these questions are answered and then some.  Blake is the founder and lead agent for Institute for Athletes based in Minneapolis, MN.  He is from Hopkins, MN and graduated from U of Wisconsin-Madison.  After graduation his love of sports took him to New York City and Los Angeles to learn the sports management world.  From this experience he realized he could provide a holistic service that seemed to be lacking from the big agencies. He created IFA back in 2009 and has quickly built up a very talented client list.  Some of his players include, Adam Thielen, Tyler Johnson, Rashod Bateman, Jonathan Allen and Stephen Weatherly.  Their marketing arm also represents Harrison Smith.

Blake Baratz is an NFL agent and the founder of the Institute for Athletes.  Blake represents a number of prominent NFL players and represents Jonathan Allen from the University of Alabama, who will most likely be a top 5 pick in next week's NFL draft. In our conversation, Blake talks about his childhood and how sports played a major role in his identity.  He reminisces about being a collegiate tennis player and the lessons he learned from competing at a high level.  And we discuss his mindset on creating a company from scratch and how he has built a company to represent his values.  Blake is an incredible Twtter follow so I recommend you check him out there as well @BlakeBaratz.  

If you're a future NFL player -- or someone who wonders why all these seemingly rich young athletes go broke -- you need to listen to this podcast.

How should players budget for careers that can end at age 25? What's the smartest way for a first-round pick to handle his signing bonus -- and how should he handle things when the requests for money start rolling in? We discuss all of that and more in this episode.
