Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (6/21/2013)

Miami Heat.  Repeat.  I had a blast in Minneapolis, Minnesota this week speaking at the Brewer Sports Symposium’s Sports Law For Rookies And Veterans event.  Bill Plaschke wrote a really strong article about Los Angeles Dodgers team president Stan Kasten and his relationship with his father, who survived Nazi concentration camps.  Pots and pans are still banging in Miami, and I have not slept in days.  This past week on FORBES: (1) Compelling Boston Bruins Vs. Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Finals Could Keep Money In All NHL Players’ Pockets; (2) Booking Golf Tee Times Gradually Shifting To Online Marketplace; (3) Ed O’Bannon’s Challenge To Complete Class Certification In Fight Against NCAA; and (4) Miami Heat Vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Finals Game 7 Tickets Continue To Rise In Price.  As always, the weekly wrap-up:

Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel.
