Thanks to everyone who voted in the Presidential election. No matter the party you are registered with nor the presidential candidate you voted for, it is important that you let your voice be heard by submitting a ballot. And hopefully, no matter if the candidate(s) you voted for won or not, you woke up Wednesday […]
I was supposed to be in New York today and speaking at the 4th Annual New York Law School Sports Law Symposium, but Hurricane Sandy has made that impossible. It is my understanding that the organizers will work hard to reschedule the event, which had an all-star cast of panelists and very interesting topics that […]
I am in Tempe, Arizona this weekend to speak at Arizona State’s 3rd Annual Conference On Sports & Entertainment Law. So many Jews (myself included) love Tim Tebow. Cannot wait until the start of the NBA regular season. I will be back in Miami for Tuesday’s game against the Boston Celtics. A few stories this […]
Huge game this weekend between my Florida Gators and South Carolina. I have a trial set to begin on Monday, so do not expect too much out of me in the immediate future. My contributions on Forbes.com this week included: 1) The Brooklyn Nets Are Not Found At Nets.com, But They Should Be!; 2) Red […]
Baseball games are becoming exciting, the NFL progresses toward the middle of the regular season, and basketball is about to start. This is always a great time of year for sports fans. Unfortunately, the NHL and NHLPA have not yet come to terms on a new deal, the players remain locked out, and games are […]
I’m heading up to Gainesville, Florida today for UF vs. LSU weekend. To say that I cannot wait is a huge understatement. Allen Iverson on Maccabi Haifa for U.S. games? Okay, let’s see how that turns out. I published a couple of stories on Forbes.com yesterday: 1) 1 In 5 American Parents Spending More Than […]
No more replacement refs! How long until spectators start complaining about the old fashioned NFL referees? On that note, I had a couple of articles on Forbes that touched on the referee drama: 1) NFL Replacement Referees Have Compromised The Game’s Integrity And League’s Position On Sports Betting; and 2) NFL’s Lockout Of Referees Is […]
I am very happy to hear that Israel is the favorite in the Jupiter, Florida World Baseball Classic Qualifier. It would be fun to see Shawn Green, Gabe Kapler, and crew compete again on a truly global platform. The team won its first game yesterday against South Africa by a score of 7-3. Minor league first baseman […]
Sunday night is the start of the New Year for my fellow Jews. Happy Rosh Hashanah to those who will be celebrating. There is not much to celebrate when it comes to South Florida sports. The Dolphins were destroyed by the Texans, the Marlins season cannot end soon enough, and the Miami Hurricanes got shellacked by Kansas […]
This week’s wrap-up is coming to you from Austin, Texas, where I am speaking on two panels at the Texas Review of Entertainment and Sports Law’s 4th Annual Symposium – The Dark Side of Sports and Entertainment Law. It is my first trip to Austin, a town that many friends have highly recommended in the past. Two new […]
