College football is back, and very shortly the 2012 NFL regular season will begin. Hallelujah! I will be in Austin, Texas next Thursday and Friday, speaking at the Texas Review of Entertainment and Sports Law’s 4th Annual Symposium. Come say hi if you are in town. Anybody out there picking my Florida Gators to win […]
My second year as a professor of Sport Agency Management at Indiana University officially began this past Tuesday. I did not make the same mistake that I did last Fall of scheduling class for Monday nights (there’s some sort of program my students are interested in called “Monday Night Football”). College football approaches, as does […]
It’s easy to mistake North America with North Korea. Earlier this week, I contributed my thoughts to Scott Soshnick of Bloomberg on a squatter’s attempt to register the trademark “Fierce Five.” This week at Forbes.com, I wrote, Sports Betting Suggestion Site Supplants Traditional Point Spread With Wisdom Of The Crowd. I have my fantasy football […]
Yesterday was my half-birthday. Don’t laugh – I actually used to celebrate my half birthday growing up (just another excuse to party…or shove chocolate cake in my face). This looks like a good cause: Help Support the Netanya Foundation’s Hoops for Kids Program. One thing I always love about the Olympics is the great morale […]

Thoughts and prayers to those affected by the disgusting shooting in Colorado overnight. Thanks to law professor Marc Edelman for referencing me in his article, Making the Most of Your Law School Experience. His friendship and mentoring over the years has been invaluable. I’ll be honest – Tony Romo would totally rock my world if we […]
Yesterday was a long day of work intermingled with moving my residence from downtown Miami to Brickell. I am in love with my new apartment. Pretty dead week in actual sports. Obviously, the Freeh report is the news of the week. I heard that Judge Louis Freeh’s next project is to focus on the bounty allegations concerning […]
I hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July celebrations. I am moving to a new apartment next week, leaving downtown Miami (across from the American Airlines Arena) and getting a spot in Brickell, near my office. Here are a couple of articles I published for Forbes.com this week: 1) NFL Concussion Litigation Sideshow: The Battle […]
The NBA Draft has come and gone. Make sure to check out our 2012 NBA Draft Agents/Players List resource. My latest for Forbes.com is titled, Anthony Davis Will Not Become The Richest Rookie In The NBA.
