Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up
Back to school, back to school. First week done. This semester seems like it will be much more relaxed than any I have experienced thus far in law school…especially once the 2009 UF Sports Law Symposium is over. I cannot wait for next Friday, when it will all go down at the UF Levin College […]

Nostalgic Economics
As I sit on the front porch of my house listening to the cheers of the high school football stadium that rests less then a hundred yards from my home, I cannot help but to feel a sense of nostalgia and longing for those blissful, care-free days. Sitting in the stands with my friends, laughing […]

Career Sports Expanding To NY
The company credited for getting my feet wet in this industry, Career Sports & Entertainment, has just announced major expansion news. Career Sports has definitely thrived in the city of Atlanta, GA, is in the process of expanding to New York City and has been recently searching for some office space. Jim Donofrio, owner of […]
A little over a year ago, I reported on the internal struggles over at CSMG headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. The company was spending a lot of money being on projects that had not yet amounted to anything worthwhile and the company was split over whether to focus more on contractual negotiations or marketing deals. Meanwhile, […]
