Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (9/24/2010)

On Monday, I almost had a heart-attack.  Sure, I am exaggerating a bit, but when the news broke that Florida Bar Exam scores had been posted, I got extremely nervous.  Since completing the exam, everyone I had spoken to said that they knew I passed.  I still was not convinced.  Upon finding out that I had in fact passed, I was overcome with joy.  I don’t think I have overcome the hangover of happiness yet.  The celebrations will continue this weekend.  I will be traveling to Tampa later today to spend the weekend with my girlfriend.  Big game between the Dolphins and the Jets this Sunday.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Football

Baseball

Sports Agents

By Darren Heitner

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
