The trip from Fort Lauderdale to Eugene, Oregon is painful, but it was a joy to provide a Keynote Speech to the many law students interested in Sports and Entertainment Law. Thanks goes out to the whole crew for putting on a fantastic event. Then came the Super Bowl and all of its wonders. And then came my birthday. I’m an old man at 31 years of age. I started this website when I was a baby — 20 years old. We’ve come a long way. Next week I’m at the University of Pennsylvania to speak on fantasy sports, which always seems to have something to speak about. Catch me on Forbes and Inc. Here are some stories from the past week.
