To all the ladies who love themselves some SportsAgentBlog.com, Happy Mothers Day this Sunday! I am down in South Florida and loving every second of being down here. This month, I will have my article titled, The Plight of PASPA: It’s Time to Pull the Plug on the Prohibition, published in the Gaming Law Review and Economics. It is interesting timing for the article to be published, considering that the U.S. Supreme Court very recently denied Delaware’s writ of certiorari petition to have the Court look at a matter that would allow Delaware to expand its sports betting offerings beyond the NFL and beyond 3+ game parlays concerning that sport. I take a look at the Delaware situation in my article. The MLB Draft is only a month away! Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Basketball
