Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (7/22/11)

So what do you think of our new layout?  Not only are we flashing a new design, but we switched servers, which should mean no more downtime (until we start hitting ESPN type page views).  I have officially had my Twitter name switched from @Darren_Heitner to @DarrenHeitner.  Can’t say that I am shocked that there is a lawsuit filed against the NFL and Riddell based on allegedly concealing brain injury risks.  I have done a lot of research on that particular subject and wrote an article about it on our sister site, ChangeLegal.com.  I know a lot of our readers are taking a state (or multiple states) Bar Exam within the next week.  To all of you, good luck!  Hopefully you will soon have ,Esq. at the end of your names.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

By Darren Heitner

Darren Adam Heitner, Esq., is a preeminent sports attorney and the founder of Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., a Fort Lauderdale-based law firm specializing in sports law, contract negotiations, intellectual property, and arbitration. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2010 and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, magna cum laude, from the University of Florida in 2007, where he was named Valedictorian of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Admitted to practice in the state bars of Florida, New York, and the District of Columbia, as well as multiple federal courts, Darren also serves as a certified arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association.

As an adjunct professor, Darren imparts his expertise through teaching Sports Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) at the University of Miami School of Law in the Entertainment, Arts, and Sports Law LL.M. program. His scholarly contributions include authoring several books published by the American Bar Association, such as How to Play the Game: What Every Sports Attorney Needs to Know, and numerous articles in prominent publications like Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and Above the Law. His thought leadership in NIL has earned him recognition as one of the foremost experts by The Wall Street Journal, USA TODAY, and On3, and he has been lauded as a “power player in NIL deals” by Action Network and a “top sports trademark attorney” by Sportico.

Darren’s passion for sports law led him to establish Sports Agent Blog on December 31, 2005, initially titled “I Want To Be A Sports Agent.” The platform, created as a New Year’s resolution, has grown into a cornerstone of the sports agency community, offering in-depth analysis of industry trends, legal disputes, and agent-player dynamics. His commitment to the field is further evidenced by his representation of numerous athletes and sports agents, as well as his prior role as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington, where he developed and taught a course on Sport Agency Management from 2011 to 2014.

Darren’s contributions have been recognized with prestigious honors, including the University of Florida’s 40 Under 40 Award, the University of Florida Levin College of Law’s Outstanding Young Alumnus Award, and designation as the best lawyer in Fort Lauderdale by Fort Lauderdale Magazine. He remains an active voice in the sports law community, sharing insights through his weekly NIL newsletter and his X posts, engaging a broad audience on legal developments in sports.

Email Intervention: It’s time to make the switch Email not looking
beautiful?
View it in your browser

Dear Disqus,

I’ve been your friend for a long time, so please know that when I say this,
I am saying it from the heart.

I’m worried about you. Year after year goes by and you’re still using that
outdated email program. I can’t sit idly by and watch how this is affecting
you and those around you, so I’m staging an email intervention and I’m
committed to helping you make the switch to Gmail.

Think about it: is there any good reason not to enjoy superior spam
protection, instant search, nested conversations and cool stuff like video
chat or the ability to call phones directly from your inbox?

So I say to you, bluntly but lovingly: I realize change can be scary, but
it’s time to switch to Gmail. Do it for me, do it for everyone else in your
life, but most importantly, do it for yourself.

I believe in you.

Your Friend,
D’Lish

WHY SWITCH? BUT HOW?

Gmail makes email easy and efficient. And maybe even fun. With Gmail,
you’ll get lots of storage space, less spam, fast search and lots more.
After you sign up, you’ll see the option to transfer over messages and
contacts from your old account. That way, you can pick up right where you
left off.
