Baseball over, basketball beginning and my Miami Dolphins suffering (even after an overtime win).  Should be a great slate of college football this Saturday with a mid-day match-up between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs and a nightcap of Florida State vs. Miami.  I can only imagine how crazy it will be in Brickell on Saturday night.  Jamaica is in the plans for much of next week.  More on that over here.  This week on FORBES: (1) Mobile App For College Football Fans Provides Live Coverage For Favorite Teams; (2) Albert Pujols’ Agent Begins Arbitration Against Former Baseball Agency; (3) 100 Days Out: JR Celski’s Rise To The Sochi 2014 Olympics; (4) LeBron James’ Strive For Greatness Campaign Expands Beyond Work On The Court; (5) Boston Red Sox Offseason Priority: Jacoby Ellsbury; (6) Athlete Stock Company Signs 49ers Vernon Davis But Buyer Beware; and (7) NFL Players Including Frank Gore And Santonio Holmes File Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit Against Major Bank.  And as always, the weekly wrap-up:

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.
