Nightmare Clients of the Week

Nightmare Clients for the Week of December 31st-January 7th

Nightmare Clients coming to you a little early this week due to my most-likely inability to reach a computer in Arizona. Even if I were able to access a computer, the gibberish probably would not make sense. If any athletes/broadcasters/coaches/etc mess up between now and Sunday, feel free to add it in the comments section.

1. Jake Peavy of the San Diego Padres was apparently arrested for displaying disorderly conduct after double parking [Padres’ Peavy arrested on disorderly conduct charge].  He must have really thrown a shit-fit.

2. Sticking with San Diego, sportscaster Jim Lampley was arrested for possibly beating his wife [Jim Lampley MADE YOU!]

3. Jared Allen of the Kansas City Chiefs becomes the next football player to be convicted of DUI…but this guy topped it off by getting charged twice in the span of a year [Chiefs DE Allen gets jail time for DUI].

4. Travis Taylor of the Minnesota Vikings does not like letting ambulances through his his path when he loses a football game on New Years.  But getting tasered and written up for disorderly conduct is exactly what you want on your record going into free-agency…right? [Vikings’ Taylor calls arrest ‘misunderstanding’]

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.
