This Shabbat Shalom Wrap-Up is brought to you one day earlier than usual. I am soon leaving Florida for Las Vegas to celebrate my step-brother’s bachelor party. I will not have access to a computer for the entire weekend, and thus submit to you the stories that I failed to cover during the week: Sports […]

For those of you wrapping up your Winter Breaks, I wish you a smooth start into your Spring Semesters/work hours. Today is my first day back to law school, and the fact that the temperature is in the 20s in Gainesville, FL does not make my desire to return to the classroom any stronger. Is […]
Bizarro Joakim Noah (Anderson Varejao) may be heading back to the United States sooner than anticipated. After terrible contract negotiations between Varejao, his agent (Dan Fegan), and Cleveland Cavaliers GM, Danny Ferry, Varejao looks to end up back with Cavs for at least the next two years. Last week, I covered the Varejao case and […]
Anderson Varejao looks and plays like a bizarro Joakim Noah to me. That being said, you may have noticed (but probably not, because you have been so focused on LeBron James) that the Cleveland Cavaliers have been without Varejao since the beginning of the 2007-08 NBA season. His absence did not hurt the Cavs much […]

Impossible Is Nothing
Gilbert Arenas is one of the most marketable sports personalities currently playing a professional sport in the United States. That says a lot, considering he wore the number 0 originally at Arizona because he was told that he would never get any playing time. He continues to wear the number to spite his former doubters. […]
We enjoyed Champaign, Illinois last week. Nothing like being in a town when its team unpredictably knocks off the #1 team in the nation. Unfortunately this week’s Friday Wrap-Up comes to you back from Gainesville, FL, where I am beginning to fret about first semester Law School finals. Dwyane Wade has signed with William Morris […]
Adrian Peterson is the man. This past weekend, he put up 296 yards rushing against my Fantasy Football defense, the San Diego Chargers. Breaking the previous single-game rushing record, Peterson has raised his stock tremendously in his rookie year of play. Just how much may that single performance be worth, though? Darren Rovell to the […]

Seattle’s RoY
As early as it is into the 2007-2008 NBA season I’m going to ‘go out on a limb’ and make my pick for this season’s Rookie of the Year. I know the title of this post sort of gives things away; and while I’d love to be controversial and say that Jeff Green would edge […]
“He’s young, good looking, stays out of trouble and has a sizable following.” Name that player. Jacoby Ellsbury? Adrian Peterson? Actually, the statement was made by Grace Chen of William Morris Agency (WMA) and he was referring to his client, Yi Jianlian [Not just a face in the crowd]. WMA is very convinced that Yi […]

Miami Heat Season Preview
The Miami Heat won the NBA Finals only two years ago. If you were not alive at the time and somehow developed enough brains to understand the NBA at the age of two, you would barely believe that this team made the playoffs. Anyway, here are your Key Losses that trump the Additions followed by […]
