I had a fantastic time sitting on the “Athletes, Artists, Celebrities” panel at Johnson & Wales University this week. It was one of the best turnouts I have ever seen for a sports and entertainment event and it was very well run. Tomorrow, I will venture to Marlins Park to sit on another panel (“Protecting […]
I was lucky to have the opportunity to experience Opening Day of the new Marlins Park. While the Marlins offense was nowhere to be found, the new stadium certainly exceeded all expectations. And I can’t complain with getting home just in time to see the Miami Heat seal the deal against Oklahoma City. I always […]
Finally a weekend where I get to relax at my home base (Miami, Florida). Please do not take that as me complaining, though, since I absolutely love traveling the country to speak to individuals who are passionate about Sports Law. I have to give love to former Duke basketball player Jon Scheyer making Aliyah. Always happy to […]
It feels like every week, I am publishing a Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up from a new location. This week it is from Boston, Massachusetts, where I am speaking on the NBA Collective Bargaining Panel at the Harvard Law School 2012 Sports Law Symposium. Crazy week of NFL stories. The NFL handed down stern penalties on those […]
Viva March Madness in Las Vegas! My home is Caesars Palace until Monday, when I will be returning to the normalcy of South Florida. Next weekend, I will be in Boston to speak at the Harvard Law School Spring 2012 Sports Law Symposium. I am not looking forward to the colder temperatures, but I can’t wait […]
Football-heavy Friday Wrap-Up this week. Chicago was a lot of fun last weekend. I will be heading out to Las Vegas this coming Wednesday evening and will be out there for roughly five nights. The trip has a mixed purpose; both business and pleasure. The press recently seems quite preoccupied with the New Orleans Saints […]
This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you from Chicago, Illinois (specifically the DePaul Sports Law Symposium), where I will be speaking on specifically on Grants-in-aid & IRS tax code implications for the NCAA. This is a new subject for me, but one that I certainly enjoyed researching. DePaul has offered to take my speech and […]
This happened yesterday. What a weight off my shoulders, and honestly, I think it is a great victory for many “bloggers” who are threatened with legal action based on the content of their posts. Looking forward to the Nova Southeastern University Sports & Entertainment Law Symposium this Sunday. If you are in South Florida, come […]
Tomorrow is my mother’s birthday. Happy Birthday to the best mom in the world. I had a great time in New Orleans last week hanging with some baseball industry veterans, judging excellent baseball arbitration oral arguments by well researched law students, and maybe having a hand grenade or two on Bourbon Street. I recently booked […]
This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you from the New Orleans Airport. I will be back in Miami in approximately 2 hours. Just wrapped up another great time in NOLA where I was fortunate to judge Tulane’s Baseball Arbitration Competition for the second straight year. It was also my birthday yesterday, which always […]
