This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you live from Las Vegas, Nevada. I will not lie, it was scheduled well in advance, so I apologize if you find any of the links to be just a tad stale. The Florida Gators will be honored at Sun Life Stadium during a Miami Dolphins game against […]
I am officially teaching my first college class next Monday. I am more excited than nervous. The one thing I am not looking forward to is putting together the Powerpoint slides. Two days after that, I will be taking a much deserved vacation to Las Vegas. Shout at me if you will be in Vegas […]
Shabbat Shalom everybody! I will be heading to the Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers game tonight to check out some preseason action. The story of the week (and possibly the year) was easily penned by Charles Robinson at Yahoo! Sports. His article, Renegade Miami football booster spells out illicit benefits to players, is still one […]
NFL football is back! The Middle East could become an even more volatile region if the United Nations general assembly approves a resolution recognizing the state of Palestine with a capital of East Jerusalem. Michael Crowley of TIME believes that Palestinian statehood could become a big campaign issue. Former Israeli envoy Gabriela Shalev thinks that […]
The NFL is back in business, college football season is quickly approaching (Go Gators!), and the NBA looks like it is going to go through a much more painful process than the NFL just experienced. I start teaching a brand new class called Sport Agency Management at Indiana University Bloomington near the end of the month. […]
Take a second and nominate me (@DarrenHeitner) as a “Rising Star in Media” for the First Annual Untitled Sports Media Awards Project. You can insert http://sportsagentblog.com as the Nominee URL. Thanks! Shabbat Shalom SAB readers. A new study from Cambridge University states that Ashkenazi Jews (descendants of Jews from Medieval Germany) have an IQ that is 20% […]
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 […]
I am not one for making predictions, but I have heard a lot of people guess that today would be a very important day in NFL Collective Bargaining negotiations for months. In fact, many believe that at some point today, a new deal could be reached, effectively ending the NFL Lockout. Sticking with the NFL, […]
I am up in Orlando taking a deposition today; such is the life of a lawyer who delves in transactional and litigation matters. Basketball heavy Friday Wrap-Up this week. It is interesting to hear of some NBA players seriously considering teams overseas. Fully expect each one of them who signs to include an opt-out clause […]
NFL Lockout, please meet your new friend, NBA Lockout. The NBA and NFL have expired collective bargaining agreements and no clue as to when they will be striking deals with the respective groups that are representing the players of each league. I hope the NBA and the NBPA are able to come to an agreement…if […]
