Travel, travel, travel…it’s all I seem to do lately. Although after this weekend’s trip to Boston to speak at Suffolk Law School (I’m speaking there tonight), the traveling will settle down for a bit until I head up to Washington D.C. for the Sports Lawyers Association Conference mid-May. I just sat through my first mediation. […]

Shabbat Shalom all the way from Los Angeles, California, where it is only 9 a.m. I am about to be moderating a panel at Southwestern Law School titled, “Pre-Professional Athletes in an Amateur World: NCAA Rules, State Laws, Agents and Extra Benefits.” If you have anything you think I should ask the impressive panel of […]
I am going on a year long trip around the world and will not be posting any updates to this site until 4/1/2012. April Fools? It feels good to have baseball again. It is too bad that the headlines will continue to revolve around the NFL/NFLPA labor dispute. I picked one Final Four team correctly […]
I am at Florida International Law School today speaking at the school’s first Sports Law Symposium. Later today, I will be boarding a cruise to the Bahamas for a much needed weekend of relaxation. Don’t be surprised if the posting at the beginning of next week is a little on the light side. Anyone headed […]
Barak Netanya wishes you a Happy Purim. I am up in Atlanta, Georgia for the day, speaking to the student body at Emory University. I absolutely love this time of the year. I do not think there is a sport event as engaging as the NCAA Tournament. And the icing on the cake is that […]
The Miami Heat ended their losing streak by defeating the 2010 World Champion Los Angeles Lakers for the second time this season. And order is restored in the world. On Beyond The Game last week, I stated that it is too early for people to start panicking about the Heat. The NBA is comprised of […]
This Shabbat Shalom Friday Wrap-Up must start off with a special shout out to Dynasty Baseball Agent, Bryan Swalley. We kept it quiet for quite a while, but Dynasty signed former Major League Baseball pitcher Randy Keisler months ago. Ever since signing Keisler, Swalley has been advocating like crazy on behalf of Keisler. Yesterday, Keisler […]
Shout out to all the agents currently freezing their tails off in Indianapolis. It is where the NFL Scouting Combine is held every year and happens to be the most popular annual meeting for NFL Certified Contract Advisors to attend. This year, it happens to be a mandatory meeting for all Contract Advisors. The NFLPA […]
Happy Birthday to my mom, Gloria Heitner, who has to be the most amazing woman in the world. New Orleans was a great time and Tulane put on a fantastic event. Tomorrow, I will be speaking on a panel at the Nova Southeastern University Sports & Entertainment Law Symposium titled “Family Managing an Athlete’s Career.” I […]
Amazing that I arrive in New Orleans when the city happens to be the coldest it has been this entire Winter. Oh well. At least The Big Easy has been a great time thus far, and I have really enjoyed serving as a arbitrator at the Tulane Law Baseball Arbitration Competition. Many thanks to everybody […]
