Off to Tallahassee for the weekend (it is the capital of Florida for you non-Geography majors) and then back to Gainesville to move into a new residence for my final year of law school. I sent out the initial batch of invitations to potential moderators and panelists for the 2010 UF Sports Law Symposium. In […]

I am done with Summer law school finals. Business Orgs and Analysis & Drafting of Intellectual Property are out of the way…although I really enjoyed taking and learning the material for both classes. I cannot believe that in one-year from now, I will be done with law school and studying for the Bar Exam. I […]

All Star Break Numbers
There are a couple of good reads at the All-Star break surrounding the state of Major League Baseball. Both involve money. One says that the more money a team spends, the much better chance it has to be at the top of its division (the opposite for teams who don’t spend). So teams should spend […]

Those Who Are Fortunate
Since 2004, Jonah Freedman of Sports Illustrated, has been compiling The Fortunate 50: The 50 highest-earning American athletes. It is a respected compilation of the highest grossing athletes (sport earnings + outside-the-game activities) that is quoted in books, law review articles, etc. As noted in the piece, this is the first year since Jonah started […]
Dynasty had a few great additions to its baseball division this week. Expect more announcements on that front in the near future. Last night, some of our players excelled on the field. Kyle Gunderson bounced back from a couple of rough outings to get his 8th save of the season for the Jupiter Hammerheads. He […]

The education attained from living on your own for the first time, sitting in on lectures taught by the best of their trades, drinking too much certain nights, etc. is tough to learn elsewhere. However, for talented high school baseball players, college is an experience that […]
The New York Yankees love the Jews. I am down in South Florida for the weekend. It is nice to see part of my family…a five hour drive is not the worst thing in the world. I am turning in a paper for my Business Organizations class on Monday. The topic: Duties of Sports Agents […]
In many’s eyes, Albert Pujols is the best baseball player around and quite frankly, his numbers support that claim. Pujols’ career statistics are superior than many of the other players that hold down spots on the highest-paid list in the MLB; names such as Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Manny Ramirez, Derek Jeter and Carlos Beltran.

This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you from the capitol of Florida: Tallahassee. Yesterday, I woke up (actually barely even slept because of chirping birds all night) at roughly 6 a.m. to get my girlfriend ready for her MCAT. Thankfully that battle is behind us. I feel like I have been studying for […]
Scott Boras has started to put on a show in an effort to pull some leverage out of his hat for Stephen Strasburg’s contract. Boras is wisely positioning the righty from San Diego State as the next best thing since sliced bread—or Mark Prior, for whom the super-agent negotiated the current record deal for a […]
