Christian Dawkins was convicted in 2019 on conspiracy and bribery charges when plotting to bribe top college coaches to steer their NBA-bound athletes toward his sports management company and favored financial advisors. His conviction was upheld in June 2021 by an appellate court. This week, Dawkins is set to begin his 18-month sentence in an […]
Happy November to everybody. I had a blast last weekend in Jacksonville for Florida/Georgia, and while the Gators did not win, the defensive line looked amazing. I believe we are the highest ranked two-loss team in the initial College Football Playoff ranking, so that says a lot about what Dan Mullen has been able to […]
It’s been a long time, but I will be heading to Jacksonville this weekend for the annual Florida vs. Georgia game on “neutral” turf. It could very well be the game that determines who represents the SEC East in the SEC Championship game. Then, the following weekend, I’ll be heading to New York and be […]
It was a very tough week, as I have dealt with losing a client and friend in Dan Fegan. Interestingly, although I have covered the sports agent industry and served as legal counsel for many in the space over many years, I only first started speaking with and assisting Fegan in the past year. Previously, […]
What a terrible week with the inclusion of a school shooting at nearby Parkland high school Stoneman Douglas. My thoughts are with everyone grieving nearby. I’ll start this week’s wrap-up by republishing something I recently wrote on my LinkedIn page: Ad Matai. I’ve been to Israel a few times in my life and always have […]
Well we have finally made it to the month of December. 22 days until I get married and a month until I go to South Africa for my honeymoon. Business is booming at Heitner Legal, with many cases settling to the delight of clients and with the firm picking up a lot of new clients […]
I made it back from Costa Rica in one piece, but barely. In fact, I was lucky to come home when I did, as a 6.5 earthquake hit around where I was staying right after we departed to come back home. Overall, it was a great trip. But as always, it’s good to be back. […]
I made it back from a week trip to Turkey for the Turkish Airlines Open and I am still quite jetlagged. I’m also currently in Costa Rica, where I’m celebrating my bachelor party with 11 of my closest friends. I don’t think I have any more trips planned (other than business) before the end of […]
Shabbat Shalom from Antalya, Turkey, a place that I am visiting for the third time in my life and despite the current ban on Visas provided between Turkey and the U.S. I am here as a guest of Turkish Airlines, which is hosting its annual Turkish Airlines Open on the European Tour. It’s an amazing […]
Well I guess my Saturdays have opened up a bit, as the Florida Gators have had a few rough weeks, making it virtually impossible for the team to have any chance to represent the SEC East at the Championship Game. But the Dolphins were quite the surprise this past week, putting together an amazing comeback […]
