First, I have to thank the Miami Heat for scheduling a great slate of games on my birthday weekend. Between a game against the Clippers tonight, my birthday tomorrow, and the Lakers vs. Heat on Sunday, this is sure to be a fun filled number of days. Articles this past week on Forbes.com include: (1) Value […]
Manti Te’o and Lance Armstrong were still topics of conversation this week, and then the NCAA had to come in and stir the pot. Now, the talk of the town is what went wrong in the investigation of former University of Miami booster Nevin Shapiro. I am happy to announce that I was named a […]
I was supposed to be in New York today and speaking at the 4th Annual New York Law School Sports Law Symposium, but Hurricane Sandy has made that impossible. It is my understanding that the organizers will work hard to reschedule the event, which had an all-star cast of panelists and very interesting topics that […]
South Florida-based basketball agent Corey Dean has signed basketball players Eloy Vargas and Travis Hyman. Dean is a graduate of Florida State University. In 2010, he started his own company, Insight Sports Management. Soon thereafter, he went on to partner with a company named UMG Global (where he is the Vice President), which is a sports agency […]

ESPN provided a DVD screener of the documentary, which I had a chance to review over the weekend.

I am on my way up to Gainesville, Florida to return to my alma mater (undergrad and law school) and watch the Gators take on the Alabama Crimson Tide. I can’t wait to see a lot of friends and watch some good football under the lights at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (8 p.m. kickoff). I […]
The sports symposiums are starting to sprout up across the country, and I am beginning to formalize my plans regarding which schools I will be attending this Fall. If you happen to be somewhat near one of the upcoming panels/symposiums, do your best to make it, as they are extremely informative and happen to be […]
At 9:45 p.m. EST, the Arizona Wildcats will take one the #1 seeded Duke Blue Devils (who I happen to have winning the entire NCAA Tournament). The Wildcats are no push over, though. In fact, the team has one of the best players in the nation with Sophomore Derrick Williams. The kid can flat out […]
