It sure is nice to be back in South Florida for a semi-extended period of time. I will be down here until March 14, when I start the last month of my life as a college student. Law school is so close to being over, but even after I graduate, I will never stop learning. […]

It’s time for the NFL Combine. I will be watching the festivities from the comfort of my couch in Florida. I have no reason to be there, so why travel to a place even colder than Gainesville? It is currently in the low 30s here. Spring Training games are about to start, and I cannot […]

Culpepper has long subscribed to a policy of negotiating his own contracts, talking to NFL teams on his own behalf, and keeping the 1-3% he would have otherwise payed an NFLPA agent. It was almost three years ago when I claimed that Culpepper could […]
When I first heard that the new United Football League (UFL) lost $30 million in its inaugural year and that its executives were not at all phased by that number, I wondered what was up. Sure, they might not have expected immediate success, but $30 million sure seems like a large chunk of change to […]
My 25th birthday (this past Tuesday) was a wild and crazy time. As I get older, I hope that I never lose my fun side. Work hard, play hard. I will be in Gainesville this weekend, but next weekend, I will be down in Ft. Lauderdale to speak at the 2010 Nova Southeastern Sports and […]
