It’s easy to mistake North America with North Korea. Earlier this week, I contributed my thoughts to Scott Soshnick of Bloomberg on a squatter’s attempt to register the trademark “Fierce Five.” This week at Forbes.com, I wrote, Sports Betting Suggestion Site Supplants Traditional Point Spread With Wisdom Of The Crowd. I have my fantasy football […]
I am extremely excited for the start of the 2012 Summer Olympics. But this Dan Wetzel story really makes me think little of the International Olympic Committee. The Economist notes that there is a revival of Judaism with a neat map that my undergrad professor of “Geography of the Jewish Population” (that was actually a class I […]
You are going to have to wait until at least Winter 2014 to read Leigh Steinberg’s anticipated memoir, but you do not have to wait that long to watch and listen to him discuss his life as a sports agent. Lucas Biebelberg, a Marketing Intern at 16W Marketing, LLC, recently interviewed Steinberg, asking him about his path […]

This happened yesterday. What a weight off my shoulders, and honestly, I think it is a great victory for many “bloggers” who are threatened with legal action based on the content of their posts. Looking forward to the Nova Southeastern University Sports & Entertainment Law Symposium this Sunday. If you are in South Florida, come […]
This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you from the New Orleans Airport. I will be back in Miami in approximately 2 hours. Just wrapped up another great time in NOLA where I was fortunate to judge Tulane’s Baseball Arbitration Competition for the second straight year. It was also my birthday yesterday, which always […]

Jason Belzer and I created a presentation, which took a deep look at the implications of academic reform, as well as the newly instituted standards and other proposed changes.
