Back to school, back to school. First week done. This semester seems like it will be much more relaxed than any I have experienced thus far in law school…especially once the 2009 UF Sports Law Symposium is over. I cannot wait for next Friday, when it will all go down at the UF Levin College […]
My first semester 2nd year law school finals are OVER! Let me give future law students a recommendation: Even if you really like three particular classes, do not take all of them in the same semester if it means that your Final Exams for those classes will be scheduled back-to-back-to-back. Especially on the three last […]
One of the NFL’s best developing cornerbacks has been given a huge raise by the New York Giants. Corey Webster, the Giants’ right cornerback has been awarded a 5-year, $43-million contract extension that will run through 2013 and includes $20 million in guaranteed money. Had the Giants not extended his contract, Webster would be a […]
A federal jury awarded over 2000 NFL retirees more than $28 million in damages last week after a three week trial in San Francisco in a class action lawsuit against the NFL Players Association (NFLPA).

Culpepper announced his decision in an e-mail stating: “After taking a long look at my career and my personal convictions, I have decided to begin early retirement from the NFL effective immediately. Since the beginning of training […]
The issue regarding high rookie salaries has been a buzz around many of the professional leagues this summer. The NFL and NBA had their drafts recently with veteran players watching the rookies take home some big checks. ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen claims that the managers are the ones complaining yet they are the ones […]
We would all be acting ignorant if we were to take at face value what the higher-ups in the NFLPA are spitting at us: that increasing rookie salaries is not one of the main issues of pending talks between the players and owners and instead one relevant issue among many. Yes, there are many issues […]
One thing that’s definitely not lacking these days is an availability of mock drafts. Our own Paul Schackman has done a wonderful job on this site breaking things down throughout the weeks, but if that’s not enough for you, a quick search on Google reveals databases of literally hundreds of other drafts. Schackman last had […]
