There are two sides to every story. That is apparently true with regard to a meeting held between roughly sixty National Football League players and six certified Contract Advisors a couple of weeks ago in Key Biscayne, Florida. As I reported on March 16, the NFL Players Association had followed up the meeting attended by […]
Many National Football League players are celebrating this weekend. Some of them are recipients of massive deals from the prior week, which included a combined amount of roughly $1.7 billion promised to players in the future with $842 million of that guaranteed. However, the celebrations are slightly tamed for a few by the events that […]
Hundreds of NFL Players Association certified Contract Advisors come from all areas of the United States to Indianapolis on an annual basis for the NFL Combine. They are in town primarily to support their clients, communicate with NFL personnel and attend an NFLPA meeting to satisfy their certification requirements under the union’s regulations. But this […]
Officially less than four months until full usage of #SoaringToNewHeitners and the wedding takes place — in Boca, Florida. It was quite an eventful week with a lot going on at Heitner Legal. Scored a big win in summary judgment for a corporate client that is thrilled with the result, especially since we also helped […]
Good morning from warm South Florida, where basketball is totally on fire. It looks like Miami, Florida and Florida State will all be making the NCAA Tournament, which should create a lot of trash talking between now and the start of the tourney.

Outside of Spike TV’s short lived attempt at Super Agent, there has never been a TV series following real sports agents in the USA. The Esquire Network looks to change that after giving the greenlight to […]
Louisville S Gerod Holliman has decided to forgo his final year of eligibility to sign with Peter Schaffer of Authentic Athletix for his representation in this May’s NFL Draft, according to a Tweet by Liz Mullen. The 6′ 202 lb Miami, FL native totaled 44 tackles, including 7.5 TFL and an NCAA-leading 14 INT in 13 […]
Shabbat Shalom from Key Largo, where we have managed to avoid some pretty bad storms brewing to the north. I will be heading back up to Miami later in the day and hopefully take some of the 2014 World Golf Championships at Doral during the weekend. Next weekend I am off to Dallas, where I […]

Today I am in Louisville, Kentucky, speaking at the University of Louisville’s sport administration program’s 5th Annual Speaker Summit along with ESPN’s Jemele Hill and University of Toledo College of Law professor Geoffrey Rapp. In case you have not yet done so, go ahead and pre-order […]
