Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (09/27/2013)

Revisiting Gainesville last weekend was a blast, and it is always nice to see the Gators beat up on Tennessee (for the 9th straight time).  This weekend I am in Costa Rica for a good friend’s bachelor party.  A lot of traveling, and who knows when it will end.  This week on FORBES: (1) Former BMX […]

I am making my yearly trip up to Gainesville, Florida and very excited to be in the Swamp to see the Gators take on the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend.  It was a great week of work, including the amazing honor of receiving a 40 under 40 award by the Daily Business Review, honoring 40 South […]

On To The Next One: Jose Iglesias

The regular day-to-day shortstop for the Detroit Tigers is suspended.  Jhonny Peralta was given a 50-game ban due to his purported involvement with the Miami-based Biogenesis clinic.  But the Tigers are not in terrible shape.  That is because the team was able to pull off a trade that brought Cuban-born shortstop José Iglesias on board.

College and professional football are fast approaching, and soon behind that will come the start of the NBA preseason.  Many are very thankful, as this time of the year tends to be slow in TV programming.  However, there have been plenty of high profile stories to follow in the dead of summer, one of which […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (7/19/2013)

I am spending the weekend in what appears to be the blistering hot New York.  At least we have rain to cool us down in Miami.  Maybe we will get some of that up north as well.  While I am up here I will be going to the Jay-Z/Justin Timberlake concert and speaking to the […]

Slow week of sports, but thank G-d for NBA TV, because watching the Summer League was actually slightly entertaining.  One of my cases got quite a bit of publicity this week — click here for a brief synopsis.  On FORBES: (1) Is Competitive Eating The Fastest Growing Sport In The World?; (2) Dwight Howard To Houston Heavily […]
