Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (12/14/2012)

How can you not love Kevin Youkilis?  The guy is not built like many lean, strong baseball players of today, yet he still is an amazing contributor on the field.  And he’s Jewish.  Published in NY Bar.  I am thrilled to be published again in the New York State Bar Association Entertainment, Arts and Sports […]

UFL Needs To Rid Itself Of Legal Troubles To Have A Shot At Surviving

This month, the United Football League (UFL) announced that it was ending its season prematurely, but that it plans to return in 2013.  While I am not one to deter others from being optimistic, I just do not see the league making a triumphant return. A couple of days ago I was asked, “What will […]

United Football League Ends 2012 Season Early; Plans On 2013 Return

Last year, the United Football League (UFL) delayed the start of training camp and regular season games, and continued to lose money (a trend that started in its first year of existence).  The UFL eventually announced that the 2011 season would be shortened, leading many believe that it would not return in 2012.  But lo […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (9/21/2012)

I am very happy to hear that Israel is the favorite in the Jupiter, Florida World Baseball Classic Qualifier.  It would be fun to see Shawn Green, Gabe Kapler, and crew compete again on a truly global platform.  The team won its first game yesterday against South Africa by a score of 7-3.  Minor league first baseman […]

Thoughts and prayers to those affected by the disgusting shooting in Colorado overnight.  Thanks to law professor Marc Edelman for referencing me in his article, Making the Most of Your Law School Experience.  His friendship and mentoring over the years has been invaluable.  I’ll be honest – Tony Romo would totally rock my world if we […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/12/2012)

I had a fantastic time sitting on the “Athletes, Artists, Celebrities” panel at Johnson & Wales University this week.  It was one of the best turnouts I have ever seen for a sports and entertainment event and it was very well run.  Tomorrow, I will venture to Marlins Park to sit on another panel (“Protecting […]

Halloween is on Monday, but most people I know are celebrating this Saturday.  Any good costume ideas?  About to jump into speaking season, as I will be traveling to New York Law School next Friday and then hopping on a flight that night so that I can lend my words to the attendees of Arizona […]

The UFL Is Destined For Darkness

The writing was on the wall.  When it was announced earlier this year that the United Football League’s (UFL) training camp would be suspended for 30 days and its regular season games were pushed back a month, I started to wonder just how much longer the fledgling league had in it.  The UFL had been struggling for […]
