Are you ready for the 5th edition of “Jewish Major Leaguers” baseball cards? I hope I get Ian Kinsler’s shayna punim! Did you know that Long Island University’s basketball team sacrificed competing in the 1936 Olympics because of Hitler’s persecution of Jews? Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur may prevent Jewish NY Jets fans from going to the team’s big games against the Patriots and Titans. I signed up for Summer and Fall classes this week (I will be in Gainesville this Summer instead of back down in South Florida). Only one year left…it’s kind of weird to think that I will soon be a 3L in my 7th year in Gainesville, FL. Anyway, I got some pretty awesome classes (finally!) for Summer and Fall. During Summer, I will be taking Business Organizations and Analysis & Drafting of Intellectual Property Transactions. In Fall, I am enrolled in the Sports Law Seminar, Media Law, 1st Amendment Law, Negotiation & Mediation, and Law Practice Management. I am actually excited to take each and every one of those classes. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

- Good news for our friends at SB Nation, and good news for the entire blogging community! [SB Nation Scores A Link Deal With The NHL].

- Add one more to Career Sports & Entertainment’s NCAA basketball coach client list [Thomas' next stop: FIU, as coach].
