Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (3/9/2012)

Football-heavy Friday Wrap-Up this week.  Chicago was a lot of fun last weekend.  I will be heading out to Las Vegas this coming Wednesday evening and will be out there for roughly five nights.  The trip has a mixed purpose; both business and pleasure.  The press recently seems quite preoccupied with the New Orleans Saints “bountygate” matter and pondering where Peyton Manning will play in 2012.  As a Miami Dolphins fan, I certainly would not vote against splurging on signing the prolific veteran.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
