Basically everything you could want to know about the NBA's and the Boston Celtics' options regarding Jabari Bird is very well laid out here by @McCannSportsLaw:

If the Celtics waive Jabari Bird right now, they would have to pay him $1.35M--an odd result given that Bird is accused of horrific crimes. If the team instead waits for criminal justice & NBA procedures to play out, the C's may be able to void Bird's contract. More details here:

Books are written one sentence at a time. Marathons are run one step at a time. Stop overwhelming yourself with the book or the marathon, and focus on the first steps.

When a college fires a coach "with cause", it invites a breach of contract lawsuit. That almost certainly would have happened had Ohio St. fired Urban Meyer, who could have responded with protracted litigation. More on the legal reasons why OSU could have--but didn't--fire Meyer:

Consumers who purchase Madden 19 and who download the update will see that @Kaepernick7's name has been restored to a song, but that doesn't explain why his name was censored in both Madden 19 and Madden 18. More on how this might impact collusion case: https://t.co/axpM6GX399

Lawyer: Ohio State never contacted Courtney Smith https://t.co/biv2UzXFOa via @SINow ( @panish31 )

[First & Verdict ™ @FirstAndVerdict]

@McCannSportsLaw Why would they contact law enforcement? Is that standard to request copy of police report, investigate on their own?

Hard to make sense of Winston getting 3 games and Tom Brady getting 4 games (other than the--IMO weak--rationale that footballs impact game competition & so football-wise is worse), but courts would say NFLPA gave Goodell discretion to do this in CBA, even if he gets facts wrong. https://t.co/FD6nYuV2jp

The U.S Supreme Court upholding the Travel Ban could pose issues for the NBA and other leagues when players from one of the seven "banned" countries exit the U.S. and then seek re-entry. For more, see my @TheCrossover legal article on Thon Maker & the ban: https://t.co/U9kyc38khV

Several NFL teams--including the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and (after being sued) the Buffalo Bills--do not employ cheerleaders. As NFL cheerleader lawsuits mount, other teams could join this list. More on @theMMQB: https://t.co/chVBeMvpaW

Puma reportedly signing Marvin Bagley--who would become the 1st NBA player to sign with Puma since 1998--fits Skechers' legal argument that more sneaker companies would compete for stars if there was less corruption in hoops.

Interesting legal Q: Do prosecutors have to share all the evidence they have that favors the defense, or can they withhold evidence if it probably won't change the trial's outcome? As @John_Greabe & Justin Murray write in the @HarvLRev, courts are divided: https://t.co/bGb7CEvDG1
