  • Sports Group of the Year: Akin Gump by Zachary Zagger
    Portfolio Media. Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th Floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] Sports Group Of The Year: Akin Gump By Zachary Zagger Law360, New York (February 6, 2017, 3:04 PM EST) -- Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP had a busy 2016 guiding the NFL to some major labor wins that confirmed the commissioner’s authority, including an arbitration decision upholding the commissioner’s new player personal conduct policy, earning the firm a spot as one of Law360’s Practice Groups of the Year. As a go-to law firm for the NFL, Akin Gump was involved in a trio of labor disputes that came to conclusion last year: Deflategate, involving New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady; a case over a suspension of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson; and a grievance over the player personal conduct policy issued by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in 2014. All three cases ended in favor of the league and Goodell, setting strong precedent for the NFL, and to some extent other professional leagues, moving forward confirming the commissioner’s authority to discipline players under the collective bargaining agreement. “Taken together all three were pretty strong endorsements of the commissioner’s authority,” Akin Gump partner Daniel L. Nash told Law360. “The reason for that is a labor law principle that essentially, the parties to a collective bargaining agreement have a right to negotiate how things are handled. In each of the cases, both the courts and the arbitrator said this is what the parties bargained for and the labor laws require that the bargain be enforced.” While the Brady and Peterson cases grabbed a number of headlines, Akin Gump was integral in guiding the league to a win in a lesser-publicized dispute, in which the players union filed a grievance over a new player personal conduct policy issued in 2014.

    FOR USE AS DESIRED 1/5/21 SUPER WILD CARD WEEKEND KICKS OFF SATURDAY The NFL’s playoff table is ready. Get ready for a six-course meal. The addition of a third Wild Card team in each conference this season and the subsequent expansion of the playoffs has resulted in a Super Wild Card Weekend of NFL action. For the first time ever, there will be three games on Saturday, January 9, and three games on Sunday, January 10, to be played at 1:05 p.m., 4:40 p.m., and 8:15 p.m. ET on each day. The postseason kicks off Saturday on the heels of the highest-scoring regular season in NFL history, packed with more points (12,692) and touchdowns (1,473) than any of the league’s previous 100 years. All told, 179 of 256 games – 70 percent – were within one score (eight points) in the fourth quarter, more games than all but one season in league annals (184 in 2016). And no lead was safe, as winning teams combined to erase deficits of 10-or-more points in 43 games, tying a single-season league record.

Briscoe, a top-three finalist for the Walter Payton Award, has thrown for a SHSU single-season record 5,003 yards which leads the nation. He also leads the nation in passing yards per game (357.4) and touchdown passes (45).
