Jared Bartie Sports Industry Co-Chair O’Melveny & Myers A nationally recognized sports attorney and Co-Chair of O’Melveny’s Sports Industry Group, Jared is named a “Dealmaker” by Variety, a “Power-Player” by SportsBusiness Journal, and “Sports Attorney of the Year” by the National Bar Association, and most recently one of the “Most Influential Black Lawyers in America” by Savoy Magazine. Jared’s career uniquely encompasses both legal and business professional sports and entertainment experience. Among his various roles he has served as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of the United States Tennis Association (USTA); General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer of the NBA Charlotte Bobcats; an executive in the National Basketball Association’s renowned Team Marketing and Business Operations group; Acting Chief Counsel of Productions at Black Entertainment Television; and General Counsel of Maxim Magazine. He represents domestic and international clients on a variety of high-profile matters, including professional sports team investments, stadium and arena transactions, prominent facility naming rights and sponsorship transactions, and complex media rights agreements. His clients have included the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Under Armour, Legends, Pac-12 Conference, USA Track & Field, USA Volleyball, Washington Convention and Sports Authority and City of Atlanta and Fulton County Recreation Authority.

David Bialek Co-Founder & CEO ReKTGlobal David Bialek serves as co-founder and CEO of ReKTGlobal. With over 25 years of experience, he has handled sales and marketing initiatives for some of the world’s largest sports and entertainment properties, including the French Open, National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, The Breeders’ Cup, numerous stadium and arena sponsorship programs, and high-profile concert tours. Recently, Dave became enamored of the bourgeoning esports and broader gaming industries. A void of “best practices” and business processes in sales and services, led him to the conclusion that he would spend the next 10 years of his professional life devoted to its growth. With the creation of ReKTGlobal, Dave and his partners have created multiple business segments, which service the various stakeholder of the esports ecosystem. In January 2018, ReKT was named as the Agency of Record for State Farm, a top 30 North American marketer. As a sports and entertainment marketing and media specialist, Dave has spearheaded the creation of multiple advertising platforms in the place-based, streaming media and sports advertising space. Bialek is credited with building two groundbreaking initiatives in collegiate sports. First, he led a sales team to create an advertising network on field goal nets in over 60 NCAA schools. “The Field Goal Net Program” remains Allstate’s tent-pole sports platform after 12 years. Second, he invented the “Basket Profile” position on NCAA and NBA basket stanchions, which is widely considered to be the most impactful signage position in all of sports. State Farm was the program’s initial and primary sponsor and remains as such today. For this latest pursuit, Dave became the recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 award in April 2009. Prior to RektGlobal, Dave served as Partner at The Legacy Agency (TLA) Sales and Founder and CEO of Skylark Marketing. Skylark merged with TLA Worldwide in September 2014, creating a corporate sales division to complement TLA’s existing talent marketing and representation businesses. Dave previously served as Director and President of ANC Sports Marketing where he built the marketing group into a leader in team and venue media sales and marketing. While at ANC, the business increased from $15MM in top line revenue to $65MM within a 7-year span. Along with creation of the Profile Basket sign, ANC ideated and developed a digital sign for advertising that is placed at the rear of the basket stanchion, which dramatically expanded the inventory of the NBA league and teams. ANC was sold in 2009 to Palladium Equity Partners for $25M and then again in 2013 to an investor group including a principal of Providence Equity. Previously, Bialek served as Senior Vice President of sales and marketing for Van Wagner, where, for over four years, he led the sales effort for Dorna USA's in-game advertising networks and managed the Sports Group’s Media and Sponsorship Sales services. In the late 1990’s, Dave founded and led sales for an Internet radio platform, eYada.com, which raised $25MM in institutional capital. He has also served as director of sales for The Golf Channel and The Marquee Group, which was acquired by SFX Sports. Kari Cohen Vice President & Deputy General Counsel BSE Global / Brooklyn Nets Kari Cohen serves as Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for BSE Global. She is responsible for negotiating and drafting a variety of agreements for the Brooklyn Nets, New York Islanders and Barclays Center, in the areas of suite licenses, ticketing, vendors, sponsorship, and programming, including event license agreements with talent such as Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, and Beyoncé.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.
