ED WEISS, Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy, & General Counsel, Fenway Sports Group Ed Weiss was named General Counsel of Fenway Sports Group (“FSG”) in September 2009. In that capacity, Weiss has oversight of all legal matters for the companies in FSG’s portfolio, including the Boston Red Sox, New England Sports Network (NESN), Fenway Sports Management (FSM) and the Liverpool Football Club of the English Premier League (acquired in 2010); he maintains offices both at Fenway Park and at NESN’s headquarters. At the close of 2012, Weiss was also named Executive Vice President for Corporate Strategy, to reflect his broader business-related responsibilities within FSG. Previously, Weiss had been Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Time Warner Inc. where he had been for over a decade. Weiss was responsible for all litigation, regulatory, and intellectual property issues across the company worldwide. He also handled Time Warner’s significant antitrust issues, including any transaction and merger clearances, served as a key advisor on business and intellectual property issues related to digital content distribution, and maintained oversight of all FCC legal issues.

Before joining Time Warner, Weiss served as a commercial litigator at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine and Moore in New York City, NY, where he worked on many litigation and antitrust counseling matters. Immediately following law school, he served as a law clerk to the Honorable Jay C. Waldman, a federal judge in Philadelphia, PA, assisting with a wide variety of criminal and civil matters and participating in a number of jury trials. A native of Norwood, MA, Weiss graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1988, concentrating in History and Economics, and received his J.D. cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1991. At Penn Law, he was a member of the Law Review and served as its Managing Editor. During law school, he was a law clerk with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius in Philadelphia. He is currently a board member of Greater Boston Legal Services and the Roger Williams University Law School and is a trustee of Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood (his alma mater) and the Newton Country Day School in Newton (where his two daughters attend). Weiss resides in Weston, MA, with his wife, Susan, daughters, Nina (15) and Elizabeth (13), and son, Timmy (10). .

The Boston Red Sox Thursday, April 1, 2021 * The Boston Globe With new faces, Red Sox begin quest to start anew, and put 2020 in the distance Alex Speier Opening Day typically offers the promise of renewal. Yet for the Red Sox, the first game of the 2021 season offers something more — the long-awaited opportunity for the franchise to begin officially distancing itself from the wreckage of the 2020 campaign. An active offseason represented a potential start to that undertaking. The team that is introduced prior to Thursday’s 2:10 p.m. contest against the Orioles will be drastically different from the one that last played in front of fans on Sept. 29, 2019 — a game punctuated by Mookie Betts diving across the plate in an extra- innings walkoff victory over Baltimore – and the one that opened last year’s fan-less, ill-fated, last-place slog through a compressed season. Many of the most recognizable faces in recent franchise history are now gone. The last time a home opener had fans in attendance, Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., Andrew Benintendi, David Price, and Dustin Pedroia all collected their rings. Now, Betts and Price are Dodgers, Benintendi is a Royal, Bradley a Brewer, and Pedroia a retired dad. Still, while much has changed with those departures and the additions of players such as new leadoff hitter Kiké Hernández, outfielder Hunter Renfroe, starter Garrett Richards and late-innings contributor and Northeastern alum Adam Ottavino, there is some sense of reconnection to a time that predates the past 18 tumultuous months.
