That said, the NFL aspect to it is very overrated. That work is, as you would expect, very hard to get. And the vast majority of it has very little to do with football. Helping the Denver Broncos with financing and land use issues with their new stadium isn't really that much different (from the lawyer's perspective) than doing a big real estate deal for any large corporate client.
The "watching Derrick Thomas play" assignment was notable in part because it was so rare.

Yeah. I could imagine that. Most of the NFL work would likely be quite dull. I would also imagine that the NFL could be a difficult client because, well, they're the NFL. At least that's the approach they seem to take in many other avenues of their business.
That's good to know about Covington. My big DC firm days are well behind me at this point, though the recent pay raises are really, really tempting.
