Kessler is More



On Wednesday afternoon, I was cutting through traffic en route to Penn 
Station for a quickie jaunt down to Washington. My great friend Tammy 
Haddad, who not infrequently cameos in this email, was hosting her annual 
A.I. Honors Dinner, the tentpole event of her Washington A.I. Network. I was 
excited to kibbitzin a room with administration officials, Washington 
swells, senators, and political people on each side of the revolving door. 
No one puts together a room quite like Tammy, and this would be no 
different: my buddies Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason and Sen. Mike Rounds 
would be there; Sen. Mark Warner, Dr. Oz, Mr. Wonderful, and Army Secretary 
Dan Driscoll, too. I was excited to break bread alongside tablemates Mayor 
Bowser and former CFPB director Rohit Chopra.

As I was stepping out of my Uber, however, I saw a message from my partner 
Eriq Garder, who reported that he’d just landed an interview with 
superlawyer Jeffrey Kessler, the co-chairman of Winston Taylor. Kessler has 
had one of the more exalted careers in the history of the modern bar. As a 
young attorney at Weil Gotshal & Manges, he successfully defended the 
Japanese conglomerate Matsushita before the Supreme Court. Years later, he 
effectively created the modern free agency system in the NFL while defending 
Freeman McNeil against the Shield.

From there, he built lasting relationships with players’ associations across 
various leagues and became one of the most important figures in the last 
quarter century of sports that you’ve probably never heard of—and 
eventually, one of the biggest players in media whose name you might not 
recognize at first blush. As Eriq has fastidiously chronicled, Kessler 
recently became the legal hero of the Live Nation monopolization trial; now, 
he was representing Paramount–WBD in a case against many of the state A.G.s 
that had been his clients. Eriq was excited to ask him why he had gone from 
the plaintiff side of antitrust to defending a megamerger that he might once 
have fought. This update prompted me to break out in an ear-to-ear smile.

I know firsthand how persuasively Kessler can argue his point. More than 25 
years ago, I got to know Jeff when I was an undersized and not particularly 
fast linebacker and running back on a ~.500 Fieldston football team helmed 
by a dynamic quarterback named Andrew Kessler. This was a decade after the 
McNeil case, and we all vaguely knew that Kess’s father was involved in pro 
sports in a legally adjacent capacity, but we were too young and naive to 
fully grasp the sort of influence he was establishing. Instead, he was 
familiar to us as the dad who attended unbearably hot preseason practices 
and brought the sandwiches that we’d eat in the locker room after the games. 
After long road trips to schools in Connecticut or out on Long Island, we’d 
see him already set up in the parking lot, often reading the Times sports 
section hours before kickoff.

All I really knew about Jeff was that he’d gone to Columbia, a school I had 
fancied for myself even though my grades weren’t quite there, and I was sure 
that they rejected kids who’d scored 1600 on their boards. But I was a 
hustler, even as a teenager, and so I asked Kess one night if his dad might 
write me a letter of recommendation. Shortly afterward, he gave me the green 
light to reach out and make the ask myself.

I remember picking up the landline at our apartment and dialing their home 
number. Regina, his wife and one of those great moms who always seemed to 
have a stuffed pantry when we’d swing by their house after practice, picked 
up the phone and detected the anxiety in my voice. She then passed me along 
with a tone of reassurance.

In a brief conversation, Jeff asked me about my grades and SAT scores, 
extracurriculars outside of sports, etcetera. I suggested that my grades 
were good, outside of a rogue C- in a math class that had proved over my 
head—but, yes, I might need a little help selling my candidacy to a 
bare-knuckled admissions committee. He got it, promised nothing, and made a 
quick, polite joke about how it was the least he could do for someone who 
had blocked for his son. (I was a terrible blocking back… Kess got sacked 
aplenty in those years. He knew this as well as I did, but I appreciated the 
gesture.) Anyway, I was grateful for his time, but I also worried that I’d 
enlisted a busy person on a fool’s errand. It was only months later, when my 
father presented me with a girthy white envelope that enclosed my acceptance 
letter, that I realized the truth: no one, not even Columbia, could argue 
with Jeffrey Kessler.

If you have a moment this weekend, I encourage you to sit down and read Eriq’s 
brilliant piece, Ellison’s Legal Gladiator Is Ready For War. Indeed, Kessler 
articulates in surgical detail how the combination of Warners and Paramount 
is a necessity for the future of the entertainment and streaming landscape, 
not a detriment. The conversation diverges into a number of fascinating and 
newsy areas, including many that are all the rage nowadays at 
Puck—particularly the CBS News and CNN of it all. (And, by the way, if this 
is your current obsession, allow me to also turn your attention to Dylan 
Byers’s latest heartstopper, Lesley Stahl & The ‘60 Minutes’ Guys are 
Staying. Also, stay tuned for our partner Bill Cohan’s spicy interview with 
Lesley tomorrow.)

In many ways, Kessler is near the nerve center of many of the great stories 
of our time. I expect you’ll see a lot more of him in Puck.





Have a great weekend,
Jon

lasting relationships with players=E2=80=99 associations across various =
leagues and
became one of the most important figures in the last quarter century of =
sports that you=E2=80=99ve probably never heard of=E2=80=94and =
eventually, one of the biggest players in media whose name you might not =
recognize at first blush. As Eriq has fastidiously chronicled, Kessler =
recently became the legal hero of the Live Nation monopolization trial; =
now, he was representing Paramount=E2=80=93WBD in a case against many of =
the state A.G.s that had been his clients. Eriq was excited to ask him =
why he had gone from the
plaintiff side of antitrust to defending a megamerger that he might once =
have fought. This update prompted me to break out in an ear-to-ear =
smile.<br/><br/>I know <em>firsthand</em> how persuasively Kessler can =
argue his point. More than 25 years ago, I got to know Jeff when I was =
an undersized and not particularly fast linebacker and running back on a =
~.500 Fieldston football team helmed by a dynamic quarterback named =
<strong>Andrew Kessler</strong>. This was a decade after the McNeil =
case, and
we all vaguely knew that Kess=E2=80=99s father was involved in pro =
sports in a legally adjacent capacity, but we were too young and naive =
to fully grasp the sort of influence he was establishing. Instead, he =
was familiar to us as the dad who attended unbearably hot preseason =
practices and brought the sandwiches that we=E2=80=99d eat in the locker =
room after the games. After long road trips to schools in Connecticut or =
out on Long Island, we=E2=80=99d see him already set up in the parking =
lot, often reading the
<em>Times </em>sports section hours before kickoff.<br/><br/>All I =
really knew about Jeff was that he=E2=80=99d gone to Columbia, a school =
I had fancied for myself even though my grades weren=E2=80=99t <em>quite =
</em>there, and I was sure that they rejected kids who=E2=80=99d scored =
1600 on their boards. But I was a hustler, even as a teenager, and so I =
asked Kess one night if his dad might write me a letter of =
recommendation. Shortly afterward, he gave me the green light to reach =
out and make the ask myself.<br/><br/>I
remember picking up the landline at our apartment and dialing their home =
number. <strong>Regina</strong>, his wife and one of those great moms =
who always seemed to have a stuffed pantry when we=E2=80=99d swing by =
their house after practice, picked up the phone and detected the anxiety =
in my voice. She then passed me along with a tone of =
reassurance.<br/><br/>In a brief conversation, Jeff asked me about my =
grades and SAT scores, extracurriculars outside of sports, etcetera. I =
suggested that my grades were
good, outside of a rogue C- in a math class that had proved over my =
head=E2=80=94but, yes, I might need a little help selling my candidacy =
to a bare-knuckled admissions committee. He got it, promised nothing, =
and made a quick, polite joke about how it was the least he could do for =
someone who had blocked for his son. (I was a terrible blocking =
back=E2=80=A6 Kess got sacked aplenty in those years. He knew this as =
well as I did, but I appreciated the gesture.) Anyway, I was grateful =
for his time, but I also
worried that I=E2=80=99d enlisted a busy person on a fool=E2=80=99s =
errand. It was only months later, when my father presented me with a =
girthy white envelope that enclosed my acceptance letter, that I =
realized the truth: no one, not even Columbia, could argue with Jeffrey =
Kessler.<br/><br/>If you have a moment this weekend, I encourage you to =
sit down and read Eriq=E2=80=99s brilliant piece, <a =
