The Fall Semester is wrapping up. At the gym a couple of days ago, someone asked me how it feels to almost be done with law school. I never really thought about that. I have almost been through 6 1/2 years of higher education. Am I ready to leave academia? Never. So I don’t really see this as the final countdown. Anyway, since the semester is almost over, that means that it is crunch-time regarding exams. Fortunately, I only have two actual exams during the examination period. Unfortunately, I have whopping papers due in my other classes that count for my final grade. Thus, I will be pretty occupied over the next couple of weeks. I can’t wait to see part of my family next week for Thanksgiving. Per the yearly tradition, they will be traveling up to Gainesville for quite a feast. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
Baseball

- Are the Giants upset that Tim Lincecum won his second consecutive Cy Young Award? [It’s Good News . . . No Wait, It’s Bad News]
- You know all these free agents by their last names alone, but where will they be playing next year? [Baseball shifts into shopping mode]
Football
- Outside of QBs, DEs are the big cash cows [Under the Cap: Top Ten Defensive Ends].
- Slashing of NFL coach pensions may have assistant coaches looking to work in college football [NFL coaches eyeing college jobs].
