Taking a break from studying for the MPRE (Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination), which is a part of the bar exam that every future lawyer must take to become accredited. It should not be all that difficult, but it is two weeks away and I might as well get ready for it. Meanwhile, three hours south of me, the best high school baseball players in the nation are participating in the World Wood Bat Tournament. If the weather is anything down in Jupiter, FL like it is here in Gainesville, agents and scouts will be disappointed in how wet their nice new fabrics and radar guns are getting. Anyway, best of luck to the high school guys down there, and hopefully some of them think about Dynasty when their time comes. It’s homecoming weekend here at UF…let the Gator Growl! Here are some stories I missed over this past week:
NFL
- Get your learn on at San Diego State University [Dennis Green Ready To Rant In The Classroom].

MLB
- Kudos to a Gator alum who has found Oakland to be a nice home [Oakland 2B Ellis agrees to re-sign with multiyear contract]. Some think that he is being underpaid [Sandbagging Mark Ellis].
