Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up

New Years Eve is right around the corner.  If you will be down in South Beach, have clients down in SoBe, or want to show a potential client a good time, I suggest you send them to the premier party on the beach this year.  It will be going down at the various clubs at the Fontainebleau Hotel.  And I can get you some pretty sweet deals.  Hopefully I make it to December 31.  Today was my first final exam of 2L life.  It is over.  Four more to go, all squeezed in to one week.  So help me G-d.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Golf

• A troubling economy touches the links [PGA Tour purses likely to flatten].

College Football

• A cool 2.2 mil per year [Gundy rewarded with seven-year, $15.7 million deal].
• The Gator Nation will definitely miss Dan Mullen [Mississippi State hires Florida coordinator as coach].

Baseball

• Albert Irby has indictment dropped, but still must pay $ to Ray Lankford [Deal ends agent's case].
• A rise of 3.6% is a cause for concern? [MLB salary increase lowest since '04]
• Investing in Brazil…next up, Panama? [Rays Invest in Brazil. What Took So Long?].

NFL

• Even the NFL is not immune [NFL laying off about 150].
• While the NFL and the rest of the economy is suffering, the NFLPA is doing just fine [NFLPA earns a record $35 million].
