We love Charles Barkley and we don’t care who knows.
Not only is he one of the greatest rebounders EVER for his size, but the Round Mound of Rebound is more often than not the best part of an otherwise bor-ring TNT production.
We are considering creating a “Sir Charles” category and posting about Mr. Barkley on a more frequent basis - like we said, we love Charles Barkley. Let us know what you think.
Have a great weekend.
If you are considering going to Law School anytime in the future (or not and you are just looking to read a witty article about law school selections) you should check out this article by Clay Travis, a former attorney now writing for CBS Sports. I’m not quite sure how that transition works, but would love to hear more about it.
ClayNation: Looking for law school? Study this precedent
Clay also wrote a great book last year on football in the Southeastern Conference, which also happens to be the greatest sports conference in all the land. A link to the book, entitled “Dixieland Delight: A Football Season on the Road in the Southeastern Conference” can be found below.

Clay’s bio is also pretty funny, so we have posted a link to it here - BIO.
One of our favorite bloggers (who doubles as a law professor) has recently won the 2008 Rutter Award for Excellence in Teaching, which is presented annually to a UCLA School of Law professor who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to teaching.
Not only do we enjoy Professor Bainbridge’s blog (www.professorbainbridge.com), but we also REALLY like how he completely bashes the Socratic method as a teaching tool in his acceptance speech. The consensus over at Chillable Hours is that the Socratic method does more harm than good and basically just scares the crap out first year law students who are already stressed out beyond belief.
In addition to giving kudos to Professor Bainbridge for the award, we want to thank him for saying what he did when a large number of his co-workers use a VERY Socratic method of teaching.
Please feel free to forward this on to any of your professors who continue to make you put a name placard in front of you each day during their “lectures” and/or who don’t appreciate how limiting a professor who is super-Socratic can be to their students.
Professor Bainbridge’s speech is below…
