Trend Watch: Future Pro Athletes Signing Faux Contracts With Family Members Top
Like the rest of the world, I was touched to read about the contract that T.J. Fredette asked his little brother Jimmer to sign in 2007, near the end of Fredette's junior year of high school. For those of you who have been in trial for the last two years or so, Jimmer Fredette is a basketball phenom who was just selected 10th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft and who will soon be playing for the Sacramento Kings. The contract states that "I James T. Fredette agree on this day, Jan 27, 2007 to do the work and make the necessary sacrifices to be able to reach my ultimate goal of playing in the NBA." The Jimmer-T.J. contract is pinned on the wall above Jimmer's childhood bed.

I had moved on from the cute Jimmer story when I saw today that as Derek Jeter closes in on his 3,000th hit as a Major League Baseball player, one of his sponsors, Brand Jordan, has introduced its new "DJ3K Collection" that features a pair of...

Can my county and the others in Southern California secede from the state and form our own state of South California? Answer: You can try but it looks like this will not be easy. And make sure you line up a water supply before you pull the trigger on this. (The Volokh Conspiracy, California Dreamin' of Secession) 2) Question: Is this happening? Are my three friends and I actually being carjacked by an octogenarian woman with a large handgun? Answer: Sometimes grannies will pull out a handgun and order a car full of young men to get out of their car because the granny wrongly thinks it his her own car that the men are seated in. Sorry, sonny! (Legal Antics, A Senior Moment) 3) Question: Why is it so hot in my house? Yes, it is summer here in Chicago but this is ridiculous! Answer: Are you in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago? If so, go take a look at where...
