Cooped Congratulations
Congratulations to Jeff Cooper at Cooped Up for a great year of blogging. Professor Cooper is a daily read for me (even though he doesn't always update daily), and I would certainly miss his measured and well-written opinions on everything from points of law to the state of contemporary culture. He's also quite fascinated with some sport (baseball, I think), and with wine, but you can just skip those posts if you want—Professor Cooper won't mind. ;-)
Question: What's up w/lawyers and sports? Is it just me, or are a high percentage of lawyers fairly intensely interested in some sport or another? And if it's not just me, then what's the connection between law and sports? Is it just something to talk about to take the mind off of law, or what?

Competition. It's about the competition--it's in our blood. That, plus baseball, at least, has lots of overlap with the developments in American law. See, for example, the famous Penn Law Review article, "The Common Law Origins of the Infield Fly Rule."
Your post is very kind--I really appreciate it.
