    The burning of the bridges thing kind of baffles me in this day and age. I have seen newspapers fire sports reporters when they were on vacation, fire some the day they return from vacation (oh, pardon me, lay them off), decimate departments and when it's time for me to leave on my own, I should give two weeks notice and be a good soldier? I should resist writing a piece like this gutsy soul did? Perhaps this person is going to law school now and doesn't give a flip about burning a bridge. I respect the author.

    Oh, Freddie. If you're gonna rip your paper, at least come with some ammunition. Not slinging FIU pebbles.

    That last part is quite possibly the funniest thing that will be posted on SJ all week.

    I guess this story has a happy ending. Pete is back blogging ... for FIUSports.com, the school's official website

    I'm sure the Typepad blog pays for a nice 20-square-foot room at the Y.
