ESPN-NHL Deal in Meltdown

31 05 2005

It is at least a bit gratifying knowing that because everyone was so greedy that now no one is going to get anything. In my mind, hockey is never going to be the same… and that’s really sad.

“it didn’t make sense for ESPN to spend $60 million when there is still no labor agreement.”

touché.

    YVR > SJC - kind of a zany concept but it works relatively well, not a great boxing movie but not too bad.

  • The Guard (2011) 8/10

    This movie came well recommended to me and it was a good, strange and profanity laced comedy. The main character was profound, confusing and yet remarkably consistent and believable. Some good lines in there and a nice change of pace from an action movie loaded with action to this one which seems to try to avoid it at every turn.

    When a movie with a plot as benign as MLB drafting and trading using statistics instead of scouting intuition is this entertaining, you know they did something right. Great story that had both Heidi and I riveted to a sport that we really know and care very little about.

    MSP > YVR - Solid acting in this action-drama, decent story, pretty good fight scenes and sympathetic characters. All in all, nicely done.

    Ugh, this Christian movie was not worth watching. While it followed the plot of the Prodigal Son story closely, it seemed to lack all the great details that we had been learning about in the Prodigal God book study that we were going through. The acting was poor, most of the characters were poorly developed and the dialog was very local (to Texas) and didn't sound very natural to my Canadian ears.

Shh, I haven’t told Heidi yet

10 05 2005

I’m going to surprise Heidi as long as she doesn’t check my webpage (which she certainly won’t) that I got her a new iPod shuffle. I’m of course now interested in accessorizing with a much needed FM transmitter (to maybe replace the big boy) and a case. So many ways to burn through money…
