Quiet Times

Well, there hasn't been too much NHL news of late.  Apparently the Canucks are interested in Vermette.  I am conflicted.  The guy has all the talent in the world, a good attitude, but marginal finishing ability. Trading him for a solid, young, big, offensive defenseman might not be a bad deal.  But that's exactly when the guy breaks out. There's also no Tiger right now, so the golf world is quiet. I still hit golf channel but the 'regular' sports sources don't care about golf if Tiger ain't playing or Daly ain't drinking. There have been some good MMA fights lately.  Fedor Emelianenko and Anderson Silva showed why they are the considered the best fighters in the world by destroying their opponents. I also caught some of the recent Dream 5 tournament. It was great. The fighting style is more technical. Either kickboxing or submission based dudes squaring off, very few ground-and-pound wrestler types. Also, the fighter walk-ins are quite a production and Bas Rutten is the John Madden of MMA announcers. To make things further quiet, Alisia took the kids to see her family.  So, I saw The Dark Knight. Aptly titled.  It's a dark movie, but exactly what I expected and fully enjoyed. By far one of the best interpretations and adaptions of Batman and comic books in general to the big screen. That's all the misc ramblings I have for now.
