Canada is not the same without Saskatchewan's favorite son, Gordie Howe.



I am sure he is having a game of shiny right now with the rocket and Beliveau. This song is for Gordie.

How very sad..



This was the topic of conversation at work today.

Even if the sport of boxing or mixed martial arts admitted that 20 years of competing in those sports will cause brain injury, I have no doubt young men would still pursue those "sports".

Boxers often end up suffering more head complications in their careers than when compared with MMA fighters because the bigger oz gloves have more padding and therefore more sustained hits, whereas with the lighter gloves in MMA the fighter gets KO'd and it's all over.

Anton Yelchin, known for roles in "Star Trek" and "Alpha Dog," died early Sunday morning in a freak accident, a spokeswoman confirmed to Variety. He was 27.



"Actor Anton Yelchin was killed in a fatal traffic collision early this morning," said a statement from his representative. "His family requests you respect their privacy at this time."



The LAPD said he was pinned by his own car at his Studio City home. Friends apparently became concerned when Yelchin did not show up for a band performance. They found him at his home pinned between his car and a brick mailbox pillar.



"It appears he had exited his car and was behind it when the vehicle rolled down a steep driveway," the LAPD said in a statement.



Police reportedly told TMZ that the engine was still running when he was found, and that his car was in neutral. It's not clear why he got out of his car with the engine running.
