Garret Rank, Elmira native reffed first NHL game
Elmira’s Garrett Rank officiated his first NHL game last week in Buffalo. The 27-year-old has risen the ranks through stints in the Ontario Hockey League and American Hockey League. Good weekend for the Kitchener Rangers pulling out wins against the Oshawa Generals and the Windsor Spitfires. The team sits in seventh in the West with a six point lead on the Saginaw Spirit. Super Bowl 49 is set. The defending champs, Seattle Seahawks, rallied to beat the Green Bay Packers to book their ticket to the big game, while the New England Patriots pummelled the Indianapolis Colts. The NFL is looking into the apparent use of overly deflated footballs by the Patriots during their win.
1:30 – Watching Grown-ups 2
Tim Batt, podcast, Worst Idea of all Time
They’re calling it the Worst Idea of All Time…and you can listen to their podcast. Every Monday, two New Zealanders wake up at 9 AM to watch the Adam Sandler ensemble comedy Grown Ups 2. After every viewing, Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt talk about the experience on a podcast, appropriately entitled The Worst Idea of All Time. They are almost at their goal of watching this movie every week for a whole year. They say ‘what started out as 30-minute long discussions about the film’s comedic pitfalls and plot holes turned into extended bouts of maniacal laughter, existential reflections, and self-loathing.’
