A bit different from the normal fare. This is the theme from the musical Chess, performed by Benny Andersson.

Remember Gene Hackman's wife died seven day before him of hantavirus. He died of of starvation and dehydration because she was no longer caring for him. So did their poor dog, who was crated. But yeah, hanta viruses are scary. We have one in Sweden, which we call "sorkfeber" (vole fever). It's ...

Trump wanted to kick Iran out of the tournament and suggested letting Italy have their slot. Italy replied that that's not how it works. FIFA has confirmed that all teams that have qualified, including Iran, are going to play. Not sure how they are going to solve that one. Including facilitating ...

Niklas Edin retires.
8 World Champiosnhip golds, 8 European Championship golds, three Olympic medals, one of them gold.

We usually have almost exclusively NHL players, but in the recent ...

Now that Björklöven has reached the SHL we're in for an interesting Silly Season! It seems like Lucas Wallmark is coming home. 187 NHL games, mostly for Carolina. Has spent the last three years in the Swiss National League, playing for Fribourg-Gotteron. They are right now facing Davos in the final a ...
