The Morning After Pill is a daily recap of the previous days events from the sporting world. Certain teams and entire sports are left out due to an extreme lack of caring or crippling hangovers. It’s probably the hangovers though, and they might not even be crippling. That’s how we roll. Send tips to tips@ thegallyblog.com
NFL: OMG! The NFL is going to have an open air, cold weather Super Bowl. The 2014 Super Bowl has been awarded to: the NY Giants/NY Jets, who with one of the newer NFL traditions, built a new $1.6 billion stadium and were rewarded with a Super Bowl. Blowing tax payer money has never been so enticing. Well, unless you’re Goldman Sachs. That’s a zing you see.
NHL: There was no hockey last night as the Stanley Cup Finals matchup between The Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago Blackhawks doesn’t start until Saturday. Yeah, 5 days between games. Nice move Bettman.

So why then are we talking about Hockey? Well, did you think we were going to waste precious space with Basketball? Hahahahahahahahah. Oh yeah, Canadian hero and Detroit legend, Steve Yzerman, has been named the new GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Good luck Stevie, you’re going to need it.
MLB: Even though Steve Phillips, *cough*douche*cough* thinks that he’d trade Steven Strasburg for Roy Oswalt straight up, and Oswalt has asked for a trade, the Astros have no intention of trading him. Yet. Tough luck Dodgers fans. Carl Crawford was ejected from the game yesterday for trash talking. Seriously, here’s the words right out of his mouth, “It went back and forth. He didn’t want to back down, and I definitely wasn’t going to lose a trash-talking contest.” That guy who didn’t want to back down, the umpire. Also tossed for arguing with the ump, manager Joe Maddon. Sigh. Will athletes ever learn that arguing with the ref/ump/judge/whomever does absolutely no good? The ump is never going to back down in public like that. Never. In a clear sign that we’ve all died and are on the “Lost” style purgatory island, the Mets won last night. Over the Phillies. By a 9 runs. In a shutout. Having gave up 9 hits. I guess this is my sign to marry Blake Lively, as clearly miracles do happen.

Alright folks, thanks for your patronage this week. We’ll be back Monday, though if someone is not hungover tomorrow, who knows?
Fuck ‘em Up Friday is a weekly post that occurs – you guessed it – every Friday. Bringing you some of the best knockouts, submissions, and knockers that the inter-webs have to offer. It’s basically my way of glorifying violence, as well as giving in to the urges of my pre-pubescent inner child. Yeah, that’s how we roll.
Today, much like last week, we’re going to start with Bellator. That’s right, last night was Bellator 19. I hope that they keep have good events and great videos because it makes this post that much easier. This week’s feature video is a fight between Don Hornbuckle and Steve Carl. Sadly, it is not a knockout but I have one of those coming up in a bit. For the first while, it looks like Carl has the advantage but that quickly changes. Hornbuckle get’s a hold of Carl’s arm and doesn’t let go. When the Kimura submission hold is finally over, you’re actually kind of surprised that he gives Steve his arm back. All and all, it was pretty nice of him to give it back, but really, what would you do with an extra arm? Walk around and beat people over the head with it? I think that’d get boring after a while.
Can you feel that? It’s springtime and love is in the air man. Soon it will be summer which brings the joys of suntans, drinking on patios, skimpy clothing and making love knocking boots. Do the kids still say that? I’m so out of touch. Anyways, not that it has to be summer for sexin’ but you get my point. That is unless you’re a sports fan. Oh sure, some of you might be getting action but face it, us in the blogging demographic are often vagina kryptonite. Doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t get an A for effort though. Well yet another poll has come out with the results being that a fanbase would give up sex for a year just to win a championship.
In a poll conducted Tuesday by Team 1040 Radio, 40 per cent of Vancouver Canucks fans polled said they would give up sex for a year if the team won the Stanley Cup. The poll was a crossover from a recent English poll that suggested that 12 per cent of soccer fans would give up sex for a year if the Three Lions won the World Cup. -The Canuck Way
This all comes on the heels of 51% of British men saying they’d take a pass on nailing Cheryl Cole, if it meant that they were victorious in the World Cup. What the hell is wrong with sports fans? Sure, my teams have all won championships in my lifetime, but come on. I get the Cherly Cole thing, because that would be a one time deal. What, you think I’m going to win her over with my 30 second prowess in the sack? Having said that though, a year? Do they not know how long that is? It’s 525,600 minutes for crying out loud. Think about that the next time you’re counting down the minutes left at work.
And for your pleasure, a Cheryl Cole gallery below. (more…)

Ice Cube-It was a good day. Today was a good day, I got some stuff off my chest that I really needed to. It may have been too late, but you gotta fight for the good stuff right?

KSK: It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for the KSK sex and fantasy football mailbag. Todays version is by Punter as Ufford is in Louisiana getting his drink on.

Indescribably awesome. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song as sung by Gandalf the Grey. Hot Hot Japan Hot: Just click the link. Seriously.

Alright folks I’m out for the day. Tomorrow we have some good stuff on deck and I’ll be making my debut at With Leather as well. Cheers.

NFL: So just like everyone else in the world, Vikings coach Brad Childress has no idea whether Brett Favre is going to retire or even have surgury on his “injured” ankle. It’s all good though, he wants us to know that him and Favre have been texting each other. Cool beans man, maybe now they can take it to the next step and go down to the soda shoppe and maybe, just maybe, hold hands.
NBA: The Kobe Bryant rape face was back in action last night and it wasn’t just any old edition, it was the prom night version. While the Suns double teamed him to prevent major damage in only kind of helped. Though he was held to 21 points he had 13 assists, many of which went to Pau Gasol who had 29 points. Jason Richardson had 27 points to help the Suns to a 112-124 loss. This was the Lakers 8th straight win and 10th overall at home.
NHL: Again due to Gary Bettman’s incompetence, there was no Hockey last night. Sure there are only two series left playing, but why play them back to back on the same night so the East coast doesn’t stay up to watch the Western Conference matchup? Dumbass.

Hey guys, did you know the NBA playoffs are going on right now? I barely did and I’m a lofty sports blogger, derp. Well, the NBA has a new commercial series that seems very similar to a NHL campaign. Simmons would go all conspiracy theorist here with his Gary Bettman is a plant crap, but I’m not going to go in that direction. I’m guessing they saw the good press the NHL got for it’s past ad campaigns, and its current History Will Be Made campaign and paid the same ad agency to do something similar. I could be wrong though, but I don’t have the time or skill to do any research. Well, DJ Steve Porter saw some of these commercials and did what he does best, autotune them and turn them into songs.
