I don’t know if you guys heard the news or not, but LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh with the Miami Heat. I’m so topical and on time, I know. Well Ohio and more specifically, Cleveland, didn’t take the news so well. There were burnings of James jerseys, hilarious albeit inappropriate letters from the owner and many more shenanigans. It has, in some circles, been compared to the old wrestling heel turn by the NWO.
Well Cleveland is taking all that anger, misguided or not, and is turning it into creativity. For this I applaud them. Whenever I try to turn anger into creativity, a hooker dies it turns into horribly bitter sounding prose. If they can continue to output their anger and feelings of loss into awesome creative projects like this, Cleveland may have just found a new fan I fully support them.
Now that Lebron has chokedpurposely thrown lost his last game of the season for the Cleveland Cavaliers the offseason attention has already begun to focus on where Lebron James will play next season. The speculation has been centering on the New York Knicks for a while but has recently begun to include the New Jersey/Bronx/Russian Nets and the Chicago Bulls. There is also a strong contingent in the media who feel Lebron will stay in Cleveland out of loyalty to Ohio. That’s quite a bit of wishful thinking, Ohio. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror recently? I’m still predicting the New York Knicks or the Nets will be bron-bron’s next destination, especially after this video reeking of desperation.

The Morning After Pill is a recap of the previous days sporting events. Certain teams and events are left out due to an extreme lack of caring and hangovers. Mostly the hangovers.
NFL: So Josh McDaniels is a super duper genius. He’s so good that he’s amicably splitting up with DC Mike Nolan, and leaving the team with it’s soon to be 5th defensive coordinator in 6 years. Nolan, in saying fuck you buddy, is coming to terms with the Miami Dolphins as their DC. San Diego fans get to look forward to three more years of this.
What? I'm beautiful, I can make fun of him.
They just signed the overachieving Turner to a 3 year extension on his contract. I guess things are looking good for KC and Oak in that division.
NBA: Oh hay, its getting to be that point of the year where strippers be running for their lives. It’s almost time for the NBA All-Star Game. The big news is that LeBron James is bailing on the event even though he stated last year that he’d do it this year. In much smaller news, wait for it… Nate Robinson is back to try and repeat as champ. I call it a small deal, because Nate is only 5’9″. You get it? He’s small. I’m so clever. In a game that sounds like it may have been interesting, Chicago got walloped by the Golden State Warriors 114-97. It was quite the team effort as the team was lead by everyone apparently. Monta Ellis had 36 points, Corey Maggette had 32 points and Andris Biedrins had an impressive 19 points. Chicago, meanwhile, just laid down and took it like Bree Olson. The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Phoenix Suns 125-188 at home last night. Rudy Gay [edit tee hee(more…)
The Morning After Pill is a daily recap of the previous days events. It’ll usually be sports, but that’s open for change. Certain teams/sporting events are left out due to a lack of caring. Or not being able to see the keyboard because of alcohol.
NFL: Andy Reid has declared that Donovan McNabb will return as starter for the Eagles in 2010. Kolb has proven he’s more than capable to handle the spot, so really the team should ship one of them out before they run into an Aaron Rodgers/Brett Favre situation. There’s been lots of hooplah about this Rooney Rule in the last couple of days. Part of the noise has been about how the Seatlle Seahawks made a mockery out of the rule by going directly after Pete Carroll and not really paying attention to minority coaches. Well now it comes out that they made an offer to Tony Dungy, with the hopes of him being their President. He turned them down, then got all pissy at them when they didn’t really try to hire a black coach. Dick.
College Football:Jim Leavitt, USF football coach who was just fired amidst allegations he hit one of his players, wants his job back. Guillaume Latendresse led the Minnesota Wild to a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins by scoring one goal and assisting on three others. There was some other stuff, but I’ll get to that in later posts today.
The Morning After Pill is our daily recap of the previous day’s sporting events. Some teams/sports are left out due to extreme lack of caring…and pure laziness. Or because gimp will start having flashbacks of some of his bad trips and end up convulsing on the floor in fetal position.
It’s me again! What better way to kick off your morning, than a healthy dose of severe personality problems? Let’s get this rollin’…
NBA: So two things that were awesome happened yesterday for the season tip-off. #1 being (of course) my Celts rollin’ over the dynamic LBJ-Shaq Attack duo in the most talked about opener. I call them my Celts, because I love KG with all of my heart. If he needed a kidney, and I was sober for like.. at least a day…I would totally give it to him. I would also consider being his vessel for bringing the next great KG into the world. I don’t care if that’s creepy. Shut up. Anyway, he made a great comeback after being forced to sit the last 25 games of the previous season with a knee injury. He put up the double-double with 13 points & 10 rebounds. Oh! and! Paul Pierce was the Celts’ leading scorer with 23 points, and 11 rebounds for the double-double. Obviously LBJ was the Cavs’ leading scorer with 38 points. Do I care? NOPE. They got KTFO! Okay. So #2 comes in the form of the greatest headline ever: Lakers Launch Title Defense With Win Over Clippers. Maybe I’m just stating the obvious here, but shouldn’t we expect the Lakers to beat the Clippers? How depressing is that for the Clippers as a non-home-opener-kind-of-home-opener? I mean…they’re still at their arena, except 97% of the people in attendance are there to see the Lakers. I’m pretty sure even when the Lakers aren’t playing there, 97% of the people in attendance are still there to see the Lakers. It’s kind of like being the “grenade” of a pair of girl friends.
The Morning After Pill is our daily recap of the previous days sporting events. Some teams/sports are left out due to extreme lack of caring or hangover. Deal with it.
NFL:
Come any closer and I'll cock punch you.
The Broncos beat the Chargers 34-23 to move to 6-0. Eddie Royal returned a punt and kick for TD.
MLB:
Look at the guy hugging him. Why does it look like he's about to punch him in the dick?
The Yankees lost last night 5-4 to the Angels in the 11th inning. Do you smell that? It’s the sweet smell of New Yorker despair.
The Morning After Pill is where we recap the previous days events in the sporting world. Certain sports/teams are left out due to an extreme lack of caring or hangovers. Sometimes it’s because we’re in jail, but that’s normally not a problem.
Due to said hangover, I’m going to do something different here today. Instead of writing down words, that you probably wont read, it’s picture time.
It might be the Roids talking but hold me.
The Phillies beat the Dodgers 8-6. Ibanez hit a 3 run HR.
It's all Obama's fault
With Limbaugh out of the picture, could Marshall Faulk take his place? The question mark makes it legit. (more…)
With the NFL season in full swing, the lesser sports are trying to get their names into the press, because face it… The NFL dominates. I’m a Yankees fan and I couldn’t care less about baseball since Week 1. And don’t even get me started on the NBA or NHL. Those are like the minor leagues of sports. They aren’t even fun to bet on. I’d rather go to a racetrack than watch a hockey game. And no offense to hockey fans… It’s just not me. I think I decided that I’m going to start calling hockey “MMA on Ice” from now on.
It’s actually sad for the MLB because they are getting down to the nitty gritty and October baseball means playoffs. That STILL can’t compete with the NFL. Why? Because everything is really boring. With no major (or interesting) division races and all the most hated teams in the lead, the MLB might as well hit TiVo the next few months and watch it later. You know, when it gets a chance. Because it just isn’t worth wasting all this time on.
