Morning After Pill

The Morning After Pill is where we recap the previous days events. Some sports and teams are left out due to lack of caring.

NHL: Quite possibly the most important man ever involved with the sport of Hockey, Wayne Gretzky, stepped down as coach of the Phoenix Coyotes. Gretzky was a partial owner of the team, and as part of his income with the team his salary was $8.5 million a year. Yeah, he made College Football coaches look like poor schmucks. But the team is in Bankruptcy court in a dirty fight for control of the team. He realized that he wouldn’t be sticking around with either ownership group, so he decided to step down so the team would maintain some sort of structure. Peter Forsberg scored a goal in his comeback game with Modo. As expected he was rusty, so I guess we should take him out back and give him the Old Yeller treatment.

NFL: Donovan MacNabb is still nursing a broken rib and is unlikely to play this weekend. In related but not tied together news, Mike Vick will make his return to the NFL this week. As I’ve always said, the world just doesn’t give rich people enough chances. Adrian Peterson has a wonky back, but that wont keep him out of the Vikings home opener vs. the 49ers. Although this just reinforces Drew’s belief that Purple Jesus is going to break his back.

I wonder if that's on purpose?

Women’s Golf: Natalie Gulbis shot 8 strokes back of the leader at the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Open. The leader after one round is Sophie Gustafson who shot a round of -7. Do you care? No, and neither do I. I just wanted an excuse to post that picture.

College Football: The Southern Carolina Gamecocks played host to the Mississippi “Ole Miss” Rebels in a Nationally televised SEC matchup. The over/under was set at something like 53, and takers of the under were the big winners as SC beat Ole Miss 16-10. It was a decently entertaining game, a defensive battle that SC won. They ground down the clock, and made Jevan Snead look very much like Jamarcus Russell as he completed only 7-21 attempts for 107 yards. I enjoyed the game, but I was bored and work was slow.

On Deck

A slight preview of what’s going on tongiht in the world of sports and entertainment.

Top Chef Masters: (Bravo) A new take on the show where 4 Master chefs compete per episode to move on. It’s quite good, and even though Padma isn’t on it any more Kelly Choi is a suitable replacement. Tonight features Wylie Dufresne, Suzanne Tracht, Graham Elliot Bowle and Elizabeth Falkner
I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here: (NBC) How brain dead is America that this show got made, several times at that, and is still on the air. If you needed a reason to drink, this is it.
Your Worst Animal Nightmares: Perfect Prey/Horror Down Under: (Animal Planet) I have no idea what this show is or what it’s about, but with a title like that, how could you not watch it?

MLS: D.C. United at Seattle, 10pm, ESPN2- Two words. That’s it, those were the two words. I have nothing insightful to say about this game.
Yankees vs. Nationals: I know what you’re thinking,”but the nationals are going to get raped because they’re manly enough to attract mr. A-Rod.” While that’s true, this is a make or break game for Chien-Ming Wang to prove he belongs in the rotation. He’s 0-4 with a 14.34ERA. If you’re a Nationals fan, you’ve got to like those odds.
