Sorry for the abbreviated Last Call today, but I’ve not been by my computer and will be away all night. Perhaps one of the other site authors will add to this tonight. Anyways, you all know what to do here.

The Wilderness Downtown: Whether you like The Arcade Fire or not, this is pretty cool. Also a nice demonstration of HTML5 which is the future of the Internet

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
NHL: No Hockey again last night, or for that matter tonight. Thanks Gary.
NFL: It’s officially a sad day. The best NFL news I could wrangle up without putting in any effort is that six of the Browns starters are skipping OTA’s in contract disputes. Suck it up guys. You play for the Browns. No one else in the NFL wants you. Basically, y’all are fucked.
NBA:The Celtics magically lost last night against the Magic, 113-92
Referee, Joey Crawford, called a shaky game and ejected Glen Davis. Many people were outraged and Simmons was, of course, bitchy. The general consensus though, is that creepy uncle Stern pulled his diabolical puppet strings and influenced the game. Oh, and Dwight Howard had 21 points and 10 boards.

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.
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.

Last Call is kind of like Blogkakke, only on PCP, LSD and ludes. Fucking ludes man. Instead of just being a random link dump, it’s a place to congregate with fellow like minded sports fans, alcoholics and amateur comedians. So come on in, kick your shoes off and crack a beer; then regale us with a witty joke, bitch about that local sports team or tell us to get hit by a bus. If you have something you’d like to see here, our contact info is over on the right and there’s always the tip line, tips @ thegallyblog.com
Musical Interlude:
Yeah, Madonna looks like skin suit stretched over a frame that’s two sizes too big. Regardless, some of her stuff is catchy.
Linkage:
NY Mag: Will Leitch presents a simple plan for fixing the Mets. Spoiler, it doesn’t involve an atomic bomb.
Awl: A brief rundown of pop music tropes that Lady Gaga did not in fact invent.
Tv Torrents: Not that I endorse that kind of thing, but if you wanted to say download copies of all your TV DVD series, this would be the place. DM for more details.
Antenna Mag: Lang Whitaker, Editor of Slam Magagzine, will be starting a new food blog at Antenna, after some strong arming from friends.
Nonpopulist: A hate crime against nature. Autotuned wolves. Yeah.
