The Morning After Pill

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.

The Morning After Pill: The What Is Sleep Edition

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.

NBA: What’s this? Leading off with Basketball? These are some troubling times I tells ya. Start your hyperbole engines folks. Have you heard about this Kobe Bryant guy? I hear he’s kind of okay or something. Well ESPN tagged his performance last night as “Burning the Suns”, “going off”, and “erupting”. That sounds like they’re describing some kind of weird extra-solar sci-fi porno. And not the kind of porno that you’d actually want to watch or anything. Maybe PJD, but he’s weird like that. Anyways, Kobe scored 40 points while Lamar Odom had 19 points and 19 boards in a 128-107 whuppin. Thanks Steve Nash, thanks for giving America another reason to laugh at us.

MLB: Hahahahhaha, Boston, hahahahahhahaa, sucks, hahahahaha. Boston carried a 2 run lead into the 9th against the Yankees and lost in spectacular fashion. Jonathan Papelbon, who I will not refer to as Papelboner because we already have enough porn references going, gave up a one run HR to ARod and followed it up with a walk off 2 run shot by Marcus Thames. The collapse was completed and the Yankees won 11-9. Justin Morneau, Canada’s favorite Baseball son, kicked his country in the nuts last night. His 2 HR’s lead the Twinks to a 8-3 win over the Jays. Yes Hanley Ramirez is hurt to an extent, but he still played like a douche last night and got benched for it. When a ball landed near him last night in the second inning, he managed to kick it 100 feet into the outfield and jogged after it which allowed 2 runners to score. Video Herec (more…)
