Morning Head: Holy Sh*t, the NFL Draft is tonight

Here's Alessandra Ambrosio in a dress that doesn't quite have enough material to cover her backside when she does a move like that. Some designers really know what they're doing.

So, the NFL Draft is tonight. I don't know if it's the fact the Lions aren't picking until No. 13 or that we're so immersed in the NHL Playoffs, but this really kind of snuck up on me. SI's Don Banks has the Lions taking Prince Amukamara, which I think is the best-case scenario. Corner might be the Lions' biggest need -- along with tackle -- and he's a talent worthy of a top-15 pick. He also mentions Mark Ingram as a possibility, but I really don't like that. This front office seems to have it much more on the ball than its predecessor, so I'm not too worried. (SI.com)

The first round of the NHL Playoffs is now over, as Tampa Bay and Boston won two more thrilling Game 7s Wednesday night. This led SB Nation to ask the question, "Was this the best first round ever?" They say yes, and I have to agree. Nine straight days of overtime games, home-ice advantage being rendered moot by the incredible competition, and best of all, the best teams in the league are still standing, meaning we'll have exciting hockey the rest of the way. Oh, and make sure to watch the video at the end of that. (SB Nation)

I don't normally like to link to Drew Sharp articles unless I'm making fun of them, but I kind of agree with this one: Jimmy Howard is going to need to come up big if the Wings are going to beat the Sharks. The Wings were so dominant against Phoenix that his play went largely unnoticed, but I thought Howard was spectacular when he needed to be in that series. The Sharks are going to bring a lot of offensive pressure in this series, and while I don't think the Wings will have trouble scoring -- if L.A. could produce as much as it did without Anze Kopitar, the Wings shouldn't have any issues -- but that doesn't mean Howard should be satisfied winning games 5-4 or 6-5. Then again, as long as the Wings win four of them, I could give a shit what the score is. Series starts at 10 p.m. Friday. There will be a live blog if I can possibly make that happen. Although, it is a Friday. (Freep)

Griffin is going to have to talk me down, because I've about had it with these Tigers. Yes, I realize it's April, but a 10-1 loss to Seattle? At home? With your ace pitching? Come the fuck on. (DetNews)

The NBA matched the NHL last night when it came to excitement, as the Spurs and Thunder each had some late-game heroics to win their respective Game 5s. For the Spurs, it was a miracle three by Gary Neal (?) to send the game to overtime and stay alive against the Memphis Grizzlies. They still have to win two more, including one on the road, but the pressure shifts a little bit to Memphis to win a close-out game on the road after failing to finish off a veteran team like the Spurs. For the Thunder, it was Kevin Durant telling Russell Westbrook, "I take the shots down the stretch," as he led his team to a Game 5 win and into the second round. Oklahoma City will play the winner of the Spurs/Grizzlies series. The Heat also won last night, eliminating the Sixers. You probably won't hear anything about their next series, though. (Herald Sun)

Some of the images from Alabama are horrific after tornadoes ripped through the area. There are more than 200 dead in the South after these storms ripped through the area. Devastating. (Washington Post)
