Morning Head: Now it's a series

Hey, it's Kim Kardashian. How awkward must it feel for Lamar Odom, a basketball player who people actually know, to be married Khloe while Kris Humphries, a player who spells his first name like a girl, is dating that.

Somehow, some way, the Detroit Red Wings found a way to win Game 5 Sunday night in San Jose. It's that winning in San Jose is impossible, it's that the Wings looked dead in the water for pretty much all of the first two periods, and even when they did get some momentum going at the end of the second, it was quickly thwarted by a Logan Couture goal less than a minute into the third. But then the Red Wings showed up, and scored three unanswered goals to win the game and force Game 6 (side note: Is there anyway Pavel Datsyuk can be awarded three assists for his helper on the Holmstrom goal? Maybe four?). Now the series goes back to Detroit, where the Wings can tie this thing up. I'll just stop there for now. (Freep)

As Griffin told you yesterday, Jose Valverde picked up his 200th career save in the Tigers 5-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers have now won five of six, which is a lot better than, say, losing seven straight. Infinitely better, even. (DetNews)

The Los Angeles Lakers were embarrassed on the court by the Dallas Mavericks Sunday, getting swept out of the playoffs. Then they went ahead and further embarrassed themselves by acting like jackasses -- looking at you, Andrew Bynum. The common thought after the game was that the Lakers are going to trade away Bynum and one of either Odom or Gasol for Dwight Howard. The only reason you do that if you're the Magic is if you know that you have to get something in return for Howard before he just up and leaves in free agency. Also, Bynum needs to be suspended for the first three games, at least, of next season. That cheap shot was done solely with the intent to injure in the waning moments of a game that was in hand.

The Atlanta Hawks, meanwhile, tied their series with the Chicago Bulls, and -- Surprise! -- the talk the day after is of a blown call that came in a critical situation. NBA refs are awful, we know this. Their ability to a major part of the conversation the day after a game is uncanny. It's almost like they simply enjoy hearing their names on Sportscenter, even if it means they're being ripped. As for the actual game, Atlanta is a lot better than I thought it was.

Newt Gingrich will announce Wednesday that he is running for President in 2012. Which is, well, hilarious. (The Hill)

Barack Obama was interviewed Sunday night about the raid to kill bin Laden on "60 Minutes." If you missed it, here's a pretty good summation of his remarks. Greatest part of this whole thing was when he said anyone who doesn't think bin Laden deserved what he got needs to have their head examined. Take that, half of my Facebook feed. (Talk Radio News)

Today's Amazingness goes beyond Amazing at points, if for no other reason than you get to hear Michael Bolton say, "this city is a pussy, just waiting to get fucked":
