Morning Head: This is stupid

Camilla Belle has played a cavewoman. No doubt she's nowhere near as annoying as the Geico caveman. Seriously, can we completely cut these commercials? Is there anyone in those focus groups that say, "you know what I want? More of those cavemen who hate Geico. Those guys are hilarious." I really, really hope not.

But onto more serious matters: What the fuck? Last night was the first time in this series that the Red Wings deserved to win. Not that the Sharks didn't, but the Wings finally played the game they're capable of playing, and responded when the Sharks scored some soul-crushing goals. Until the third period, like Matt at On the Wings wrote, when the Wings slipped into a bit of a prevent defense, happy to win this game 3-2. Of course, the Sharks found a way to force overtime, where they never lose and the Red Wings seemingly never win. One place Matt and I disagree is on "letting the Sharks hang around" in the first two periods. The Sharks are very good hockey team, probably better than the Red Wings if we want to look at this honestly. The reason the Wings looked so dominant against the Coyotes is because the Coyotes were the worst of the eight teams in the Western Conference playoffs. So now the Wings have to find a way to win four straight against a team that's better than them, and do it twice in San Jose. Unless things like broken stick goals start happening for the Red Wings and the Sharks start barely missing passes that lead to wide open nets, that's not happening. (On the Wings)

I'd say, "at least we're not Capitals fans" but then again, the Red Wings are looking down the barrel of a sweep themselves. The fact the Caps have again disappointed in the playoffs, despite the fact they took a more defensive approach this season, shows there's something more than strategy wrong with this team. I love me some Bruce Boudreau, but he's more than likely done, and I don't think anyone can argue with that. (Puck Daddy)

The Flyers, meanwhile, have the Bruins right where they want them. But seriously, the Flyers are embarrassing. (Philly.com)

Break up the Tigers! Two wins in a row against the New York Yankees! The Sizemore move has changed this team's fortunes! Of course, all of this is out the window in two weeks, when the Tigers have lost seven of their last nine, and Sizemore is hitless in his last 11 games. (DetNews)

The Lakers are strugg-a-ling. Dallas took a 2-0 lead on L.A. with another win at Staples Center last night. I didn't watch the game, because I was busy decompressing after the Wings loss, but I hear the Mavs big white foreigner was 1,000-times better than the Lakers big white foreigner. (LA Times)

I don't know what to think of the Bulls, frankly. I think they're good, at least that's what the regular season told me. But even in their wins in the playoffs, it hasn't been all that pretty. I think they can, and will, beat Atlanta, and I think they might be a bit of a matchup issue for the Heat, but I don't think they can win the East, and that bothers me. If the Sharks and Heat win the Stanley Cup and NBA Title, I might just quit watching sports. (Chicago Tribune)

This makes me happy, though. Warning to friends who read this blog: If I do get this book, I will likely walk around speaking like I'm part of a crime family for however long it takes me to read it. (Huffington Post)

Osama bin Laden's death photos are not being released, so don't click on the Facebook link that says they have them. Really, you shouldn't click on any Facebook links that don't look trustworthy and have a lot of exclamation points in the subject, but this one is amazing to me. It's as if people really think the White House would secretly leak the photos to Facebook as a way of getting around what they said they wouldn't do. On the bright side, getting the "Osama death photos" virus on Facebook is much less embarrassing than getting the "Father walks in on daughter, how embarrassing" virus. (ABC)

Today's Amazingness is VIDEO OF OSAMA BIN LADEN'S DEATH!!!!!!!!!!

OK, it's not. Although, I have a hard time believing this is real:
