Alright so in my defense, within Deadspin chats the Celtics are almost exclusively referred to as the Tics or the Tic Boys and I think I forgot how odd that sounded? I didn’t know it would spark so much controversy!

the ’Tics played smarter

You went to K State. A lot more than 5 minutes has been stolen from you.

Another rule: all teams that play in the Badlands are called the Browns. Hockey, base ball, whatever. They are the Browns. Browns vs. Browns. Fans are forced to wear brown at the stadium.

(Houston is already in the Land of Light, by your definition)

And R2D2 just stood there doing NOTHING

Well, that settles it. Nigel Hayes will never play another game at quarterback in the NFL.

Within a day: Pearl necklaces would become extremely rare and valuable, as the vast majority of them would have been clutched into dust.

He would be a GREAT fit for a tanking team whose payroll is super low and needs to get above the salary floor. He’s still a name and a draw. He will help you lose games and sell tickets - which is a dream scenario for a tanking team. But the risk is how much he will stifle the development of your young players. It’s…

Middleton’s great from 3 and provides spacing in theory, but far too often he insists on pump-faking, stepping inside the arc, posting, and settling for a contested baseline 15-footer.

He’s great at…

Earn your pinstripes! Grossly over pay for an undersized apartment and spend 14 dollars on a pack of cigarettes!

“We had literally heard them all, we could recite them before he even started to say them...”

Reminds me of San Bruno in California. PG&E had a gas pipeline running underground through a neighborhood, and received permission from the state to raise utility rates *twice* to pay for fixes to the pipeline.

They’re actually looking through his crotch, at his wallet in his back pocket. Like Superman, except hoes. I believe the prophet Soulja Boy wrote of this 

You’d think a Packer would know what’s in his luggage.
