There is a possibility that some lackey at NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis left them off some licensing paperwork indicating who were the new teams to add this year. Still, as you laid out, even a little bit of homework on EA's part would've caught the mistake and prevented it from happening. I get that NCAA games…

Paterno Truthers really aren't helping their case by claiming that the whole Sandusky affair was "an inside job."

No, only the minority of the scientific community (albeit a very vocal one) disputes climate change as a man-made phenomenon that has and will continue to affect the planet. This says nothing of the shipping companies bidding over newly opened up lanes in the Arctic and Oceanic nations preparing to migrate their…

What, that I'll become an obsessive-compulsive helicopter parent who secretly competes with other parents using my kid? I hope not. It sounds like your approach is pretty similar to my parents. Granted, I was in a blended family of 5 kids so it was impossible for them to micromanage our lives, but they let us explore…

Just as much a name as Brylee or Zebulon or Blayde.

Nope, and won't be for awhile given that I ended a 4 1/2 year relationship back in January. Would love to have kids one day though.

Not very Park Slope Brooklyn, but we truly believe this.

I totally get that, but coming from a NASCAR noob, shouldn't the blame be on the owners and sponsors for enabling drivers like her to make that leap? I'm not too familiar with the lower tiers of NASCAR, but it seems like someone is allowing them to race up beyond where they should be because of their family…

It'll affect your family when little Adam gets picked on at school for having such a goofy name to them. Seriously, it should be disconcerting that an entire generation of parents raised on the "me" generation mentality addresses a process like child naming with the same self-absorbed flippancy that they're accused…

Huh, the more you know...

If you want to break it down, most "common" names have an etymological root and mean something. For instance, my brother's name, Benjamin, is Hebrew for "son of my right hand." These..."names"...listed above are just random letters thrown together or are baldly based on a common noun. The mentality is to be "trendy,"…

This is a perfect summation. "Unique" names are never for the kid; it's the parents making it all about themselves. I understand parents not wanting their kid to share the same name as a bunch of other people in their grade, but there's plenty of names that aren't frequently used and that don't sound moronic like the…

After reading this, white people have no fucking place to make fun of the JaMarcus and LaToya's of the world.

So, to break it down, the basic trends are:

This is a common misconception among dipshit white parents: just because a name is cool in one language does not make it cool in another. In German-language countries, Bastian is fairly common. Here, it makes you sound like a pretentious ass. You don't see European parents lifting Kevin or Jason into their baby-name…

Fuck yea. Just got to the site an hour ago. Holy shit the comments are amazing. Pure Deadspin all around.

What liers said is dead-on. It doesn't excuse PSU's actions in any way, but schools understand that high rates of assault are detrimental to admission and a school's image so they regularly distort them. Unfortunately, the Clery Act, much like the Buckley Amendment that regulates university policies regarding student…

Actually, I think this would be the appropriate image...
