It’s a play on words, not a pun.

From Kneeling to Sucking: The History of the Use of the Word ‘Tebow’

The unnamed sucker in this story was presumably someone in Human Resources, whose entire job is to know laws and regulations pertaining to employment, including that it’s generally illegal a) for a company’s executive to ask for this information, and b) to share it with anyone in- or outside the company. I don’t even…

Hi there, nice to meet you! I’m Reality, just checking in, and I wanted to let you know that the sooner you get over yourself and stop pretending that doping is limited to a particular time period or particular sport, the happier you’ll be. The entire controversy isn’t fundamentally different from the debates about…

The thing is, there’s no quantified stat for it, but Steph Curry also has arguably the best handling skills in the game today. It only gets overlooked because his phenomenal shooting is an even bigger story, but all his moves are just kind of ridiculous.

Yeah. I mean, what the fuck do you expect him to do if he sees his coaches are making bad decisions? Just sit there, “know his place” and wait to get injured because he’s the one who bears the burden of Shanahan’s fuckups?

It’s an interesting debate, because most leagues have been consolidating in terms of dominant performers during a period where the Premier League has experienced unprecedented competitiveness. In the past four years, it’s been unthinkable that anyone other than Bayern wins the Bundesliga, anyone other than Juventus…

The first thing you need to know about reading soccer articles on Deadspin are that Billy’s offerings aren’t journalism, they’re a rather sarcastic deconstruction of the way British and European* writers talk about the sport. If you don’t believe, go to the Guardian’s website and read some of their soccer columns.**…

Well, that’s true. But even a civil engineer would be a better commentator than Joe Buck, whereas your ability to tell a completely irrelevant story with an even more irrelevant lesson and do it in an interesting and entertaining way is exactly what sports commentary needs.

This comment is too beautiful to be in the greys.

The terms of the MOU could (and most likely would) be altered after the city council signed off on it. It’s not terribly hard to make that happen, either - it’s a lot easier for limited-liability corporations to declare bankruptcy, which can “encourage” the city to kick in extra cash (otherwise everything they…

I can’t speak for the relative merits of George R.R. Martin, but I’ll take Edward Gibbon over you any day of the week.

Every team that won a Championship since 1990 - during which the Sixers have had seven top-5 picks - has also not been the Sixers. I’m pretty sure you need to go back to high school statistics.

You should be a sports commentator.

I wouldn’t say the best ever, but he is definitely the last of a lamentedly dying breed in sportscasting. Joe Buck is the future and the future is shit.

To promote and reinforce the sexualization of the performers.

The thing is, terrorism of any kind is a losing strategy, since the more often it happens the more people become inured to it.

Just a heads up, studying at the Sorbonne doesn’t mean shit anymore and hasn’t for 50-100 years.

That Margot Robbie was a 23-year-old actress in 2008 and a 25-year-old actress in 2016 could mean one of two things: either she’s only aged two years since the first Sex and the City movie entered theaters, or she’s 30 years old, soon 31.

Why isn’t made-to-measure a bigger story in women’s wear? The size and shape of your bodies varies even more than it does for us men (of the five women in the picture, maybe two could swap outfits and still look good), but we’ve had access to relatively cheap, semi-tailored clothing for years. Online services and…
