This is definitely going to be a thing here, isn’t it?

I remember as a teenager seeing that photo of Shaq’s newborn asleep in one of his size 19 shoes. As someone who takes a pretty big shoe size myself (UK 13) just thinking about how enormous that dudes feet are blew my mind.

Yes. That’s a very accurate assessment IMO. 

He’s not entirely wrong, although he doesn’t get it across very well. Some of my former colleagues who are heavily involved in researching gang activity/knife crime in the UK have drawn conclusions that the permanent record of social media exacerbates “face”-based confrontations and where reputations in previous years…

You guys have now ticked off another of my Deadcast-guest bucket list with Diana, who was excellent. Now just get Burneko on and feed him heinous food and basketball takes until his head explodes for our listening pleasure, please. 

First time I flew (in fact, first two times I flew) anywhere further than the one-hour hop between Ireland and England (which is basically like getting on a bus) was London-Melbourne (approx a 24 hour trip with a stopover for refuelling in Singapore). That kind of knocks any flight-angst right out of you. I fly to the…

That was my first thought, too. The furries  are going to go wild with this shit.

One of the greatest bitchy takes ever. Needs to be heard in George’s drawl for full effect

Right? You’d hardly struggle to find excellent street/fast food in KL. 

For those that don’t know, in the UK ‘Prat’ is one of those wonderful non-obscene but utterly contemptous terms that we have an abundance of (see also ‘Berk’, ‘Pillock’ and ‘Twerp’).

aye. Cite properly and you’re fine..  of course at my University, quotes over two lines don’t go against word-count!

Oh, yeah, the plagiarism detector caught it straight away... but I’d have been on it anyway: the shift in tone and quality stood out like a sore thumb. What the detector does do is make it very easy to show the student exactly where they stole something from when the inevitable tense meeting happens shortly after they…

I remember one of my student's essays..most of it was barely coherent, semiliterate waffle except for one lengthy passage that was clear, concise and well researched. She was cunning though: she made sure to lift that section in its entirety from a professor at this obscure, backwater university called..um..Cambridge?

So are Deadspin hiring three extra staffers to cover the utter hilarious trainwreck this is going to be?

If you’re walking around with a name that George Lucas rejected for a minor character in Attack Of The Clones, you should maybe keep yer taeks to yerself. 

I miss that terrible person. Scocca, that is. 

Exactly. They’re clearly the best at their sport and also a symptom of what’s making their sport barely watchable. 00's Chelski springs to mind

it’s kind of sad-yet-good that Romo was by far the most entertaining thing about the Super Bowl. 

That was almost my exact reaction. I thought “So that’s the container that they mopped Toht’s face into after Indy buggered off and poor Helmut was left mit der klean up as usual”

I know this isn’t yer first post back after injury... but damn, man, It’s the one we needed you back for.
