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!

Pictured below is The Cavs second best player of the night.

on the contrary, let us never cease to refer to this franchise as the ‘tics.

fyi the first openly gay politician in Alabama just outed our governor:

Serious question: Why aren’t the Patriots getting more shit for having this guy on their payroll for years? I get that head coach is a much more visible position than defensive coordinator, but still.

there’s an uncomfortable but reasonable question of whether a 22-year-old indictment should permanently disqualify someone from gainful employment

Not only all that sports stuff, she failed to stop the nuclear program at Wooster Polytechnic Institute!

“for the sole purpose of hurting my family, my friends, and this organization with the intention of trying to damage my character and credibility”

Bill Cosby certainly agrees with you. “It all happened so long ago!” isn’t a valid defense.

That, I feel like, is the point glossed over here. The Lions should have known this, yes, but the guy worked for the Patriots for over a DECADE, what the hell were they doing that missed this for so long??

I spent a few wild and crazy Spring Breaks at Padre in the late 90s and somehow managed to avoid being indicted by a grand jury for aggravated sexual assault of a child. You’re really willing to chalk being arrested for gang rape up to youthful irresponsibility? That’s extremely fucked up.

I don’t want to minimize, BUT.

As a former employee at a graduate school, this is more right than you even know. And add in the fact that they spend their days plotting and planning one lateral move after another, because in higher ed, there is very little opportunity to move up, you can only move sideways. My former boss actually told me one…

I just left a job in Higher Ed academia after being there for two years. I gotta tell you that you are so spot on. There’s something about that field that just attracts insecure, self-absorbed, idiotic little twerps. It says a lot that my new job is working in a Women’s rehab facility and the entire first week I…

Higher ed administrator here, and not to “not all higher education administrators” this, because I agree to an extent, but the line seems to be drawn based on how much student contact the administrator has. Some of the best, most talented and professional people I’ve ever worked with are administrators in student…

Ah, my line of work enters the Kinja-sphere. As a white guy with fancy, schmancy degrees I can tell you this is a prime example of why we have problems in higher education. Our executive ranks are littered with individuals who have no idea how to navigate a world that does not conform to their personal definition of…

Hafþór Björnsson, who portrays Gregor Clegane on Game of Thrones, was the world’s second strongest man last year—not without controversy—but in this year’s competition in Manila, he finally reached the top of the mountain.

These aren’t pictures taken from a camera taking pictures of a phone taking pictures of a television?

With the racism of 1796.
