Deadspin
The thing that's great about Kige Ramsey's dispatches for "YouTube Sports" is not their production value, though that's of course an instant eye-grabber. And it's not Ramsey's natural love affair with the camera. No, it's the straightforward nature of his commentary; no showmanship, no tomfoolery. You want to know the facts, he's got 'em.
Is it a sport? How about some television criticism? What about Dan Patrick leaving ESPN? And he even wants to help Nicole Richie! And yes: He single-handedly saved "Who's Now?"
Without him, we would be lost. With him ... we are found.
But is he a Hall of Famer? Seventy five percent is the threshold for induction. Vote below: Polls will be open until next Monday morning.

Kige: 100% of the vote!
Kige is dominating with 100% of two votes right now.
I will vote yes if I am promised an acceptance speech. That damned horse isn't giving one.
No.
Are you kidding? Hell effing YES!
Kige will totally make us a video if he gets inducted. Yay!
Nationalcoholic will be so sad to miss this thread.
Negatory
Tough group this year...
@Rob Iracane: That's my Robert. Always peeing on people.
I dream in wood paneling. Yes.
Fetal alcohol syndrome does not qualify one for the hall of fame.
MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE! Kige is our Savior!
A vote for Kige is a vote for paneling!
WHAT THE FUCK IS IN THAT FUCKING NOTEBOOK?!?
I have to admit that I have no idea what criteria to apply in evaluating these. Other than the fact that I'm sick of Barbaro on an ironic and non-ironic level.
If Kige doesn't get in, we should raze the Hall of Fame and build a Fuddruckers on the site.
Ned/Kige in '08
Survey says?
'X'
Boom goes the nomination.
@David Hume: Well then ...
(Crumples up nomination form.)
@Rob Iracane: I bet you'd also not vote Bonds in on his first ballot
@David Hume: No, but tard strength does. YES for Kige!
Little known fact: If elected, Kyle will campaign for world peace AND WIN!
I'm a Kige fan like the rest of us here, but if you've seen one of this videos you've seen them all.
@LloydCarrPoolLane: I'm a huge Bonds apologist!
I've gotta agree with Kige -- hiring Sam Bizarro as manager just wasn't a good move for the Orioles.

I was 99% no, then I rewatched his Lindsay Lohan commentary, where he subtly changed his sign off from YouTube Sports to YouTube News, and decided he's an unequivocal yes.
Caveat: the Ramsey wing of the HOF must be wood-paneled.
Not only is he Hall Worthy but like I stated last night, he should have his own Memorabila Room, like Babe Ruth, in the Hall which will include a re-creation of his studio down to the wood paneling and UK poster. Also present in the room will be a locker which will house his Titan's jersey and other assorted t-shirts. And of course, there will be video monitors that will play his various YouTube videos on an endless loop.
He only needs 65% of the vote because he's retarded right?
Are any nominees actually above 75%? They're all getting the Jim Rice treatment as I can see..
@UkraineNotWeak: That sounds like one of the Chinese hells
@What would Kornheiser do?: formulas of medicine to cure for cancer??
Jay Glazer votes no.
I had never watched any of his videos until now.
He looks like Ricky from Better Off Dead.
@pr0ff3ss0r_j3rkwh3at:
Ok, I know I'm working my way into insanity, but remember, no video needed. Just click here for the subscription that is all that is Kige. And it's free, no shipping and handling!

Yes, because the DSHOF needs a feel good story, and we all can admit that we all feel a little better about ourselves and life in general after watching YouTube Sports.
It's just so damn earnest and cute...
@Rob Iracane: but Kige got to where he is the all natural way...you can't find that type on insight in a syringe...
From humble Wal-Mart and wood panelling beginnings, his stock has risen so high within YouTube Sports that he has unprecedented access to the Tennessee Titans training camp. How can you not vote yes?
If Kige Ramsey doesn't make it in, it will be a sad day for Deadspin. Kige Ramsey is a good thing for satire and comedy pyramids. Wal-Mart's air conditioning system almost gave me pneumonia. Vote Yes for Kige Ramsey.
This is Johnny Foodstamps for YouTube Sports.
I THINK THAT KIGE RAMSEY DESERVES TO BE IN THE HOF. KIGE RAMSEY IS GOOD AT SPORTS NEWS, SO HE SHOULD BE IN THE HOF BASED ON THAT.
THIS IS KIGE RAMSEY FOR YOUTUBE SPORTS.
A big hell yes for the quasi-retarded.
Vote for Kige. You don't want another Columbine on your hands.
@Lisa: you make it sound as if I don't subscribe to Kige as it is
If Kige and the ESPN memo don't get in I will move over to Jezebel and solve crimes all day instead of making jokes.*
*No I won't.
Ugh, I don't even want to think about what his plaque portrait would look like. To quote MST3K's treatment of Eegah, "He looks like a cyst with hair and teeth."
No.
Kige in the Deadspin HOF? I agree with this.
Although, I may be slightly biased in my opinion since I am convinced that Kige is the love spawn of Sloth and Chunk.
You know, now that I think about him in the context of the HOF, does he remind anyone else of Mike Cooper, if his life had been slightly (and I mean slightly) different.
UR WACHEENG YOOTOOB SPORTZ!
Yes, definitely.
I give it a no.
@What would Kornheiser do?: Clearly he documents everything in there like Raymond Babbitt. "Pinched and pulled and hurt my neck in 1988."
@MannysHeadStash: maybe "George Fayne, girl detective" is still available as a commenter name.....
Yay, I can bring two of my friends.
@Athletic Supporter: glad someone else agrees with that sentiment. this guy makes the "Boom goes the Dynamite" guy look like Edward R. Murrow.
Yes, and especially if you send him a plaque which he displays in his next "report."
i vote 4 bof
/im da shit
