Kige Ramsey, Hall of Famer?
To all loyal readers and ships at sea, this is an all points bulletin to head to Deadspin and vote for Kige Ramsey of Youtube Sports to be enshrined in their Hall of Fame. To those of you fortunate souls who have already been introduced to this southern gentleman, you know why I implore you to do your democratic duty. If you have yet to bask in Kige's glory, go here to achieve utter enlightenment.
As of this moment, heretics are conspiring to keep Kige out of the HOF, as we are slightly under the 75% mark that ensures enshrinement. This lack of respect and fealty to Kige is a gross disappointment, and must be rectified immediately.
Some see Kige as a one trick pony, undeserving of our adulation. Some even have the gall to question his sanity and mental health. However, us true believers no otherwise. In this world full of mediocrity, where sports media is more concerned with "Who's Now" than what is happening, Kige is the exception. His journalistic integrity hearkens back to the days of Edward R. Murrow, and his usage of language evokes memories of Grantland Rice.
Although he can usually be found in front of his refrigerator mounted camera, he has oftentimes chosen to change the venue of his spots. Who can forget the great update from the aisles of Walmart, or the memorable report from Titans training camp. Nobody, that's who.
Finally, we all remember where we were when he emotionally pleaded with Nicole Ritchie to get help for anorexic. There were few dry eyes in America that day, I can assure you. Nevertheless, Kige kept his head and stood up as a bulwark around which America could rebuild.
Kige Ramsey is a good broadcaster. He has much information to share with us. I think that he does an excellent job of reporting news. He is much better than ESPN or Peter King. In conclusion, he is a good reporter.
