Twitter Sports Rundown

The original Super Bowl Shuffle was one of those things that should have stayed in its respective decade. The 1985 Chicago Bears momentarily murdered music despite reaching #41 on the Billboard Hot 100.

But, whether it be our fascination with retro or our collective lack of creativity, we still continue to bring things like the Super Bowl Shuffle back into our culture.

We may be able to thank Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie for bringing it back once more:

Its time 4 the Ravens 2 redo the Super Bowl Shuffle lol

— Bryant Mckinnie (@BryantMckinnie) February 20, 2013

And he appears to be serious, too. He has even reached out to running back Ray Rice who agreed to be in the video as well as rap:

@bryantmckinnie yea I’m in bro lol

— Ray Rice (@RayRice27) February 20, 2013

“I’m Ray Rice and I’m here to say
All you defenders better get out of my way
Especially in the playoffs because this ball is really slippery….”

According to McKinnie, he is setting it up now with the help of hip-hop artist Yung Berg:

RT @rayrice27: @bryantmckinnie yea I’m in bro lol (setting it up now, @therealyungberg gonna help with production)

Oh boy.

Before this past season Darrelle Revis was considered the consensus number one cornerback in the NFL, but an injury in 2012 and the emergence of Richard Sherman and an argument has come to fruition.

The two jawed on twitter today about who was better, with Sherman bringing up a couple of incorrect statistics into the mix.

Got off my flight to this hilarious convo. So I have 8 picks 3 ff and a sack.My season stats looking like Revis career stats

— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) February 20, 2013

Revis actually also had eight interceptions in his second season in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus.

For the QB not throwing his way argument.In his 2nd year they were throwing his way.I still doubled his picks

— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) February 20, 2013

@revis24 don’t need ya name… Ur name will be irrelevant once u step back on the field bruh.Get ya picks up!

— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) February 20, 2013

@revis24 one season u will get 8 picks…. But it won’t happen anytime soon… I did it in my 2nd season… So u have something to chase

— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) February 20, 2013

Revis fired back.

That’s like you saying your better then Deion Sanders & since he’s not playing no more he’s irrelevant for what he’s done. @rsherman_25

— Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) February 20, 2013

Hey everyone @rsherman_25 wants to be a lockdown corner. He wants to be in the talks of a lockdown corner. So follow him so he can become 1!

— Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) February 20, 2013

@rsherman_25 I ain’t your competition bro, @roddywhitetv is!!!

— Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) February 20, 2013

This should be an intriguing storyline for the 2013 season, but I think this is a sentiment that we all share.

I wish Sherman and Revis could just acknowledge one another as 1A and 1B.

Update:

Revis is still going:

This dude just interrupted my NBA 2k game cause he has draSms to be a lockdown corner!!! HAHA #keepdreaming

— Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) February 20, 2013

Look I just helped you get 6,000 followers homie!!! @rsherman_25

And no, I’m not kidding.

In probably the lamest feud of this decade, Jose Canseco and Bill Nye the Science Guy have exchanged words and arguments regarding — you guessed it — science.

It all started when Canseco got to thinking about gravity. Canseco stated that “ancient gravity” was weaker than our current gravity. Ya know, 2013 gravity; that good stuff:

Ancient gravity was much weaker

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

You ever wonder why nothing REALLY big exists today in nature

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

elephants today eight tons supersaurs two hundred tons a totally different world. why?

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

Animal tissue of muscles and ligaments could not support huge dinosaurs even standing up or pump blood up 60 foot necks

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

Gravity had to be weaker to make dinosaurs nimble

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

My theory is the core of the planet shifted when single continent formed to keep us in a balanced spin

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

The land was farther away from the core and had much less gravity so bigness could develop and dominate

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

I may not be 100% right but think about it.How else could 30 foot leather birds fly?

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 19, 2013

Enter The Science Guy. In an email to the Huffington Post, Nye questions whether Canseco was joking, or rather if “society [has] failed him completely:”

His nickname in Major League Baseball was “The Chemist,” because he was so knowledgeable in the chemistry of performance enhancing drugs and making musculature go big. Reading his recent tweets about the remarkable size of the ancient dinosaurs … it doesn’t sound (read) as though he’s especially fluent in physics. This fills me with either joy or dismay depending on what social media messages he provides us with next. Either he’s in on the joke and is just throwing us all a curve ball with plenty of break, or we as a society have failed him completely with regard to the fundamentals of planetary science.

And, in one of Canseco’s more ironic tweets, “The Chemist” fires back at the Science Guy, telling him he has not been relevant since the 1990′s:

Bill Nye @thescienceguy has not been relevant since the 90s #doesnotrecognizeancientgravity #headinthesandskeptic #arroganttwit #baddresser

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 20, 2013

Yes, he also insulted Bill Nye by calling him a bad dresser.

But a little later, Canseco had a slight change of heart and offered up one of his signature hugs to the Science Guy:

hey Bill @thescienceguy just re-read your email to huffpost regarding my scientific theories and think I shouldnt have got so mad. hug for u

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 20, 2013

All better!
