WaPo Sports Blog Commenters Unite

Best photo ever.

Eternal praise to Lindsay Applebaum for executing a flawless interview with Redskins Insider commenter CHrIs LaRry, who turns out to be about as interesting as you might expect from someone who makes such indiscriminate use of the shift key. Eternal praise also to anyone who helped hatch this idea. (Throat clear.)

Lindsay will continue profiling our blog commenters in coming days and weeks, which seems like obsessive inside blogball, until you remember the Deadspin commenters who grew up to launch two of the most successful sports blogs this world has seen. Who’s to say CHrIs LaRry or his peers won’t be next? Also, many of us end up reading more total words written by CHrIS LaRry and his peers than, say, Jason La Canfora, so we might as well know who they are.

That being the case, I’m trying to think of the blog commenters I’m most anxiously looking forward to meeting in unfiltered form. A brief list follows, although some would fit in multiple categories. Tell me who I’m forgetting. And if you’re interested, please e-mail Lindsay.

Soccer Insider: Dadryan, Fisch Fry, B.A., Bolivian DC Fan, bluemeanies, d, dc, I-270, Exit 1, AlexW81.

Redskins Insider: Barno, Redcoat, Nate in the PDX, dcsween, Talent Evaluator, Alex35332, Dorf, P Diddy.

Wizards Insider: Kalorama, DC Man88, Ray, Colin.

D.C. Sports Bog: StetSports.com, Sitruc, Chest Rockwell, prophet, qualude conduct, Kim, caphcky, Fingerman, WaPoLiveFan16.

Capitals Insider: MNMNT, Stormblue, norske, Sombrero Guy, tallbear, old time hockey. (I’m definitely weakest here, apologies.)

Nationals Journal: Coverage is lacking, Steven on Capitol Hill, Bob L. Head, SC Nats Fan, Section 506 (Before moving), NatsNut, O’s Exec, Flynnie.

A few dozen of my best friends. Sigh.

You know, no disrespect to anyone, but I think I might like the NJ commenters best. Although “Which blog has the best commenting community” might make for a nice poll some day.

Note: Yes, this is a little sad. But the Internet is a little sad.
