@RingoTheDog Seems there's no video in the first example?

To developers: Custom YouTube embeds.

After "Instead, he quite literally rode right into it."

Alright, my ad blocker blocks it. It's a Twitter embedded.

[RingoTheDog]

Seems to use JW Player, which is also used by other supported sites already, as far as I know.

[RingoTheDog]

yes many of the vids use but JW Player...

http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/arena-football-play-so-bad-youll-forget-how-many-teams-1795612624 is JW Player

However: http://fittish.deadspin.com/pro-cyclist-crashes-spectacularly-into-snowbank-costs-1779152408 is a twitter embed (which points to: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/736192056104787972/pu/pl/1280x720/YUtVYgxkgcXmIcZc.m3u8)
