FlipBoardESPN’s Chris Berman has re-signed with that network, and presumably used rumors of his defection to NFL Network to pump a little bit more money out of those Bristol coffers. Those rumors were circulated two months, and one could assertain that the large gulf of time between then and now indicates that the Swami didn’t get the money that he was looking for.
As annoying as Berman comes off to most people, I much prefer his antics to the quasi-European smugness of Trey Wingo or the “Word to yo mutha” ramblings of Stuart Scott, two people that were likely to replace him behind the NFL game-day desk. You know what you get with Berman: a little bit of cheese and a little less hair. I can handle him keeping his own seat warm while giving Scott a few more years to get hit by a bus. Not that I wish him any ill will; I just think he’s terrible at his job.
Who would you rather see running the point of ESPN’s NFL coverage? Besides Suzy Kolber, obviously…
The guy who was stalking Erin Andrews. At least then we’d be guaranteed interesting footage every night.
You’re with me comb over.
heh assertain
Nobody circles the wagons like fatboy.
OMG! You are soooo right! I’d much rather hear good old-fashioned jokes about how some guy’s last name sounds like a word from the second verse of some Beatles song. Chris Berman is to ESPN as Jay Leno is to NBC. He’s too effing old and unfunny for anyone in college to suffer through a half hour with Tom Jackson snickering in the background just so you can tell he got the joke. Hopefully HE’LL get hit by a bus so I don’t have to hear the word “back” 5,000 times during the next Home Run Derby. Better than Stuart Scott? Lol, your weed smoking normally makes this site funny, but perhaps this last batch was laced with something.
As a person who prefers the NFL Network over ESPN 100% of the time, I have to actually say “Thank you, ESPN.”
Scott van Pelt. He should call every game and do every commentary. I’m not exaggerating.
It wouldn’t be right to see him any where else.
