A Sports Baron Exclusive by Al Davis, Jr.
Cameras caught a slimmer – albeit slightly – Chris Berman at this year’s MLB All-Star game. Rumors abound that the NFL Primetime vet will start hawking Nutrisystem. In the blogosphere, Berman’s pitchman gig set of the latest round of Berman Bashing. Check out the commenters on The Big Lead’s Nutrisystem post.
It is no secret that Berman is a pompous bully. Yes, he is corpulent. No, he’s not the prodigy he thinks he is. Yes, Boomer is an ass. No, he hasn’t said anything innovative since we asked the barber to cut our hair like Zach Morris’.
Yes, sweat from rimming Brett Favre probably trickles over Berman’s neck fat into his pilose, ottoman-sized ass.
But I digress. Give the guy a break. Who doesn’t like Berman and Tom Jackson frothing at the mouth over highlights? I’ve heard it 1,000 times, but I laugh when he says ‘the frozen tundra of Laaaaambauuuuuu Fieeeeeeeeld,’ the ‘Raaaaaaaaaidas’ or ‘Rumblin’, bumblin’, stumblin’!!’ Don’t you?

I agree he is no Stu Scott, who is the symbol of everything that is wrong with the world and ESPN. Would it be possible to have Stu exiled to “Titletown” when that mind numbing segment ends once football returns?

Stu scott has the talent to host an open mic in rural Gorgia – but only on a good day.

I like Chris Berman I might be one of the people who don’t get tired of his nicknames.

I cannot stand Berman, he needs to upgrade his wardrobe, lose the gold ring and hire a golf coach. He is worse then Madden and that is tough to do, he needs to step aside and let someone else take over. I bet he is rude in person and tries to hit on women way out of his league.

Wish he would retire or get fired. Just can’t stand to see or hear him anymore. Or maybe, not be on ESPN everytime I watch tv. Don’t much like Stu Scott either, but he is not on tv every 5 min. anymore like he was a couple of years ago.
