Looks and sounds like that one guy on Celebrity Rehab in a wheel-chair.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Leitch must have some great sources.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Just an unbelievable find.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Was that Lewis Black?
January 31st, 2008 at 1:11 pm
@Mike NYC - He had to go all the way to Arizona to find that clip.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Damn you work for blocking Youtube.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:13 pm
what a fucking douche
January 31st, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Damn you work for not giving me speakers.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Hey Chris, if the red light is on, that means the camera is rolling.
And please tell me that was a coors light he was drinking.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:17 pm
And major props to the intern/janitor/help who pulled this tape before quitting.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Boom! Goes the Dynamite.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:19 pm
decaf man.
is this as good as beano cook pounding the desk with his fist because someone can’t hear him? pretty close.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:20 pm
That was an impressive hissy fit.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:23 pm
seeing stuff like this makes me glad I’m not on tv… how many times have I gotten pissed at work?
January 31st, 2008 at 1:24 pm
He seems very angry at Jesus.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Must have been a long night with Leather.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Was he Jana Danison’s mentor?
January 31st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Wow, what a child. It almost seemed staged. I find it hard to believe that he can’t tape a bit with people walking around yet he can do commentary at live events all the time.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Please - how hard is his job at this point. It’s the easiest paradigm around:
1) Throw in some Whoop Whoop Whoop during a return
2) See goal line play on screen and go Boom Boom Boom
3) Make a 60’s music reference to some guy’s last name
4) Have the intern look up who went to Louisville to cue Tom
5) Mention Circle the Wagons when Buffalo logo appears on screen
6) If Nov. or Dec., mention frozen tundra for Green Bay game
I could go on. Seriously, what’s there to distract him from using the same “playbook” at this point?
January 31st, 2008 at 1:31 pm
It’s so god damned rude
Just so I get this straight:
Walking behind cameras in a studio while taping rude
Cursing out every coworker within earshot, completely acceptable.
I guess you have to go to Brown to learn those life-lessons
January 31st, 2008 at 1:31 pm
@cool_rick - I don’t know who the hell you’re talking about, but I laughed anyway. Thank you for the unintentional(?) comedy.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I’m gonna back Berman on this. I would say his job is NOT easy at all. It cant be that simple to sit in front of a camera and not stutter some words and not be nervous knowing 10 billion people are watching. I feel sorry for Berman in this video.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Why are people commenting? Its like you’ve never read a blog before. 20 goddamn comments. Its so goddamn rude. Right when I’m trying to concentrate, every starts commenting.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:33 pm
has anyone seen ditka lately. seeing him on tv with those sunglasses on has been the highlight of my week so far.
roethlisdog that was hilarious
January 31st, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I saw him tape at the baseball all star game in Arlington several years ago. He was the exact same way. Everybody seemed scared of him and all the “fans” were so surprised at the way that he was behaving. I liked him until I saw his fits of rampage at that event. From the looks of everybody else there watching, I am not alone.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Someone shit in his cereal? “No one move! No one move!” What a baby!
January 31st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Why don’t they show this with all the other “bloopers” when they do the best of sportscenter, like Charlie Steiner laughing hysterically? Steve Levy’s bulging di*k, etc…
January 31st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
My father was the local TV sports guy back in the 60s, and the shit that used to go on behind the camera would’ve driven a sane man nuts; and not just the normal stuff. Once, the weather guy dropped his pants just off to the side, next to the camera, just to see if he could get a reaction out of my father. My old man never changed his expression.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:47 pm
If you watch it a few times, he said “someone ducking under”, so some douche walked under the camera he was trying to read from. That would be pretty distracting while your trying to read moving words.
Not sure why everyone is hating on Berman, I don’t watch baseball, so maybe you don’t like him calling live games? I was sad the day that NFL Primetime went off the air, it was my favorite hour of TV.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Suddenly, Barkley’s reaction on Inside the NBA to the worker running past him doesn’t seem so strange. At least he didn’t star swearing at everyone.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Coop, I don’t understand all the Berman hate either. IMO, NFL Primetime is the greatest highlight show in history.
I make a point of watching the 11 PM Sunday Night Sportscenter just so I can see him and TJ do NFL Blitz.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:56 pm
49er, so do I, although I DVR it because its 1.5 hours and all I want is the blitz. But it just isn’t the same, the segments are all broken up, the SC anchors do some of the highlights. It was the greatest show ever, no garbage, just football, Berman, and TJ.
January 31st, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Wondering what Dana Jacobson was thinking when she saw this. She obviously learned from it. (JESUS!!!!!!!!)
January 31st, 2008 at 1:58 pm
I can’t stand Berman because he brings nothing new to the table, rests on his laurels, and still thinks he’s funny. If he brought his schtick to an audition, he’d never make it.
January 31st, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Holy hell this is HILARIOUS. A++++++++++
Bert Blyleven approves.
January 31st, 2008 at 2:03 pm
I don’t necessarily disagree with him getting annoyed about whatever shennanigans were going on behind the camera, but to ramble and rail for more than a minute about it? He obviously needs the comforts of more leather…
January 31st, 2008 at 2:06 pm
While I guess I can’t really argue with that Wilhelm, what “new thing” do you want in a highlight show? All the new stuff they try sucks, 5 man booths, 12 man pregame show, the ultimate hightlight, the halftime highlights with bad camera angles and weird coloring.
Next up, Emmitt Smith clubs a baby seal while Keyshawn raps the highlight. Thats why NFL PT was great, no crap, just football.
January 31st, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Cool Rick wasted no time with the most accurate comment of the day.
January 31st, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Nobody told him a monster had just knocked the head off of the Statue of Liberty?
January 31st, 2008 at 2:24 pm
I guess you have to go to Brown to learn those life-lessons
I haven’t seen that much misguided anger on television since Jim Halpert hide Andy Bernard’s phone in the ceiling tiles.
January 31st, 2008 at 2:25 pm
“This is BUSH LEAGUE!!!”

January 31st, 2008 at 2:33 pm
reminds me of one of norman chad’s best lines:
“The only reason Chris Berman got into Brown was there was a hole in the fence near the chemisty lab.”
January 31st, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Wow, somebody was obviously hung over that day (and may or may not have been having some ‘hair of the dog’).
Something tells me Dan Rather never did this…
So.. um… cue the Rather footage.
January 31st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
It just seems to me that the blogosphere rips on guys who don’t have schtick (Mike Tirico)…and then someone like Berman gets ripped b/c people think it’s gotten old. There’s no re-inventing yourself as an anchor…there just isn’t.
And for the moron who said he wouldn’t even get an audition, you just have no clue. I’m not the biggest fan of Berman, but he has a gigantic following and he is one-of-a-kind.
January 31st, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Chris - what did I do, big guy?
January 31st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
He’s taking … to … the … WHAT THE FUCK?!! Why is Salisbury naked again?
January 31st, 2008 at 4:16 pm
“He…could…go…completely…fucking…nuts!”
Best clip evah
January 31st, 2008 at 4:58 pm
I was hoping for white hot rage and all I got was a hissy fit.
January 31st, 2008 at 4:59 pm
He seems angry.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:06 pm
l.o.l. Awesomeness.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Reminds me of Imus. Except Imus isn’t affraid to do it while actually live on TV. Minus the “fucks” of course.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Chris Berman went to my high school (obviously, like 20 years before I graduated).
I’m so proud.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:47 pm
@Dornoch- years ago, I heard Imus have one of his fits when he thought the mics were off, and that was the day I realized he hadn’t changed one iota since I first heard him in the 60s.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Oh, and he was using “fuck” and “shit” quite liberally.
February 1st, 2008 at 7:45 pm
LMFAO!!
