We Couldn’t Resist
ESPN, Video February 1st. 2008, 9:10amGoing to post this for a second straight day because let’s say you had a crummy commute to work, and then you reached your office, where a sizable pile of TPS reports awaits you. You want to talk LOST and the Super Bowl, not actual work! The karmic Gods needed you to know something: They taketh away (no Dana Jacobson video) and giveth (this). Again, props to Deadspin for finding this instant classic.
Fear not, there will be no more repetition for the day.

Look! It’s an asshole!

youre with me, leather.

I wonder if, at the end, he’s trying to go into his happy place to calm down- “Brett Favre in leather pants, Brett Favre in leather pants, Brett Favre in leather pants.”

This video is everywhere. The Junkies AND Elliot were both talking about it this morning on their radio shows. The funny thing about it is that neither show mentioned Deadspin or TBL. They both claimed Sports By Brooks and another blog I have never heard of.

Consipiracy theory of the day: It was Hurley who walked across the set.
February 1st, 2008 at 9:22 am
I thought Jews don’t believe in Jesus?
Poor Berman, how is he going to get into his rumblin-bumblin-stumblin schtick with people ducking under the camera? Don’t you people know that such genius needs total concentration??!!

@jgp–I think Berman is Jacob.
February 1st, 2008 at 9:23 am
Too bad he’s not in the casket
February 1st, 2008 at 9:24 am
No way. John Clayton = Jacob.
February 1st, 2008 at 9:25 am
I mean JESUS.

As Desmond would say to Berman: You need to relax, BROTHER.
February 1st, 2008 at 9:28 am
Berman = Douchebag.

Clayton seems more like a Ben-type to me…
February 1st, 2008 at 9:30 am
Chris Berman, forever immortalized. I don’t know how I managed to wait this long, but that’s the first time I’ve seen that clip.
February 1st, 2008 at 9:36 am
Desmond needs to go to ESPN and start having visions. Relax, it’s a joke.
February 1st, 2008 at 9:39 am
I don’t want to break down and go to the fan sites, but I still can’t understand why the other guy at the nut farm could see dead Charlie.

Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam?
February 1st, 2008 at 9:39 am
What the hell was the Deputy Ops doing there?
February 1st, 2008 at 9:40 am
@JGP–there’s actually some good stuff on the fan sites–like Jack’s dad, Christian Shepherd, was the “Jacob” that Hurley saw last night…freaky stuff.

I’m with CRM…seeing Daniels there threw that entire scene for me because I started thinking about how I was going to post about it and then was trying to decide how to abbreviate his title since he’s no longer Lt. or Col. Daniels
I want to see Omar come over on that boat and start hunting down the survivors while whistling “Farmer in the Dell”

The cheese stand alone
February 1st, 2008 at 9:52 am
Remember back in the day when you were a teenager and couldnt wait to watch BBTN and hear another nickname from Berman ? Bert Be Home Blyleven, Von Purple Hayes, Kevin No Maas. Boy, those were the days.
Let’s cut him some slack.

Carlos One if by land, Two if by Sea, Three if Baerga.

Gonzo, the names have never been more than mildly amusing at best, a God-awful schtick at worst. I honestly believe that there hasn’t been a show he’s been on that he’s made better, even Primetime, heresy though that may be to say.

Jay Touchy Feeley
February 1st, 2008 at 9:58 am
Ben, the chemistry between him and Tom Jackson was priceless. Not so much now, but back in the early 90’s. It was the ONLY show you could go to for highlights of the day, and they were terrific. So, I have to differ with you there.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:01 am
Gonzo–I think that’s the point of a lot of people who knock Berman…you’re referring to stuff from 10+ years ago. He hasn’t done anything new since “Ben Winter Coates” it seems. It’s just a tired act.

Donnie “Abraham, Martin, and John”
Seriously, I am a classic rock/pop buff, and I still couldn’t tell you how that song went.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:14 am
Jay “Hear me, Touch me, FEEELY”! I’m probably one of the 10 Who fans who get that, and it’s still retarded and hackneyed.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:23 am
I didn’t know there was anything to get, I thought he was calling Jay Feeley a pedohphile.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:29 am
PC loadletter jam- what the fuck does that mean?
February 1st, 2008 at 11:14 am
Berman continues to amaze when he says “The New York Football Giants”, forgetting the fact that the New York Baseball Giants left for San Francisco 50 years ago.
Keep it real Chris. They actually showed that awful bit where he was “Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona”
Just shoot me.
February 1st, 2008 at 11:55 am
@IUgrad
Not to be ‘that guy’ but someone brought this up on another blog the other day and apparently ‘New York Football Giants’ is the official name of the team and appears on all legal documents, etc from the team. Wish I had a link to prove that, but I’m too lazy to look for one.
February 1st, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Berman >> all others. Even his blowup was hilarious.
February 1st, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Anyone who has worked with incompetent, unprofessional people can totally understand what he’s going through there. I barely watch ESPN at all anymore, but I can appreciate a professional trying to do his best for the viewers and fans and for his professional reputation. And when he gets in front of that camera Berman is a knowledgeable and fairly entertaining professional.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Good god! You’d think he was on the verge of curing cancer when people started moving around and totally blew his concentration. And, now, the cure is…maybe lost forever.
Chris, my boy, you get paid huge dollars to do the same shit that was fresh 15 years ago. As Serrano said in “Midnight Run”, “Relax. Have a cream soda.”
