Chris Berman to call the 2nd MNF game this season...

[DeeJay]

Whoever score the most points wins the game - John Madden

HE COULD GO ALL THE WAY!! - Chris Berman

Put them both together for one night so many jokes could come of this!

I actually liked Madden, he knew football... he was a blubbering idiot sometimes, but he could call the game. Berman is just loud and annoying and goes off on crazy tangents... that is ok when you're doing a highlight show or SportCenter, but not when you're calling a game or commentating on the US Open.

Look at it this way, at least it's not Tory Holt

"athletic-cism"

I started the thread? Really? No poo Sherlock...

No I don't expect everyone to agree with me... but is it too much to ask that you not be a dick in every post you make, because you're damn good at that.

I don't know wtf you are, but Bully used to be a decent poster but every post you and he make now is some snarky retort like you're better than the rest of us... if you don't like what people post, you're entitled to say so, but you don't have to be an asshole about it.

Good grief

Berman is one of the better color commentators, I dont get the issue.

[Khaki Lackey]

I don't hate Berman. Sports highlights are a perfect venue for his enthusiasm and they don't give home the opportunity for long winded tangents. I think when he does football, he's slightly irritating, but oh wee, that golf coverage was unbearable, mayne.

errr, if you are watching on TV, you have no choice but to listen to the commentary. Watching on mute is just stupid. Everyone is watching because we are fans, and just because we want decent commentary (since there has to be commentary) that doesn't mean we are watching for the wrong reason.

When we disagree, let us just disagree. Don't come up with stupid bullshit that doesn't make sense.

i just don't understand why it's that big of a deal to some of you guys.

I don't understand why you guys think it's a "big deal"... there's nothing anybody can do about it. Some of us just don't care for Berman... I don't really like his antics on SportCenter or the other shows he does... I know I won't like it for a whole game.

I'll still watch because I love the game, but I just don't get with the talented guys they have why pick Berman?

it's probably just because he's well known. one of the most recognizable voices.

Probably true... but there's no denying that there's a LOT of better people they could have chosen.

Mortenson, Schlereth, John Anderson, Stan Verrett... hell Greenberg or Stuart Scott could do better than Berman imo.

[Dpantherman]

Its not a big deal per se, but its a horrible deicison.
