I like Chris Berman...for football.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I'm not a Berman fan. Not hard to tune him out though. My wife's been yapping for 45 minutes so it's hard to hear him

Yeah he tries to be comical but it never is funny...

Not a Berman fan, either. He's OK in football, nothing special, but for golf, someone give me the T.V. remote for the MUTE button. Maltbie and Andy North are fine. Along with Rolfing. I don't have a problem with them. Berman kills it though since he's ALWAYS talking!!!

I LOVED Berman while I was in college in the late 90s. NFL primetime with he and Tom Jackson was my favorite show on TV.

Now, I can't even stand him for NFL football. The guy is washed up, and thinks he is larger than life. Therefore, he doesn't properly prepare anymore, he goes out and wings it using the same tired lines and trying to make a narrative out of absolutely everything. For other sports like baseball and golf, its even worse because those were never his strong points. The big problem is that he is God at ESPN, being one of the originals, so he seems to get to call whatever he wants to, and no one with any association with ESPN is allowed to critique him.

The sad part is that Mike Tirico is a play by play guy that KNOWS golf, and should have been in the booth. He and Scott VanPelt would have made a very capable crew for ESPN, but fatso Berman had to throw his weight around and take the seat.

For all of those Johnny Miller haters, I hope you took note of the two different broadcasts today.

lol fescue club was a joke because one of the other guys called it the rescue club and he was in the fescue so....... it was a stupid joke but whatever.

They aren't that bad on the whole, though I do prefer NBC. JM isn't that bad. sometimes he says some stupid things but who doesn't?

Chris Bermann just said this: "

He was referring to when Weir hit a good shot with his hybrid in the fescue the time before(more or less asking if that was the same club). Give them a break the coverage is good.
