realitypolice says: “”Darkie”. LMAO. People still say “darkie”? Gotta hand it to you- most people on here at least try to cloak their racism with vague references, but not you. You just come right out there with “darkie”, Cletus. Awesome. Good to know there are still people like you around to make the rest of us look a little less ignorant.
Are you too stupid to know that they call you “whitey” all the time? And yes, you are a racist.

I’m really really late to this party, so no one will read what I’m typing. Hey … there’s a certain freedom in that
Why do people keep saying RedZone is a DirecTV channel? I have RedZone in my Comcast sports tier. It’s an NFL channel.
Drednot, the only workers who have contracts are the ones companies are terrified will go work somewhere else: broadcasters, writers, actors, athletes. The rest of us are expendable.
I like Berman, Tom Jackson, and Stuart Scott at ESPN. Berman will probably stay where he’s top dog. Don’t want him going near the NFL Network if it means uprooting Rich Eisen. Love Rich Eisen.

Please don’t let Chris Berman fall into the BLACK HOLE of the NFL Channel, too!
For crying out loud… Brighthouse doesn’t offer the NFL channel and I can’t even buy it from them! The Senate needs to investigate the NFL’s monopolistic control of the NFL channel. This is ridiculous!
The NFL Channel SUCKS!

If there was ever a reason NOT to get the Red Zone channel, this would be it.
And please don’t refer to the 4-letter as the World Wide Leader. That’s disgusting.

Time Warner will NEVER get NFL network because of the money, so I’ve been told. If they get Berman, I wonder if it will be a more legitimate network…maybe it already is. Quite frankly it’s off my radar since I only get bootlegged games off the internet rather than the network itself.

This seems kind of like that ackward time with the hall of fame player at the end of their career with the team that drafted them demanding a little more money than they should, forcing the team to make a decision based on the past versus the realities of the financial viability moving forward.
He is an ESPN icon though and both probably are more valuble together than apart. His schtick may be a bit old, but he is comfortable. I’m not sure he’d want to be just a football guy, and I thought the NFL Network was cost cutting.

He’zzz a rummblin bumblin bozo.
I’ve got an idea, NFL should have him and Beno Cook do a post game show.
Dimentia Primetime Live
Where Sean Salisbury wipes the chin of our hosts while they drool on themselves.
Wait…was that actually a complete sentence I heard?

Amazing… just amazing… it’s just unbelievable how ignorant, brainless, deficient, half-witted, meaningless, mindless, pointless, and senseless some of you people must be. Where does all of this hatred come from? Whom or what do you blame? Berman? Really? REALLY? It’s all just entertainment folks! Seriously… take a look at your life.

What an obnoxious, pious, sancitmonious ass you are. I am so sick of people making posts like this. What is wrong with people criticizing Chris Berman for christ’s sake? I’ll admit that some people take it too far, but expressing legitimate criticisms of a public personality’s work doesn’t automatically make anyone any of the things you list.
Maybe, you should take a look at your life if you need to validate your self-importance with post like that one.

Chris Berman hasn’t changed his act in over 20 years. His nicknames are stupid, he is ridiculously slow on highlights, loses his train of thought mid-sentence, and seriously, seriously, needs to go away.
If he goes to the NFL Network, there will finally being something positive to take out of Cablevision’s ongoing refusal to carry it.

The NFL Network has a good thing going with their current guys, anything that would take Rich, Prime, and Co. off the air would be brutal, especially with Boomer being the replacement. I don’t mind his shtick, but it doesn’t fit with the NFL Network lineup.

Please go to NFL Network and take Dickie V. with you! Tires acts for both of them.

trying to figure out what jumped the shark more: Berman or ESPN. Watching Berman was kind of like the rubix cube…..the first few times were great…..it then got very tired & then ignored.

I forgot to add – I saw his “routine” on YouTube and just exactly how he treats other people – disgusting!

Give him Jamie Duke’s spot. He’s slightly less annoying, and that’s a big step in the right direction.

Berman wore out his welcome with me years ago. I haven’t watched the NFL Draft on ESPN ever since I started receiving the NFL Network – and it’s all because of Berman. ESPN would do well to let him walk – change and perhaps a new star might do them a lot of good.

Please hire him and get him off of ESPN. He is so f’ing annoying.

Berman on the MLB Network…HAHAHAHHAHA!! They actually hire talented analysts, not fat windbags who are only in it for money and fame.

Berman is a freaking joke. He’s not a professional broadcaster, he’s a self-absorbed buffoon. The NFL draft is unwatchable because Berman won’t STFU.
I’ll be ESPN’s biggest fan if I don’t have to see his sorry ass catching a pass in a Bucs jersey back in the day, or eating a philly cheesesteak back in the day, or some other dumbass clip of him that has absolutely no relevance to what he’s talking about. Or have him ruin the first two rounds of the US Open…. “Roger ‘Chocolate Maltby…”
I can’t stand him. I hope he gets mauled by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day.

Berman sucks. Hopefully he is gone and gone quick. He stole the thunder from Karl Ravich who covered the world series until Berman’s fat ass wanted to have some of the lime light. He is a worthless piece of sh*t who started with ESPN and really adds nothing to it now. He stole back back back back back from Howard Cosell and we have all heard his off air tirades on his coworkers. I hope he lands on some network that is never watched because he sucks at everything he does. ESPN would be better without his worthless ass.

If he goes to NFL Network, would even more of his hair suddenly “grow back”?
He’s gonna be sporting an afro by next season.

Pardon my ignorance…why do broadcasters have contracts? I work a full time job and i don’t have a contract. What other jobs have contracts?
