I rarely listen to any football games, but this douche damn near ruined the US Open with his commentating. God awful. Eat a salad or get a Rex lapband you pig.

Evict the Chargers? The raiduhs couldn’t even beat them at home with the playoffs on the line.

Berman has been far past annoying the past 10 years. Since then he has been unbearable. Since NFL Network, I don’t watch BSPN at all. It would be difficult listening to him for an entire game with his well worn diatribe of tired rhetoric.

I would listen to Berman read a phone book before listening to another NFL game called by Tony Kornheiser. And I hate Berman!

Like I really need another reason to never watch that stupid BSPN network again.

Thank God that DirecTV gives us other channels to watch when that stupid network covers golf majors. There is nothing more excruciating than listening to that fat POS try to announce a golf telecast.

And now they choose to ruin the first week of football…gee thanks BSPN. The network of turds.

Espn should read this feedback on Berman. He jumped the shark long ago. During last weeks US Open, he must have thought it was the Chris Berman show interrupted by the occasional golf shot. How many times did we hear I-O-U for the bunkers on 18? Once was too many. He’s in love with his own voice.

Maybe Berman will channel his inner Howard Cosell and at least be interesting.

Cool! It will be a lopsided game, with the Chargers winning by 3+ touchdowns, but Berman will make it interesting.

========

Still not over that smack down Palmer and Denarious Moore laid on you at Qualcomm, and the sweep the previous year?

The window has closed Charger fan, the rightful landlords are coming back and fixing to evict you frauds.

Berman makes whatever show he’s on totally unwatchable. Had the sound muted during US Open on espn last week.

Berman’s not that bad. Plus it’ll be funny to see him get his feelings hurt when Oakland rolls over the Chargers to start the season. “Just win, baby”.

@MRMORTON – It would be ok to have Stuart Scott as long as I don’t have to look at him….SVP I could definitely live with.

I’m kind of shocked at the hatred for Berman on here. By the comments I would be interested to see who the consensus pick would be to call games. So far its piss and moan from everyone here on anybody who has ever called a game for espn. Maybe they could get Stuart Scott and Van Pelt (my personal favs) or would they suck as well???

Berman is the worst announcer in the history of broadcasting. His “schtick” grew old 15 years ago. If I happen to be watching ESPN, and Berman comes on for any reason, it’s switch to another channel.

ESPN could be a great network but they insist upon Berman being the face of the network. It kills me when ESPN broadcasts the Master’s, and the other majors, and Berman is allowed to do”play-by-play.” The greatest golf events each year are spoiled by this doofus. Get rid of the idiot NOW!!!!!!!

Why do people hate on Chris Berman so much? Am I missing something? I love listening to him do the 2 minute drill.

This guy is so stale. It’s been 20 years since Berman has come up with new material. He, along with all the ESPN clones make me want to puke

One of the nicest people Ive ever met. And he does a lot of charity stuff too.

I know he had that big blow up on that you tube leak, and I will agree hes not the best or the most soothing to listen to, but i feel like some people are being too harsh. Good guy!

Chris will eschew the microphone and just use a megaphone to reach his listeners across the nation.

Ok, put Berman and Gruden in front of two mics and a camera and use that for your pregame promos but never plug in the mics. Then have any other team do the actual vocies. ESPN ratings will skyrocket

My sense is that Berman is a bit of a douche in real life, but for my money there has never been a better sports highlight show, thanks to him and the awesome soundtrack, than the old Sunday night ESPN NFL Primetime.

I’ll give him a shot. No way can he possibly approach the levels of ineptness continuously reached by Kornheiser.

And Dilfer is one of the best up and coming analysts in my mind. He really does call things as he sees them and offers original, insightful takes, whereas others tend to simply regurgitate what everyone else is saying.

Don’t like Berman, but Tirico is the worst MNF play-by-play man ever. Check that, the worst play-by-play man period.

AHHH and they took away Jaworski???

Please no. Does ESPN do any kind of marketing research? I don’t know a single person who enjoys anything with Chris Berman commentating.

Why? This guy is terrible he’s not funny & he’s become a characature of himself. Why is this guy even on t.v. anymore? He always seems to be weasling his way in and stealing some other commentators thunder.He’s a bumb fire his ass already!
