I can back this up 100%. As I have mentioned before I work for ESPN. Had the priveldge of working the Redskins/Vikings Monday Night Football in Week 1. My crew was on the outside set where all the Cold Pizza hits and every thing were taken from in the parking lot. Steve Young, Michael Irvin, Tom Jackson and Chris Berman were all there. Im not sure if Steve was having a bad day but he seemed like the biggest prick and he is one of my favorite players. But Berman is genuine he is an amazing guy and also is a lot goofier then expected. He is like 6-4 220. The guy is just tall and odd shaped. But did not hesistate to show up the respect we deserve at work and was a complete class act. Just figure I would back you up. Youth?
You just dashed all his hopes and dreams. He can no longer claim being the first one to call him that. And, quite honestly, none of these nicknames is exactly a stretch of the imagination.
Thats pretty cool man...I don't really get the nickname...you'd really have to make some serious connections to understand it, especially if you're not from NYC, but I do remember you saying it and it is pretty cool that it was used....
Oh boy. On a Sunday morning, well anytime for that matter, I don't want to be thinking about Cotchery and Berman doin' it.
Ha! From Deadspin: A friend of mine just told me he's getting married. When he gave me the news I immediately thought of the time we were in Scottsdale at spring training, because it's the best pickup story I've ever been a party to. It was about nine years ago, and I actually forget the bar. But my friend was seriously putting the moves on this somewhat attractive young woman, who was wearing leather pants and had a leather jacket draped over her lap. They had been chatting at the bar for about an hour, and my friend thought he was in the house. I had never seen someone work so hard for a score. But just as he was putting on the finishing touches, Chris Berman walks by. And without even breaking stride, Berman looks at the girl, points and says "You're with me, leather." And the girl looks up, instantly recognizes Berman, snatches up her jacket and walks out with him, leaving my friend in mid-sentence. http://www.deadspin.com/sports/espn/youre-with-me-leather-166570.php http://deadspin.com/sports/chris-berman/he-could-go-all-the-way-166410.php TBTF
I don't care for his on-air work, but this is really nice to hear. Maybe I'll cut him some slack in the future.
