I posted this on another board, but thought I'd try as many outlets as possible:

I can't stand it anymore. This guy is the biggest hack on television. Give us the scores and highlights and save the amatuer hour stand-up routine for open-mike night at the Laugh Shack. This guy really thinks people are tuning in to see him.

I finally broke down and emailed ESPN with a complaint. Anyone who finds this guy as annoying as I do, please join the "Ban Berman" Movement:

Chris Berman is absolutely the worst sportscaster on air today. From his annoying sound effects to his tired nicknames, his schtick is worn out and completely unentertaining. People tune in to ESPN to see scores and highlights, not to see this has been stumble his way through another segment. Does he prepare at all, or is he ad-libbing his entire performance?

I now use tivo to pause the show and FF through his drivel. Please do your viewers a favor and put the old milk cow out to pasture. Thx

i like him

" He's not a hard man to track, he leaves dead men where ever he goes."

ESPN initially told him to stop with the nicknames but recinded because of viewer mail.

true story

i cant stand him either.

He annoys me too

I support boomer!

He is a pompous azz.

He's a nice guy, but his schtick does get old. Either way, he's an icon at ESPN. I don't like his style much, but I don't dislike him as much as you do.

i will not listen too him

He was used for the movie the Program in 1993...I think that's when he peaked

`boomer is a d-bag

I like him. Turn down the volume. Change the channel. Get a life.

I like it. It brings something else to the table. If you just want the information, and don't care for the presentation style...then just read it online.

going to espn for scores and stats is like ordering a pizza to get some tomato sauce. If you don't want the schtick with all the fun and games, go to yahoo sports and relish in your boringness.

I like Chris. He has heart.

he's no brian gumbel

WHOP!
