Chris Berman the Greatest Highlight Man ever: Would it be Jimmy "I'm not a" Crooks!!!

[BrummerStealsHome]

While a lot of Berman-isms were pretty dumb, there were some pretty creative ones:

Bernard "Innocent until proven" Gilkey
Darryl "Green Eggs &" Hamilton
Jeff Conine "The Barbarian"
Roberto "Remember the " Alomar
Jeff "See Through" Blauser
Scott "Supercalifragalisticexpliala" Brosius
Eric “Sleeping with” Bienemy
Scott “Rockin’” Rolen…ok maybe not the most creative, but as my favorite Cardinal of the time, I kind of liked it!

Ha!
Daryl "Rhubarb" Strawberry!!

And my personal favorite, Oddibe "Young Again" McDowell.

Berman was a treasure for a while, then got too full of himself, in part because ESPN got too full of itself but that's another story. People forget that before Keith Olbermann became a nasty, bitter man he was very funny as the host of SportCenter. He was the Chandler Bing of ESPN.

Oh, Eddie "Eat, Drink and be" Murray!!

Oh yeah, forgot about those! I think we might be the only ones with any appreciation for this thread though lol! Didn’t know Berman was so hated??

Can't believe Berman being hated.
What the heck did he ever do?
I thought he was a nice guy.
I never thought of him as annoying.
Steven A. Smith, another story.

Yes, I remember that one now!!
Great one.
Maybe the best.
I think he already used "I'm not a Crook" on Kruk.
So, Jimmy Crooks will have to change.

I remember him starting this in the late 80's.
I thought so anyway.
Of course, it all filtered into the 1990's.
I'll have to check when Berman started with ESPN.

and it got old... quick

It never did for me.
But I was a kid back then.
I loved watching Chris.

I was kid in the 80s/90s too and I liked them. But I didn't follow SC or BBTN much into the later 90s or 2000s.

Berman is now a bad impression of himself. So annoying.

He was terrible at the Home Run Derby. "back back back back back back back back back back back"

A hot dog shoved in the back of his throat so he'd S-T-F-U would have made it more enjoyable.

Man that was annoying. Ruined me being able to listen to anything he did after that.

I can hear that duck quack now, "Back back back..." Bleh!
