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

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

Chris Berman was a known scumball egomaniac. And he wasn't half as funny as he thought he was.

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!

Always wanted to see an episode on Family Guy of Stewie Griffen hitting that buffoon over the head with a bat and shuting him up.

And all it did was open up a Pandora's box of local sportscasters doing the same boring thing.

I’ll admit, that was extremely annoying!
