    Maybe he was, I dunno, but he was entertaining about 20 years ago when he started do the nicknames based off peoples' last names.

    Now, I wannna kill him every time he says "THEEEEEE RRRRRRRRAAAAAAIIIIIIIIDAS!!!" or anything similar and his nicknames have just gotten horrible.

    i really don't get why people hate him so much ... i really don't ... because he acts quirky?

    he has his schtick and he does it... but at least it's his

    i find him amusing


    do you really hate him or do you enjoy hating him?

    I know a lot of people hate Chris Berman (just like they hate Jay Leno) but I've always enjoyed him on NFL Primetime. He does the highlights MUCH better than Rich Eisen on NFL Network. Eisen sounds like a 13 year old going through puberty every time he tries to raise his voice during a highlight.

    Some of my favorite Berman nicknames:

    Joe "Don't bother me right now, I'm on the" Horn
    Jake "Daylight come and ya gotta" Delhomme
    Reggie "Stately Wayne Manor"

    And my own Bermanism:

    Deion "If I was a part of a tree I'd be a" Branch

    That one also works with Ryan Leaf.

    It was prolly seeing that vid of him throwing that huge condescending tantrum that pushed me towards disliking him, but at some point I just started gettin annoyed by him.
