    Why is Chris Berman Commentating?

    He is an in studio announcer, not a live game commentator.

    He's awful...doesn't inform us about anything about the play. He just moves on and tells a dumbass story.

    Correctly prescribed and correctly taken prescription pills is the second leading cause of death in Canada. I never take pills.

    Its too bad espn tries to ruin the enjoyment of watching this game by having these two fucktards announce it. Dilfer is just as horrible as Berman.

    Baffled on how his 1990's schtick still plays enough to remain employed. Guy should be the Buffalo Bills announcer. Surprised he hasn't blown Jim Kelly on air yet tonight.

    Their attempt to discuss the Ray Rice issue was an embarrassment.

    Chris Berman reminds me of Pat Summeral at the end of Pat's career. Literally has no idea what is going on during the game.

    Don't see what big deal is. People were being disrespectful, when he was going on air. Which is the point of everyone being there. I'd scream at people too. But I'm not a sensitive pussy like most people are these days. Someone has to tell it like it is.

    Anyone catch the segment in the 2nd quarter.....Arizona was marked down by contact right before the first down marker on a 3rd down play. San Diego calls a timeout right before the 4th down punt for an unrelated reason and during the timeout Berman is rambling about how they are getting a better look to possibly challenge by calling the timeout.

    It was a very bizzare minute or so because it made zero sense. San Diego called the timeout so what the fukk could they possibly be trying to challenge?? Trent Dilfer tried to correct him subtly but Berman didn't catch on and Dilfer stayed silent for the rest of the timeout as Berman continued to bury himself

    Bottom line, he's awful

    Completely missed the timeout. Ramble on and miss the biggest call of the game.

    Yeah but when you have people that know what they're talking about it makes the game more enjoyable.

    Berman sucks. His act is old. If I here that fat ass say back, back, back one more time...

    The guy and the network is a joke. Soon as Dilfer said there would be lots of scoring tonight I knew we were in for a snooze fest and the game was going under. Never listen to espn or anyone in the media when gambling. They are in on the agenda and are purposely steering you in the wrong direction. Whether it be TNT or whatever; never listen to them.
