This Quote Is Why Chris Berman Remains A Vile Piece Of Shit  I
haven't been able to peruse the new ESPN book yet, as Daulerio
and the others have, but I was struck dumb by a quote from the
book that was excerpted by Richard Deitsch over at This is what
Berman said in regard to the NFL forcing the network to cancel
its Playmakers series:  I'm a simple guy. I don't watch TV. I
don't go on the Internet. So I never watched Playmakers, but I
knew if the league was pissed, I probably should be pissed.  In
his upcoming review of the book for SI, Jack McCallum writes,
"Berman does not cover the NFL; he is the NFL," which makes me
want to go hit a puppy with a hammer. Berman isn't the NFL.
Berman isn't even close to being the NFL. The fucking NFL will
live on for centuries after that fat piece of shit chokes to
death on a baby back rib. Berman only THINKS he's the NFL, which
is why he sucks.  Let's break down the full quote, which manages
to pack so much awfulness into one tidy little space. Look at
this goddamn thing
