Chris Berman-isms

[The Doctor]

Yes a Cosellism. Obviously Chris was a big fan. Hopefully he stays away from one of the more infamous Cosellism "look at that little monkey go..."


Laughed openly at this one in last night's highlights:

Jake "daylight come and me wanna" Delhomme

"Country" Joe "and the" Fishback
"Foghorn" Langhorn

JACK "Pierre" Trudeau (when sacked, "lookin' more like Maggie")

 

[new2game]

Such a long list Fang...

...but didn't see my all time fav..

Detroit Lions kick returner Eddie "janitor in a" Drummond

Suprised that some politically correct dickwad hasn't been all over Berman for that one...

This was good to read again...

I don't know if the thread says more about Berman or Fang.

Some other favs:

Lido 'Shuffle' Sheppard. After the Eagles saftey intercepted a pass, Berman & Jackson break into the chorus... "And look at that interception by Lido 'Shuffle' Sheppard. It's 1976 & boz Scaggs....Liddddo whao whao whao whaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

After Jeff George threw a terible pick... "Here's Jeff George looking more like Boy George"

He also refers the "The New York Football Giants" as "The G Men"

I always enjoy it when he says I had no idea he was paying homage to Howard Cosell until someone told me about a month ago. I knew "He could... go... all... the.. way" was a Cosellism, but I didn't know Cosell said that too.

He also refers the "The New York Football Giants" as "The G Men"

True and he refers to the other NY team as the "Football Jets" more often to paraphrase Cosell rather than quote him on the Giants.
