Aw man, that’s harsh. The 23-year-old John David Booty. I’m rooting against him ever playing, because Chris Berman would be so gleeful about the pun possibilities attached to Booty’s name that Berman might have a heart attack. On second thought, I now have a reason to root for John David Booty. Perhaps Mr. Souhan is the Star Trib’s resident [...]

ESPN's Chris Berman on the Ravens' Joe Flacco: "Talking to John Harbaugh, coach of the Ravens, he said that Cam Cameron told him that he has put more in in eight weeks with Flacco than he’s ever put in eight weeks with anyone else. That’s saying something. And that Flacco has the skin of an armadillo … stuff just rolls off.”

First thing first: Anyone who knows ESPN’s Chris Berman has one question about his interview with presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama scheduled to run at halftime tonight on “Monday Night Football” — what nicknames will he come up with for these two? Berman is known for his colorful nicknames of athletes. Those [...]

Photo: ESPN In what we hope does not become a custom in American politics, the last big, nationally televised interviews of both candidates fell to ESPN’s Chris Berman last night. He asked them nearly identical questions, gave them a chance to boast about their respective first-place NFL teams, and mercifully didn’t give either candidate a nickname. In all fairness, there was really...

Yeah, yeah, I agree; there's something clearly disturbing about Boomer being the last human to interview John McCain and Barack Obama before we all go to the polls today. But look on the bright side: The phrase "Barack and a hard place" was not uttered; Berman didn't lose it and scream at an intern; and we got a college football playoff out of the deal. David Frost and Richard Nixon this wasn't,...

... & Virginia. The big ones. The question now becomes . . . how serious, if at all, will sportscaster Chris Berman take the interview? Will it all be fluff or will he give the candidates a chance to address a serious issue or two? Since there has been no time to make any serious hit on Obama for his words on the coal industry, does McCain take a chance to address the issue for all of...

Spotted, prior to Game Two: ESPN’s Chris Berman going over his shtick, repeatedly (and loudly, apparently; loud enough that it prompted someone to not only email us about it, but take this photo) in the middle of Tropicana Field. They love this guy in Tampa (but not as much as Vitale). Philly? He might get a [...]

Because Esquire named Mike Nolan the 11th best dressed man in the World in 2007? Because one of Nolan’s first personnel decisions was to draft Alex Smith first overall in 2005, a bust of epic proportions who has no NFL future while two other first rounders, Aaron Rodgers and Jason Campbell, are starting and thriving?
