You may have already seen this at Deadspin or The Big Lead or Pro Football Talk, but it's so amusing that we can't pass it up here. It's Chris Berman, thinking he's not on camera and getting furious with someone off camera. And it's very, very profane:
I have no idea who Berman is mad at or why this is surfacing now when it's apparently eight years old. But it sure is funny, especially when Berman appears to calm down, says, "I'm sorry to explode like that," and then proceeds to swear some more.

1. Nope. No ego on that guy, there. None at all.

2. Berman is a complete jerk. He appears to the one that has never worked on TV. ESPN is sucking more and more with these so-called, sports experts. He looks like half the time he dosent know what he is talking about anyway. But i suppose because he probably has more time that anyone else at ESPN, they will just look the other way. It they suspended the host of First take for her comments last week. Berman should be suspended for the Super Bowl. He really showed his true self. He certianly has a inflated view of himself.

3. This is indeed funny, yet sad that he comes across as such a jerk to his co-workers who he obviously has no respect for. Bet ESPN brass just love this surfacing around the world now given the fires were just subsiding around the Dana Jacobson bigot comments. Speaks to a great culture at ESPN - over the top foul mouth is a requisite for employment for some there.

6. I loved it. To me, it made him more human. I especially love when he pounds the silver bullet at the end. Word.

7. Berman is, and has been, an assclown for quite the while. His ego has been out of control for some time and this verifies it was out of control 8 years ago already.

8. He's got a point, he must work with alot if interns. People that work behind the camera are usually underachievers that don't know their head from their as$. You go Berman, give them everything they deserve. Then go home and kiss your mom with that mouth.

9. I like Berman in this clip. I can identify with him. He's on camera and a bunch of stage hands and goofs are walking around distracting him. I think it's great. They need to hold still. He seems very justified to me.

15. Berman is a nice guy i think, none of you guys on here can say you havent ever been pissed off, and swore. its cool to see Berman like that though

16. Jews (Berman, Jacobson et al) have no respect for Christianity, Christians or Jesus Christ... why does America support them so much?

17. You're with me...temper?

18. And if the guy above me commenting about Jews not respecting Christians is still around, Jesus was, shockingly, Jewish. Also, not American. Feel free to delete this if his insane racist/xenophobic rant was deleted.

19. I thought it was hysterical!! Everybody lighten up and see it for what it is...Chris in a rant, swigging a Coors Light (that's prolly his problem) So he's working with idiots and a beer with no taste. I'd be pissed too !!! Remember: "Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills"....

20. I agree with Martin.
