These Chris Berman videos that a former ESPN employee is posting on YouTube are an endless source of amusement. In the latest, Berman seems to be practicing his halftime interaction with Al Michaels, and then at the very end, he uses an obscenity to refer to Michaels:
Former Monday Night Football commentator Boomer Esiason left the broadcast in large part because he couldn't get along with Michaels, the longtime MNF play-by-play man. Is it possible that Esiason isn't the only Boomer who couldn't see eye-to-eye with Michaels?

9. Chris Berman is a loud mouth slob. Don't know his butt from a hole in the ground. ESPN must be really hard up to have guy's like him and Kornheiser. Every time I wipe my buttt i think of the both of them and then flush them after I'm done.

10. Al Michaels is a thousand time better as a sportscaster than Berman. Berman's idiot calls during the MLB All-Star Homerun contest proves he's an imbecile.

11. Chris Berman may be a little blunt but he is right, Al Michaels is a nauseating fool. I honestly have to change channels when I hear his whiney voice. Maybe Al will call it quits, "Do you believe in miracles?"

12. As I said before....ESPN is getting rid of the female commentators and keeping this idiotic lodmouthed ignorant tub of guts????? How smart is ESPN???? I change the channel as soon as that ass appears. HELLO_ESPN....get a clue!!!! You are owned by Disney-why isn't Disney stepping in a saying "you don't follow our rules-you are gone"? They do it to plenty of other people in their employ....for things as simple as hair too long.

13. I agree with Chris Berman, Al Michaels is impossible to work with. There is absolutely no chemistry between Michaels and John Madden. Madden is the best color guy who gets along with everyone.

14. Both Al and Chris are obnoxios,arrogant pricks!....WHOOOP

15. ESPN & all its employees are passe. Keith O. is God !

16. gititrite you're a little slow I guess read the caption and think for one second before you blog they're referencing Esiason as not being the only "boomer" that has a problem with Michaels...hello wake up and read the entire caption in context

17. Read the whole cation under the picture, git-it-rite, before you make your comments. It isn't saying that it is Boomer Esiason. Besides, anybody knows that that is Chris Berman. Keep reading next time.

18. You know what, there are way to many haters out there. Pay attention to these video's, they are all being taken out of context. What makes Chris Berman likeable is that he is a regular guy and even his last comment was obviously in jest. Every one of the videos that have been posted confirms that this is a real person, not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and that is what we like about Chris Berman. He gets it, which is more than I can say for the haters. Michael David Smith (who wrote the article) it is a shame you cannot see this as well. As a journalist, be different, look through the bs and call it as it is. This is obviously someone digging deep to make someone look bad, which if someone has any brain they can see through the bs and know that this person doesn't get it (life in general) and probably is playing an angle.

19. I saw Al, Dan and Frank in the lobby of a hotel in Philly when they were there to do a game. Dan and Frank were awesome. They stopped and talked with everyone in the lobby. Al, on the other hand, just kept walking and ignored every hello and wave that came his way. I mean he didnt even acknowledge any of the people there. He is an F-Head, Chris was absolutely right.

20. Hey!! When you are right- you are right Michaels is a dummy with an annoying voice and a jock sniffer, who doesn't understand what he is talking about most of the time!
