All those Chris Berman videos that have entertained tens of thousands of YouTube viewers in the last week have come to an end, as the videos are no longer available on YouTube. Via e-mail, I asked ESPN Vice President of Public Relations Josh Krulewitz to explain. He sent me this reply:We routinely request content to be taken down from youtube and did in this case. The copyright is owned by our company.The videos, which apparently came from the 2000 NFL season, showed Berman going on a profane tirade about problems on the set of the Monday Night Football halftime show that he hosted, talking about smuggling over-the-counter Canadian drugs into the United States, trying to get a table for some friends at a restaurant, insulting Al Michaels and talking to a colleague about a bottle of wine he bought her. They were fun while they lasted.

1. Someone is obviously out to get Chris Berman and it can be argued by unfair practices . Regardless even if this only depicts how Berman is 1% of the time it was caught on tape. An icon of Berman's stature and experience should be aware that the camera is always rolling and the mike is always live .In the court of public opinion Boomer is going to tske a hit .
