SportsTranscript
00:00It's a crisp autumn afternoon.
00:02Good evening once again, everybody. I'm Chris Berman.
00:04Welcome to ESPN's debut of NFL Primetime.
00:08You've worked hard all weekend.
00:10It's Sunday.
00:11If it's a Sunday afternoon, then it must be baseball.
00:13I mean, football. I mean, what is it?
00:15You got football from sunup to sundown.
00:19He knows nothing. He sees something. It's the end zone.
00:23And yes, this was in the olden days,
00:26before they used to broadcast it as hours of commercial-free football.
00:31Now you don't even have that.
00:32Williams in the back of the end zone.
00:34Three times Cunningham to Williams and the Eagles.
00:37Coat-tied ecstatic.
00:38And when I think football, it's with this voice.
00:41NFL Primetime in 89 finds Jerry Rice and the San Francisco 49ers
00:45picking up right where they left off.
00:47As for the Bengals, they ran smack into Mike Hickness' Bears.
00:49Jimmy Johnson finds out that the NFL is much different than college.
00:53Meanwhile, Vinny Tessaverde shows that this year is not last year.
00:57In Atlanta, Deion Deion is in primetime form already.
01:00Chris Berman, the last true football broadcaster.
01:06Hi, everybody. I'm Chris Berman.
01:07And you already know the name of the show.
01:09In fact, if you watch ESPN, you probably already knew that I'm Chris Berman.
01:13But if you don't watch ESPN, you'll have to take my word for it.
01:16Have I wasted too much time already?
01:17You see, we have a problem here.
01:19With this show, the problem isn't that we need more material.
01:21It's that we have too much of it.
01:23It used to be that you would only be able to focus on maybe one to two football games at a time.
01:30And that is where a show like NFL Primetime came in handy.
01:33And that show, my favorite thing that I've ever done.
01:36Yeah.
01:36How could it not be?
01:38Yeah.
01:38You know, I was lucky to be in the show.
01:39I would watch it as a fan.
01:41I mean, why wouldn't you?
01:42You want to see what happened in these, even the horrible games.
01:45You were about to get cliff note versions of all the games that took place on that day.
01:51Condense down football to just the highlights.
01:54As we're going to delve into the ball games throughout the Sunday, each week in the NFL,
01:58like nobody has before.
02:00And we like to think nobody will thereafter.
02:02When you're a tackle, and you're from the Ivy League, and you get to catch a pass from Joe Montana,
02:08it's a rarity.
02:08And Joe Valerio, Jolton Joe Valerio, gets my game ball.
02:13Lifetime stats.
02:15One catch, one yard, one touchdown.
02:18You're not sitting through commercials.
02:20You're not waiting for something big to happen.
02:23No.
02:24It's all the action.
02:25Right there.
02:27With a fantastic soundtrack.
02:29It helps solve the dilemma that a lot of football fans have.
02:32You're kidding.
02:33I'm not kidding.
02:34What are you waiting for?
02:36If you're loyal to your team, then you're stuck watching them.
02:40Even if you know, at that same time, a much better game is going on.
02:44Well, don't worry.
02:46Boomer Chris Berman has you covered.
02:48Keeping you in that football mood.
02:51Chris Berman is a relic from the past.
02:53Hello again, everybody.
02:54I'm Chris Berman.
02:55We, of course, are at halftime of our USFL game.
02:57These days, you want your sports commentator to give you a hot take.
03:02Be all over social media.
03:04That's not who Chris Berman is.
03:05Our job is to get it right, to convey the information.
03:10He's just a guy who loves sports.
03:13I think that, well, my excitement is real.
03:17I mean, you know me personally.
03:19I'm kind of the same way.
03:21That doesn't mean that I shout down every aisle of the supermarket.
03:25He was excited about sports.
03:27And that's a long, short one.
03:29And by being so excited, it made you excited about sports.
03:34You get the feeling that even if he wasn't being paid to talk about sports, he would be out here doing it for free.
03:40You like football, you know football, you watch football, and you'll admit like, hey, I didn't know that.
03:45Fine.
03:46I like football.
03:47You like football.
03:48It's not that hard.
03:49We're friends.
03:49We love football.
03:50He respected sports.
03:51Every one of these places, there's a game coming in.
03:55He wasn't trying to make a name for himself, even though they called him Boomer, because he had a loud, boisterous personality.
04:03All right, boom.
04:04Your nickname is Boomer.
04:05You're the guy with the big, booming voice.
04:07And I'm a loud guy.
04:08It wasn't to make himself bigger than football or even baseball.
04:12It was just because the man was so excited.
04:16Packers getting a chance.
04:17Maybe he'd get the ball back for 30 seconds.
04:19That first down allows Lynn Dawson's field goal to go through as time expires.
04:24Let's send Brad Muster into the line, but no.
04:26Skip McClendon to break the way and stop him.
04:28And the Bengals take over on down.
04:30First down.
04:31Get out, Phillip.
04:32Well, an eight and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
04:34Off his back foot.
04:35Montana to Jerry Rice.
04:36Let's get it go.
04:38Let's get it go.
04:39Low White is popped by Curt Schultz.
04:41But he gets nothing.
04:42He sees nothing.
04:43The final Sunday for Sunday NFL countdown.
04:46Chris Berman, I would say, was football's Slim's McKenzie.
04:52He was a big personality.
04:53He was the hype man for football.
04:56All football fans gathered with us.
05:00And I felt an obligation, as did all of our folks on and behind the scenes, who did a better job than you and I will ever do.
05:06And you know that.
05:07Correct.
05:08Correct.
05:09We're sponsoring, hosting, a gathering place for football fans in America.
05:16The hype man for baseball.
05:18Back, back, back, back.
05:19Got him.
05:20Back, back, back, back.
05:21Back, back, back.
05:23Way back.
05:24Is it.
05:25And, and is smoked.
05:31Way back and go.
05:32Way back.
05:33Back, back, back.
05:34Oh, look at this.
05:35Back, back, back, back, back.
05:36There was never a dull moment.
05:38It's sports.
05:40It's supposed to be fun.
05:41You, you don't have to take it so serious.
05:43That's what Chris Berman brought to his broadcast.
05:46Tonight, I don't care what we do.
05:48It doesn't matter.
05:49Cap.
05:49With this wounded duck, Aaron Cox.
05:52Quack.
05:53Quack.
05:53Go, Chai.
05:55Go.
05:56This ranks not number four, Dave.
05:58Not number three, Dave.
05:59But it's off the charts.
06:01Number one with a bullet.
06:03The Bucks and the Schwam are pulling out all stops.
06:06Not only the old creamsicle jerseys, but here.
06:09A bench seat from the original Big Sombrero.
06:12Not everybody has one of these, you know.
06:16Did that fellow make the grab up there?
06:18That's a heck of a grab at 4.57.
06:22Yes.
06:24Well, that's a different sort of grab.
06:25These grab are the authorities.
06:27Say what, Joe.
06:29It's a bottle of Grammarier with my name on it.
06:32I don't know if I knew what you're doing.
06:33I don't know what I'm doing, where I'm going.
06:37It's a big bottle of Grammarier.
06:38Well, also knowing when to lay out, take a back seat, focus on the action, not on him.
06:45And I think it's just because he's from another time.
06:49Unlike nowadays, where it seems like every sports writer is constantly checking their
06:53phone for updates, I always got the feeling that Boomer just did not mess with the computer.
06:59It's quiet down here.
07:00This is where, not so much a man cave to watch games.
07:03This is where, okay, let me think.
07:06It's 10 at night.
07:07Now let me think.
07:07That he was one of those guys that loved to do it the old school way.
07:11I'm never down here, so I don't turn this ringer off.
07:14When doing my research about Chris Berman, I ran across this video where they talk about
07:20his wallet.
07:21Here it is.
07:22There's, there's not presidents, but there's senators, there's coaches, there's commissioners,
07:27there's people in cities that need to find us.
07:31Now, can I put this away now?
07:32Because this is actually embarrassing.
07:34Well, if you open it, the stuff will fly.
07:36Yeah, this is business cards.
07:37Yeah, this is business cards.
07:37Cards, yeah, and stuff.
07:38The guy had a George Costanza-like wallet.
07:42That thing was morbidly obese, and he is legitimately afraid to get rid of anything in that wallet.
07:48But this is pre, you've got to understand.
07:51I used to have cards of everybody in here, but it's pre, pre-internet, pre-phone.
07:56And I think it's because this man had contacts from all around the world.
08:01You name it, he probably could get a hold of this person very easily.
08:05Signature flight support?
08:07That's where I fly out of, uh, up here.
08:10Oh, this one's handwritten.
08:11God knows.
08:12Well, that's about to all fall out there.
08:14Look, you're getting nervous.
08:15I'm not going to let it fall out.
08:16No, no, it might be, who knows?
08:18You're worried your wife's going to hear I'm going to pull out of here.
08:21This is kind of cute, though.
08:22It's cute, it's pathetic, but that's why I have it in my side pocket, not in my back.
08:27One time I was on Leno and I forgot it was because I didn't want to leave it in the back.
08:31And my side pocket just, like, it's huge, right?
08:34And that was the side being interviewed on.
08:37I was like, I looked at it later, like, are you kidding?
08:40It looked like I had, like, a 20-pound weight in there.
08:43He's a man of the people.
08:45It didn't seem to matter where he was, what state he was in, if it was players, coaches,
08:51even presidential candidates.
08:53Chris Berman knew him.
08:54I get great letters from husbands in Iowa.
09:00Thank goodness you're on because at 2 a.m. when I'm feeding the baby,
09:03I'm watching your show.
09:05Yeah.
09:05And I'm thinking, who would get up at 2 o'clock in the morning to feed the baby?
09:09There's a lot that your modern sportscaster could learn from Chris Berman.
09:14Berman doesn't make himself a part of the story.
09:17He just adds the color.
09:19He makes it more exciting that a routine tackle could feel like the coolest play that's happened all day.
09:26You're trying to embellish a little bit because it's every night and not all the games were video.
09:30A lot of them was Kansas City 5, Seattle 3 for 30 seconds.
09:34Jeez.
09:35Okay, so don't make jokes and take information away.
09:40Don't do that.
09:41But if I'm going to say Frank Tenenata Daiquiri struck out 13, I didn't, it cost me a half a second.
09:46By being himself, his broadcast career took right off.
09:50And the funny thing is, in the early days, according to Chris Berman himself,
09:54they didn't want another Chris Berman to happen.
09:58Why wouldn't you want another Berman?
10:00Well...
10:01But that management took us to task.
10:03They shouldn't have been scared of any of it.
10:06I've been doing it for five years.
10:07Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:09Everybody likes him.
10:10Well, you know, we're trying to...
10:11He had no real reason.
10:13Probably it wasn't his idea.
10:14If he's any smart, you do it in November.
10:17Maybe nobody knows.
10:18And then they don't come back.
10:19Game one of the ALCS.
10:21Remember, it was only west and the east.
10:24They played Toronto, I think.
10:25And George Graham was covering him.
10:27And George Brett is...
10:28He's George Brett, right?
10:29So, George, can I get...
10:30And of course, ESPN, I get...
10:32But wait, are we rolling?
10:33Yeah.
10:33What's the story with my man not being able to use his nicknames?
10:38Well, these are all the baseball writers.
10:40It wasn't out there.
10:42It was no decree.
10:431985.
10:44And of course, our management thought I put him up to it or George thought George Graham was involved.
10:49No, I didn't.
10:51At the end of a baseball season in 85 and they were back in 86 and he was gone.
10:56So, they fought the law and the law won.
10:58But that's...
10:59That story is crazy to me.
11:02Because nowadays, if you had a big success like Chris Berman was, I would think a network would be like,
11:08how do we make 10 more Chris Bermans?
11:10Right then, we knew we had created a monster.
11:12Since then, we've come up with 600, 700, who knows, 800 nicknames.
11:16Let's carry the full schedule with people loud, boisterous, and do that nickname thing like he does.
11:22Just in the nick of time, our very best to you, the nickname show.
11:29Chris, Ricky, don't lose that numberman.
11:33Ooh, that could be a keeper.
11:35That could be a hit.
11:35Ricky, because, don't lose that number.
11:38Neon, Neon, could go all the way.
11:41Get back, JoJo.
11:42Andre, bad moon rising.
11:44To Ricky running water.
11:45Sheds not one, not two, not three, but every ram available for a touchdown.
11:49The youngster from Nebraska, let him go.
11:52Deion Sanders picks it off, and it's grand time.
11:57Grand time.
11:58Grand time.
12:00Blast.
12:01Sergeant Shulkers.
12:02Frank Hofstra.
12:04Hey, hey, Tampa Bay.
12:06The Bucs are gonna shine.
12:08When it was over, the Mark Lyons.
12:11Derek White, what?
12:13Julio, won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
12:16A lot of them were from rock and roll Vaughn, Purple Haze.
12:20The dog, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, down the sideline.
12:22Chris Camp Calloway.
12:24Hattie, hattie, hattie, hattie.
12:25Hattie, hattie, hattie, ho.
12:27My first baseman is the crime dog, Fred McGriff.
12:30Honestly, this nickname has probably stuck more than any other one I've come up with.
12:34Every player calls him, dog, he loves, he's such a good guy.
12:38Carry.
12:39Grand get off for 52 for the win.
12:41And it's, you know, oh no.
12:43New kids on Knobloch.
12:45Yeah, and he liked it too, even when he didn't make the throw.
12:48Back to A, B, C, D, but not E, F, G, land.
12:52Andre Battle of Hastings picks it up.
12:56And how bizarre, how bizarre.
12:58He could go O-M-C.
13:02Mark Bolger, remember him with the rims?
13:04Yeah.
13:04Well, that's the scarecrow.
13:06Ray Bolger, right?
13:07So he'd go back to that, da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
13:10If I could only find a receiver.
13:12At first base, we're going to go with Dave Blind Justice, especially if he bats against
13:17reliever Craig Deflefferts.
13:19Second base, Roberto Remember the Alomar.
13:22At shortstop, Eric Rebel Yelding, for you Billy Idol fans.
13:26Third base, classic baseball name, Gary Sheffield of Dreams.
13:31Behind the plate, the youngster Todd, good housekeeping zeal.
13:36In the outfield, still when the Swallows return to Campusano.
13:40Mark, carry on my wayward son, for you Kansas fans.
13:45And Sammy Say-It-Ain't-Sosa, fittingly placed for the White Sox.
13:50Our starting pitcher, fittingly placed in Philadelphia, Bruce, two minutes for Ruffin.
13:55Our relief pitcher, for you American history fans, Bill, one-if by Landrum.
13:59And the manager of this squad for the 90s, Jim Saturday Night Lefevre.
14:04Say, like, come, and you got it the law.
14:06You got it the law.
14:07By being an original, and loving the game, NFL coaches would go out of their way to watch
14:13his show.
14:14Boer.
14:14Haven't been to one of these in a couple of years.
14:17You're graced.
14:18You should be in a freaking Hall of Fame.
14:20Well, I'm in, I'm on the Roselle list.
14:22For his personality, and because his highlights would often showcase a team that they may
14:28be facing in the coming week.
14:30Don Shula told me at an owner's meeting, late 80s.
14:33Coach, you have coaches film.
14:35He says, no, no.
14:37Let me tell you what I get out of it.
14:39Let's say it's a year that we, the Dolphins, are playing the NFC East.
14:44And we play them once every four years.
14:46And in about a month, I have the Giants, let's say, on my schedule.
14:51I might get a couple tendencies by watching your Giants highlights four and three weeks
14:57before we play them.
14:58Bill Belichick, he goes, I was a, you know, let's say defensive coordinator, assistant coach.
15:04And all the games weren't won.
15:05The Giants, you know, unless it was an odd Monday night, we always played at one time.
15:09We, with our kids, and maybe some of the other assistant coaches and their kids, and of
15:18course, that's including Steve and Brian Belichick, who are coaching now, right?
15:21Put it back.
15:22We'd rush home and watch it as a family.
15:25And that show that all the coaches and players had to watch was NFL primetime.
15:30I hope he'll understand.
15:32Swami, I saw your pics.
15:35Come on, man.
15:36I have to tell you, if you're one of the players in the highlights, and you watch it
15:42that night after a game, and you hear his twist, it's even better.
15:46Hey, how's it going, Chris?
15:47Congratulations.
15:48A show that Chris Berman hosted alongside ex-Denver Bronco Tom Jackson, who was the perfect
15:55compliment to Chris Berman.
15:57Hello once again, everybody.
15:58I'm Chris Berman, and welcome to ESPN's NFL Primetime.
16:01Some primetime ball games today.
16:04There's no question about that.
16:05We usher in our panel of judges here.
16:07Tom Jackson.
16:08You know, I spend my football season sitting beside Boomer Berman, and I hear him give
16:12out hundreds of nicknames to players.
16:13Allow the dunks, allow the two points, allow the fast breaks, and if we don't get beat
16:17by 40 points, it's a bad night.
16:19I don't know that David Shula looks like Red Cloth, or that the other team has the football
16:24on the rubber band, and it comes back.
16:25And Tom Jackson was no slouch when he was an active player.
16:29But I think he was even better as a co-host.
16:33Primetime!
16:34Primetime!
16:36Oh, man.
16:38You can feel the sound.
16:41If you grew up with NFL Primetime, I don't need to explain just how important this show
16:48was to people.
16:49It was your chance to catch everything that happened that day, and it was loud.
16:55It was action-packed.
16:56And that hour just flew right by.
16:59But the fans are, they said, what?
17:00Shh, shh, shh, shh.
17:01Quiet.
17:02Duck.
17:03Get up.
17:04Zing.
17:05It was a damn shame that because of streaming and new licensing rights, that the show had
17:17to end when it did.
17:19Hey, partner, you've become my best friend.
17:21I echo those thoughts.
17:22I enjoyed that.
17:22A privilege to occupy this scene.
17:24Thank you, Tommy.
17:25And, well, it had to come back.
17:28So it did.
17:29Well, correct.
17:30I mean, we can't do it on over-the-air TV.
17:33The laws, you know, the deals, the TV deals, and that's been that way, as you know, since
17:38so far.
17:39Our new president, who we like immensely, Jimmy Patero, that, look, ESPN Plus is a big directive
17:45here of the parent company, Disney, and I think if we can get the rights to do primetime
17:51on that, I'd consider coming back.
17:56But because COVID hit, they had to make some changes.
18:00So the reunion between Tom Jackson and Chris Breyman was very short-lived.
18:05And it's said that even outside of NFL primetime, these two are like best friends.
18:11And yeah, that tracks.
18:12Adding that enthusiasm that he has for football, his true love of the game, I think really had
18:20an impact on all fans.
18:22The successes that we have had are all tied to both.
18:28Look, I'd watch it, it had nothing to do with us doing it.
18:31And Tommy is, you know, like my best friend.
18:33I mean, we were, we worked almost 30 years together.
18:36We talk every week.
18:37And if you didn't grow up with NFL primetime, the reason we loved it was Chris Breyman's
18:43energy.
18:44Every play has him coming at it with the excitement of a toddler seeing his first NFL game.
18:50I felt like when Chris Breyman was excited, I was excited.
19:09If you were invested in your team and they just maybe marched down the field and scored
19:14a game-winning drive, hearing Chris Breyman narrate that and share the same excitement
19:19as it's happening, there's no football feeling quite like it.
19:22He could go all the way.
19:27The McKenzie brothers.
19:30Roblin.
19:31Roblin.
19:31Fartlin.
19:33Brander Jacobs.
19:37Hudson Reds for a football.
19:39Why would I want to listen to a commentator who doesn't sound like they care at all, that
19:43they have no stake in this game?
19:46I'd rather listen to a guy that they had to call the Boomer because of how loud he got.
19:52Boom, watch this kick by the Eagles.
19:53Look.
19:54I'm watching.
19:55Boom, do you hear?
19:56Yeah, yeah.
19:57Trent gets it back to you, Boom.
19:58All right, Boom, let's rip through it.
20:00Real Boomer.
20:00And the reason I got Boomer was because I kicked a lot when my mother was carrying me
20:04when she was pregnant.
20:05That other guy they call Boomer, he's more like a cartoon character to me.
20:10My first year, one of a man that became a legend at our place, became the head of all
20:16the technical, named Chuck Pagano.
20:17He goes, God, you're loud on these highlights.
20:21We'll call you the Boomer.
20:22You didn't need to tell Berman to speak up.
20:24That's why they play five quarters of the games.
20:28ESPN was the place to be in the 90s.
20:30You could wake up in the morning and watch SportsCenter on loop.
20:34And if you watched primetime and saw the highlights, you too would be jacked up.
20:39The one thing that will probably even outlive Chris Berman is the sound effect.
20:51It's universal.
20:53You could be with your friends playing Madden, and you break a tackle, or you juke
20:57somebody, and you just have the need internally to go,
21:02Wah!
21:03Wah!
21:04Wah!
21:04And then, wah!
21:05And then, wah!
21:07Bears still trying for a miracle field.
21:09He's going to complete his second lateral of the day.
21:15His passer rating goes up on this player.
21:17I'm kidding.
21:18Bears trying to cross midfield.
21:20Wah!
21:21Tell us back.
21:22Give it to the quarterback.
21:23No, we got the running back.
21:24It's just, wah!
21:25Wah!
21:25It's freeing the big fella.
21:27Wah!
21:28And then, Justin Bieber.
21:30Wah!
21:31Come on, put your head down and pull it.
21:33Wah!
21:33It's a bubble.
21:35It's loose.
21:36It's kicked.
21:37But then, we got to go backwards.
21:38At least they got that running.
21:39Where is it?
21:40Wah!
21:41Wah!
21:41I'm exhausted.
21:44I mean, that's Barry Sanders, by the way.
21:48I mean, but it's really the three students.
21:50Did you know that?
21:51Wah!
21:52Tommy and I both think this because he, there's no way you could swivel as a human being like
21:58this.
21:58That's the speed.
21:59And so, that was the whoop, whoop, and that was more Barry's moves that come from Barry
22:03Sanders.
22:04Uh-huh.
22:04He's, he's the, the impetus for that.
22:07I should have started the, the answer with a whoop, and then you're set, right?
22:11And now it's anybody that kind of does that.
22:14Yes.
22:14Now it, because the sound, I get stopped all at the, like 15, 20, or, whoop, like say
22:21it, whoop, ah, they go, go nuts.
22:22But it's, so now I've moved it to the squeal picket, but it was started with Barry Sanders
22:27and, of course, a Lamar Jackson type of player.
22:30Charles Woodson, blitz.
22:31Bang!
22:32Forces a fumble, a tiny rainbow.
22:34Wah!
22:34Wah!
22:35Wah!
22:37Wah!
22:37Wah!
22:38Wah!
22:38Wah!
22:38Wah!
22:39Wah!
22:39Wah!
22:40Wah!
22:40Now, the ball's loose.
22:43Wah!
22:44Yeah, I'm going to go over there.
22:45I'm going to throw it now.
22:46Wah!
22:47Now, when you get open, but no, you, wah!
22:49Look, just, just get, I can't stand here.
22:52Wah!
22:53Wah!
22:53Wah!
22:54And I can get, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
22:58do that sound again.
23:00Wah!
23:01I like that.
23:02But, wah!
23:03Wah!
23:03Isn't just a one-hit wonder kind of thing.
23:05He had other catchphrases that are going to be burned right into any football fan's brain.
23:10You got your rumbling, bumbling, stumbling.
23:13I bet, and prove to me if I'm right in the comments, if you're a dad or a coach and you're
23:19watching kids or teens play football, and you see a loose ball, in your head, you hear
23:25Chris Berman saying, it's a fumble!
23:29Fumble!
23:30Or, if you're watching kids play baseball, you hear, back, back, back, back, back, back,
23:34back, back.
23:35I know you do.
23:36Don't lie to me.
23:37And then there are two NFL teams that I think are forever going to be associated with Chris
23:42Berman.
23:42The first is the Raiders.
23:44I don't even care that they're in Las Vegas now.
23:47They're always just going to be, the Raiders.
23:50Here come the Raiders.
23:52Which, as Chris Berman has said, was a tribute to late Raiders owner, Al Davis.
23:59You know why I root for ESPN?
24:01Because you're the underdog.
24:04Just like that.
24:06Okay.
24:07Al Davis.
24:10Raider fans at their finest.
24:12So that's really an ode to Al.
24:15And then you got the Buffalo Bills.
24:17Because you know that nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.
24:23No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.
24:27And here's proof.
24:29They're New Jersey with an old name.
24:32It'll work.
24:32Trust me.
24:33That no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.
24:38But the Buffalo fans refuse to see a fat lady sing.
24:41But remind me, no one circles the wagons like this.
24:45What does that even mean?
24:50Is that some old-timey prospector kind of thing?
24:53So, I forget what game it was, and I just cranked it out on primetime.
24:58No one, you know, looking right in the camera.
25:01No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.
25:04And it became a war chant.
25:07Even the years they were terrible.
25:09I mean, up until Josh here and Coach McDermott, et cetera.
25:13Not a lot of great, right?
25:15It's when a group of fans comes together for a certain cause.
25:19That even in the worst seasons, you're still a Buffalo Bills Mafia member.
25:24Suffering from J.P. Lossman to the highs of your Jim Kelly, of your Josh Allen.
25:32It makes me wonder, when a Bills fan has fallen to a table and he smacks his head, does the
25:36medical staff also circle the wagons?
25:39ESPN and the Bills, and it's Buffalo, and the players, the team, the organization, the
25:47players, and the city.
25:4930 years later.
25:50It's the most rewarding relationship I've gotten through my job.
25:54And it wasn't just loud sound effects that Chris Berman got known for.
25:59It was also the nickname.
26:02Me, me, me, me, me, me, you!
26:07Leto.
26:08Oh, oh, oh, oh.
26:10One more for the road.
26:14And to think, when he first started off his broadcast career, this wasn't a thing he did.
26:20They didn't want that.
26:21They wanted buttoned-down, straight-laced announcers, but along the way, he just started
26:26to be himself.
26:27I would do the 2.30 in the morning show, and so you'd see a name and a box score or whatever,
26:33like, okay, what kind of, but you don't sit there, you usually might have to have like
26:37one beer, not on a work day, but like, you know, okay, one.
26:41But if it doesn't, or let's say if you guys wrote in or threw me a couple or guys on the
26:47crew or women on the crew, hey, whatever, if I laugh, we do it.
26:51You don't have to be a genius to figure these out.
26:53And everybody loved that.
26:55Name, please, and your new nickname.
26:57Hi, my name's Ray Hayward, and my Chris Berman ESPN nickname is Ray Go West, my Hayward son.
27:02But he was able to figure out the line between mocking the game and the players and just giving
27:08loving tributes, figuring out a way to repackage what is essentially the same content year after
27:16year.
27:16Baseball, football, these sports don't change that much, but the players do, so the nicknames
27:22will also change.
27:24Fernando Tost Salas.
27:26And so many of the nicknames that he gave these players became famous.
27:30These nicknames were what the kids today would call Abide.
27:34It had a real easygoing feel to them that made these sports seem like a lot of fun.
27:40They kind of liked the little notoriety.
27:42You know, none of them were derogatory.
27:44That's important to know.
27:45Nothing was, you know, Mike Witt, Mike Jim Witt.
27:48No, I would never use it.
27:50If he even kind of accidentally hurt somebody's feelings, he'd come up with a new nickname.
27:55So Kevin Bass, he came up and goes, you know, Chris, I'm not, I don't know if I love the
28:00nickname because he was Largemouth Bass.
28:02I know you don't mean anything wrong by it, but it makes me sound like a big mouth or
28:07a complainer.
28:09And I, you know, I thought for five, ten seconds not to be flippant at all.
28:14I went, all right, let me ask you this.
28:16How's Smallmouth Bass?
28:17He goes, go with it.
28:18The things that are nicknames, et cetera.
28:21I never did those to be, hey, I can be famous because that doesn't work in the long run.
28:28But Chris Berman became so popular that instead of being upset with all the nicknames and the
28:34sound effects, they started building whole comedy specials around them.
28:38By now, you might be wondering how the old swami here got his nicknames.
28:42Well, it all started back, back, back, back, back on the day he was born.
28:46And the stork dropped that not-so-tiny little bundle with a great big voice.
28:53And they called him Boomer.
28:55Baby Boomer.
28:56Just a sports fan who made it to TV to deliver his Berman sermon.
29:01In fact, he's the co-host of a new show.
29:03I'm sure you've seen it.
29:04Beavis and Berman?
29:06Da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
29:09And those nicknames started giving Chris Berman some real crossover appeal.
29:14The guy would begin popping up on late-night TV.
29:17Here is tonight's top ten list.
29:19Top ten nicknames for Chris Berman.
29:22Top ten nicknames for ESPN's Chris Berman.
29:25Here he is singing with close personal friend, Huey Lewis.
29:28He was so mainstream at this point that they even had him as part of the Bud Bowl.
29:43The Bud Bowl was where beer bottles played football during the Super Bowl.
29:50He cursed Joe all the way.
29:53You just won Bud Bowl 7.
29:54What are you going to do now?
29:56I was going to Sea World.
29:58It was a different time, guys.
30:00A better time.
30:02The suspense is over.
30:03Bud Light has signed top draft pick Bud Dry to a long-term contract.
30:06To celebrate, the team has released a music video.
30:09When the game is over.
30:11Chris Berman for Bud Bowl Update.
30:13It's been almost a year since that controversial fumble gave Bud Wiser the win in Bud Bowl 2.
30:18Bud Light has struck back.
30:19Horrible news for Bud Light fans.
30:21Quarterback Bud Wade Joe was injured in practice.
30:23He's definitely out of Bud Bowl 3.
30:25Overhead Cam and Cam Cam.
30:28Helmet Cam.
30:30For Bud Bowl Update, I'm Chris Berman.
30:32A time where you weren't trying to make him whip or nay-nay.
30:36Come on.
30:38Nay-nay.
30:39You can't be whippin' a nay-nay.
30:42You can't be whippin' a nay-nay.
30:44Oh my goodness.
30:48I've now seen it all at every company.
30:53Bud, just when you think you've seen it all, we get to pick a very close game, alright?
30:57So, feelin' a start.
31:00It's gonna be fun.
31:01Nay-nay in Stanley.
31:02Nay-nay on field.
31:04Nay-nay.
31:05Nay-nay.
31:06No commentator would do that.
31:08You wouldn't waste a guy like this's talent on promoting car insurance.
31:12CarShield.
31:13I'm your host, Chris Berman.
31:15CarShield makes sure you don't pay for expensive car repairs.
31:19But you would have them promoting things like Applebee's.
31:22The Applebee's 2 for 20 is one appetizer, two entrees for just 20 bucks.
31:27Only the best dishes make the menu.
31:29It's a Southwest showdown.
31:32The chefs are comin' out shoppin'.
31:33You can taste the tension in the room.
31:35This is really distracting.
31:37Is he bugging the lady from Workaholics?
31:40They're throwing everything at each other.
31:42Chipotle, chopped cilantro.
31:44Do you always do this?
31:45I just can't turn it off.
31:47Must be exhausting.
31:48Chris Berman had a personality that demanded to be seen everywhere, even in video games.
31:54Jet's right.
31:55There are a couple defenders there, but he outruns them.
31:58Where's the defense?
32:00Touchdown, 53 yards.
32:02And this is one area where NFL 2K completely blew Madden out of the water.
32:08In NFL 2K, the swami would do your halftime highlights.
32:12My first permit here to bring you our ESPN video games post-game wrap-up.
32:16The Colts stepped it up for sure, putting up some good numbers.
32:21Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is the part of the show where we normally show you some highlights.
32:26To say the truth of the matter is, there are no highlights in this game.
32:30And they knew this.
32:30That's why they didn't just keep him with football.
32:34Who am I to argue?
32:34What about running backs?
32:36Wow.
32:36Wow what?
32:37Wow.
32:38See.
32:39Witness.
32:40Train.
32:42It's all here.
32:43Right again.
32:44Or baseball.
32:45One man has hit 60 homers twice in his career and happened on Saturday.
32:49Sammy.
32:50Say it ain't social.
32:51Did it for the Cubs.
32:53Mark McGuire inching closer to being the second one more.
32:56No.
32:57He also called horse racing.
32:59Let's see it from another angle.
33:02There's only one rule in horse racing.
33:04The jockey must be on the horse at the finish line.
33:08Missed it by that much.
33:10The photo finish says, gold beret and the jockey losers.
33:14And here's him on a sports themed episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
33:19Welcome everyone to a special sports edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
33:23If this was current day, Chris Berman would be super, super viral.
33:28And people would be making memes like this.
33:31If you could say you're funny for me till you see you're funny.
33:34Back, back, back, back.
33:35Back, back, back, back.
33:37Some spread, huh?
33:38Yes.
33:39The famous back, back, back, back, back.
33:41That is what you would have heard had you tuned in to a Home Run Derby.
33:46Chris Berman knew how to make the Home Run Derby a must-watch event.
33:50And the thing is, when he wasn't being Boomer, he was still a good commentator.
33:55Sidley goes back, back, back.
34:02It's over.
34:03Though it feels really, really wrong when you run into a clip of a subdued Chris Berman.
34:10Now it's that time in the SportsCenter for Dome News.
34:13But you do have to probably be a little bit more buttoned up when they ask you to interview a potential president.
34:19If you could change one thing in sports, what would that be?
34:23But boy, was this guy a purist.
34:26And you can hear the disgust in his voice when he's watching bad football.
34:30The Cards win, well, I don't know if you want to call it an absolute thriller, but they win it.
34:36No, he drops it.
34:3721-0 at the half.
34:39Get out of here, New York fans say.
34:41The Cards won the West at 7-9.
34:44The division was a, quote, joke.
34:46This past year, there's no question, after watching this, that the best two teams in football are Seattle and San Francisco.
34:53Sorry, they are.
34:55So, I'm on my good hands team.
34:57But this is really what I do?
34:58Third of them.
34:59How many third and longs are the Giants complete?
35:01Jets' second round pick, right?
35:03And it was one I didn't like and the fans, you know, didn't like.
35:11And I went on a soapbox for a minute.
35:14What?
35:14I remember.
35:15And honestly, not because I was so loud, at that moment, the feed blew up, you know,
35:22like, I guess I was so loud that, or somebody stepped on the extension cord trade that we
35:27went off and the whole restaurant was dark at, you know, 1.30 p.m.
35:33For like 10 minutes, ESPN blew out the restaurant.
35:36And the appeal of Chris Berman is, he looks like your everyday guy.
35:41Teddy Brewski?
35:43Yeah.
35:45Brewski?
35:45Teddy Brewski.
35:47Brew-
35:47Brewski?
35:48Brewski.
35:48Like, let's have a couple of Brewskis.
35:51Yeah, you went to New England.
35:53Which we'll be doing in about a half hour.
35:55This guy could be your uncle.
35:58Right?
35:58Wrong.
35:59He's just got that kind of aura about him.
36:02Not afraid to tell a corny joke.
36:04Ho, ho, ho.
36:04Merry Christmas, everybody.
36:06I'm Chris Berman, and welcome to the nickname show.
36:10I guess that kind of makes me Old Saint nickname, doesn't it?
36:13Or Jill.
36:15Quarterbacks, best since 1983.
36:19What?
36:19Are you kidding?
36:21Computers, don't kid.
36:23Sorry.
36:24He wasn't one of these pretty boy model types.
36:27He wasn't an ex-quarterback.
36:30No, he was just a dude who loved football.
36:33I mean, it's that simple.
36:34We don't do brain surgery.
36:36We do sports.
36:38I mean, you've got to be accurate.
36:40You've got to be respectful.
36:41You've got to get it right.
36:43But you've got to have fun.
36:44It doesn't mean laugh and guffaw, but you've got to have fun doing it.
36:48So who knew that that fun of 2.30 a.m. in the winter and darts would lead to 30-plus Super Bowls covering them of fun?
37:02My uncle once told me that at a card convention, Chris Berman was at the same event and he ran into him at a bar.
37:08And I actually totally believe that.
37:11This seems like the type of guy who, at a bar, would be holding court and everybody would be listening to his stories.
37:18He just lived that life.
37:20He really lived that life if you looked at some of these leaked clips.
37:25All right, Chris, it's my job.
37:28That's what I do.
37:29Not now.
37:30We'll be trading these picks.
37:32What's that?
37:37Ryan Stewart.
37:39Detroit.
37:40What are you looking for?
37:41Food?
37:42No.
37:43Berman should be living that life, considering ESPN put him to work.
37:48All the guys, we did 10 shows a week.
37:51I'm there 17 hours every Sunday.
37:53I mean, I'm in at about 7.30 in the morning and I leave after midnight.
37:58The man was a party.
37:59The man was larger than life.
38:02And when he wasn't out partying, he spent his time out golfing.
38:07Probably should have been a little more specific in my advice.
38:11Chris, he does love to play golf.
38:15There you go.
38:17There you are.
38:18If a job's not worth doing, Chris, it's not worth doing right.
38:23Comfort yourself with that thought.
38:25He has trouble getting out of bunkers.
38:27He can get the ball out.
38:28It's just he has trouble getting himself out.
38:31He's kind of like if Uncle Buck had to call a game for the Tampa Ray Bucks.
38:37He is Mr. NFL Countdown and all of that.
38:39He's been on television for more than 30 years.
38:42We're done.
38:43We're moving on.
38:43Next.
38:45Everything that Chris Berman is on television, he is in real life.
38:49Some guys are just funny.
38:51He's funny.
38:51Yesterday is history.
38:53Tomorrow's a mystery.
38:53Today's a gift.
38:54That's why they call it the present.
38:55That's why we're doing a show.
38:57I know.
38:57We're at three hours of it, coach.
38:58You can see yourself in Chris Berman.
39:03This, I can't eat this.
39:05Do me a favor.
39:07I can't even look at it.
39:10I can't steal the brownie and that's it.
39:17I'm pretty sure everybody who's ever watched a football game hasn't also been going to town
39:25on something like a plate of cookies and he's taking a very healthy portion for himself.
39:32Sit here and eat the brownies.
39:41That's not for me.
39:42I'm just using it for chocolate fuzz.
39:48He has been to our guard is down now.
39:51Stuff your face and watch football.
39:54And the man got paid to do it.
39:55If that's not winning, I don't really know what is.
39:59We also, I think, in it within the hour.
40:02Sent out for some sandwiches or something.
40:04I can't even eat with that.
40:05I don't know what that was.
40:07Whatever it was was not good.
40:10I'll buy it for you.
40:11All right?
40:15Or even chips and these brownies.
40:17I mean, that's how I get to be Jermaine Mayberry sitting up here, you know.
40:22I can't run and get me to do any exercise.
40:25You know, that was the first thing.
40:26And he wasn't going to eat alone.
40:28The coaches joined in.
40:30What needs to sink in now?
40:32There's something.
40:34Well, wait a minute.
40:35We have burgers.
40:37Thought about you, big fella.
40:38Chris Berman was an ambassador for football.
40:41He cared about football.
40:43But he also seemed to really care about the kids.
40:46We do want to wish everybody a happy Halloween this coming Sunday.
40:48Remember, if you're out driving this Sunday, slow way down.
40:53All right?
40:53The little ghosts, the little goblins, they're not looking for you.
40:55And with all their excitement for the night, just be smart, have fun, and keep it slow.
41:00The kids loved him.
41:02And you can see that when he's out in the public.
41:04He could go all the way.
41:08Girls, ladies, how are you not already falling in love with Boomer?
41:13He's a charmer.
41:15Everybody loves the swami.
41:17Even Rebecca.
41:19I mean, come on.
41:20How could she not?
41:22Rebecca.
41:22Look at Rebecca.
41:27Oh, it's our last one.
41:29I know.
41:30I just found out.
41:32You're bummed, huh?
41:32I'm not.
41:34Well, I know you're not.
41:35Oh, wait.
41:37We're going to finish this.
41:39Almost done.
41:40How are you?
41:41How was Chris?
41:41Well, I mean.
41:42I kind of got that wine.
41:44That wine was good.
41:44No, wine was good.
41:45Did you think of me when you drank it?
41:47Yeah.
41:48Like, did you just squirm a little bit?
41:51No, no.
41:52Come on.
41:53I was in a Japanese restaurant.
41:54You can always squirm so much.
41:56It went well with sushi.
41:58Because it's pretty clean.
41:59It's not a chardonnay with a lot of bite.
42:01Which, by the way, some chardonnay with bite is fine.
42:03But it's a pretty clean.
42:04No, it's a pretty clean.
42:06And it's not that expensive.
42:08It's way beyond what it costs.
42:10Right.
42:11It's hard to find here.
42:12In California, you can find a lot.
42:14It was really good.
42:14It's not a Napa.
42:15It's a Santa Barbara, which is not.
42:17It's a clean white.
42:18So it's not going to screw up a lot of.
42:20It's clean.
42:21Good.
42:22Glad you enjoyed it.
42:23Oh, I did.
42:25I hope I'm there the next time you have the bottle.
42:31Well, you know where to find me.
42:34You know where to find me.
42:36The guy is a Swifty.
42:39And my proof is that he defends her showing up to Chiefs games.
42:43I think she's legitimate.
42:45I'm in my mid-30s.
42:46I'm cheering on my guy.
42:49And I'm having fun at the game.
42:50So if you just take it from that part, I think that's pretty, that's legitimate.
42:54So you think, Chris Berman, super wholesome, right?
42:56Well, that's what's great about the guy.
42:59Because, you know, it's not all squeaky clean stuff.
43:02He's still a dude.
43:05And that's what's great about some of these leaked clips.
43:08Here's him pulling a Christian Bale.
43:10He just wants to give the score of the Lions-Vikings game.
43:14And people just keep interrupting him.
43:17When I'm doing TV and I got 18, goddammit.
43:20Can't everybody stop for 10 minutes?
43:22I mean, everybody seems that that's the only, everybody can we stick.
43:25Jesus Christ.
43:27I mean, it's not that much to ask.
43:29Is that when everybody has to move when I'm trying to concentrate?
43:32Jesus.
43:33And you guys thought I was a fan.
43:36I mean, that's so rude.
43:37I can't believe that that's, that's so goddamn rude.
43:40Just, why does everyone all of a sudden have to move?
43:44I've had two fucking hours to move around.
43:46Wait 10 minutes.
43:48Jesus.
43:50I'm sorry to explode by that, but that's, it's like no one's ever worked on TV here before.
43:56Jesus.
44:01Shucking under the, what the fuck do they think I'm doing?
44:10I, I really, I actually can't believe what I just saw.
44:12Not now.
44:13It's like no one here has worked on TV before.
44:18I hear a dial tone.
44:24And there were seven people, I mean, Jesus.
44:30We need to use the studio for 15 fucking minutes.
44:32Just everybody, you know.
44:33There's a certain level of realness to Chris Berman that, if you were to catch him off camera,
44:45you're going to get some real, authentic takes.
44:48For the Colts and Rams, I mean, fuck it, right?
44:51I mean, they're, right?
44:54Fuck them.
44:55They didn't do anything yet.
44:57He's not going to hold back.
44:59He's not going to censor himself.
45:01If he thinks something sucks, then it sucks.
45:04Rudolph.
45:05Rudolph.
45:05Saving.
45:06Rudolph.
45:08No, fuck Rudolph.
45:12Brunel flying or fuck it, they'll see it.
45:14Right?
45:15Yeah.
45:16I'm running out of steam on these fucking things.
45:19I dig the sarcasm.
45:21Like him busting on Al.
45:25All right, where are we?
45:25Thanks, Al.
45:28Al.
45:28Al.
45:28Al.
45:31Thanks, Al.
45:33Al's not far from the North Pole, is he?
45:37Thanks, Al.
45:38Coming up on our Lexus halftime show, you.
45:43Coming up on our second segment, you.
45:47You bastard.
45:48See you then, Al.
45:49I'm sure you can't wait, you fuckhead.
45:51Which reminded me of that famous clip where Michael Jackson is busting Brad's balls.
45:55Brad, what are you going to do?
45:58What are you going to do?
45:59My favorite version of Berman is when he becomes the frustrated professional, getting the type
46:06of angry you get when you're just trying to record and create content, and nothing is
46:11going right.
46:11I agree.
46:12Last year, starting at the blast was horseshit.
46:15The undefeated team is the Chiefs.
46:17I mean, it's shit.
46:18Yeah.
46:18I got it.
46:20Oh, good night.
46:21When we return, a visit with both Super Bowl quarterbacks.
46:27I'm sure you can't wait, you fuckhead.
46:29See, this fucking mic, it's just a...
46:31SportsCenter is next.
46:34Trey Wingo and company will take you from tomorrow night on.
46:38We'll see you soon.
46:39Back to Chris Burman.
46:40Oh.
46:42We just did it.
46:43All right, guys, uh, well, you missed us, but we were gone for 20 seconds.
46:51Uh, yeah, fuck it.
46:53Let's go.
46:54You know, when I do SportsCenter twice a year, every fucking joke you have is on the air.
47:00Or, since I talked about how the dude looked like he liked to party, him talking about
47:05how you can go about smuggling drugs across the Canadian border.
47:10Understand, tonight is awful in here.
47:13Awful.
47:14No, no, it's already awful.
47:18I saw this on the schedule.
47:20Jets during the Christmas holiday.
47:22I took four duh-duh-duhs at six o'clock, knowing what this would be.
47:29You know what a duh-duh-duh is?
47:33It's Canadian aspirin with a little bit of codeine in it.
47:36You know, just enough to give you that pop.
47:39Two-two-twos.
47:41Duh-duh-duhs.
47:43I mean, you buy it over the counter up there, you can't here.
47:46It's like 10 bucks up there, but it's like 100 bucks prescription here.
47:51So you put it in all the corners of your suitcase.
47:54Do you have anything to declare?
47:55Oh, no.
47:57Eh?
47:59Duh-duh-duhs.
48:03You always hope to have one Blue Jay game a year.
48:08You go to the Canadian CVS.
48:09It's funny.
48:11You have those bottles, 250, you know, count of the 220.
48:15Yes, here they are.
48:17I'll take four of them.
48:19And they go, no, they always go, from the States, eh?
48:21Duh-duh-duh-duhs.
48:25You never had, you never take duh-duh-duhs?
48:27Look at that.
48:29Just a little drop.
48:32A little 8% codeine never hurt anybody.
48:35I know exactly what this night is.
48:39I've looked at this one for six weeks.
48:42Oh, don't go clutching your pearls.
48:45This is real talk.
48:47You need a little codeine in your system if you're stuck watching the toilet bowl of the
48:52two worst teams going at it.
48:54Something to numb the senses of really, really bad football.
48:59Maybe even throw a little money on the game.
49:01Make it interesting.
49:03He is the swami.
49:04When I give you the swami.
49:06And when the NFL was super strict with being associated with gambling, they still turned
49:12a blind eye when it came to Chris Berman and his picks.
49:16Believe it or not, I used to talk with Val Pinchback, who was director of broadcasting
49:21back then.
49:22What do you think?
49:23He goes, eh, poor where it's on, but he didn't say it's okay, but he didn't say it wasn't okay.
49:32I mean, if people are hanging stuff on my picks, I'll worry about them.
49:38You can't sit out of the bag anyway, right?
49:40Whether the league is doing ads or all the leagues.
49:45After two hours of getting you ready for Monday Night Football, here's what we got left.
49:50Picks.
49:51And for all of those reasons, Chris Berman is the last true broadcaster.
49:56Yeah, nowadays everybody wants to be so viral and famous for takes.
50:01And their own franchise, and I don't like it.
50:06We receive many, many home videos for this show, and it's amazing how good most of them
50:11are, especially when you consider how much trouble professionals have.
50:15Let's take announcers, since it's the job I know the best, unless, of course, you're
50:18talking to my producer.
50:19We have to pay attention to the action, to our notes, to the TV screens.
50:24And this thing, which I hate, this little earpiece, which is called an IFV.
50:27The directors and the producers, I mean, they shout through this thing.
50:31Get rid of it.
50:32We also have to worry about the agents, the fans, coaches, viewers, and, of course, the
50:36TV critics.
50:37Now, I know you're holding back the tears, and I don't blame you.
50:40And like this guy.
50:41This guy ruled.
50:43We need more points.
50:45Carolina has the ball at the 30.
50:47So far, instead of running out of the clock, throws a ball.
50:50I don't think there will ever be another Chris Berman.
50:59Well, let's see.
51:00I mean, it's the same fucking thing every week.
51:01You got good Rams, good Colts.
51:03I mean, it's the same thing every week.
51:05Like, click, and subscribe if you want to see me talk about all kinds of pop culture
51:10subjects.
51:11And if you're Chris Berman and you see this video, you're freaking real, dude.
51:15You've heard enough.
51:15Thanks for joining us here and watching some football.
51:17It's the IFV.
51:20For Tom Jackson, I'm Chris Berman.
51:21Thanks for watching NFL Prattdown.
51:24It doesn't include, all right?
51:25I fucking lied.
