Is Bermsn's ego so big that he can't see how irrelevant he is today. His schtick grew tired 20 years ago, and he just keeps holding on like it's 1995.

I like Dilfer. Berman is terrible and should have went away a long time ago. I think at this point ESPN just gives him mercy air time since he was there at the beginning. What a huge douchebag.

Why qualify it with asterisks?

 

[Sandinista!]

But he sounds drunk or sick

The Worldwide Leader is no longer flush. Cable TV is losing subscribers at a major rate, and parent company Disney has taken a hit. The old ESPN stars will eventually be affected; Scott Van Pelt is back to a Sports Center slot. When corporate America gets serious about costs and re-structuring, they often chop older, higher paid personnel. We can only hope Berman gets the axe.

I thought Dilfer was just as unbearable. Both of them seem to yell their commentary the entire game, even on pedestrian plays. I didn't understand it and found it completely irritating to listen to. Worse that Pam Ward and Beth Mowins, and that's saying something.

His $3mm per year is certainly a good place to start.....
