Deadspin — Here's a Chris Berman Nutrisystem commercial, complete with wacky Bermanisms, but no mention of leather. [YouTube]

Weekend leftovers
SmackCaster SmackBlog — A school from Indiana is in the AP Top 25. Guess which one it is. Hint: It isn’t the Hoosiers and it isn’t the Fighting Irish. Kimbo Sliced in 14 seconds. End of a legend. The Angels beat the Red Sox in extras. The last time they had done that, Donnie Moore hadn’t thrown his fateful pitch in 1986 and Bill Buckner was not infamous. Tony Stewart scores controversial victory at Talladega. Chris Berman’s Nutrisystem commercial is enough to make you want to gorge yourself.   ...

Chris Berman's losing it -- for NutriSystem TV commercial

Let's see, there's Dan Marino, Mike Golic, John Kruk, Don Shula, Cris Carter and Sean Salisbury. Who's next? Here's the commercial that appeared on CNBC recently. ...

The Morning Tailgate
JoeSportsFan.com — You know when you go to load up a cooler full of beer and inevitably in the bottom of the cooler there is a rusted out can of crappy beer that is roughly the temperature of human urine leftover from the last time you had an all-day drinking fest? No one wants to drink that beer. But it’s not like you can throw it away, so you may as well find a use for it. We think we found that use. To this point we feel like we’ve been pretty generous in handing out bratwursts at the JSF Tailgate, so you’ll humor us for a moment while we go a different direction. You see, Frank Caliendo has finally taken it too far. With TBS ...

Oh, For The Days Of Rape And Murder Questions At Debates [Weekly Buzzsaw Countdown]
Deadspin — The second Presidential debate is tonight, coinciding, quite helpfully, with the first night off of the baseball postseason. I spend about 45 percent of my workday reading political blogs from all sides of the spectrum, some conservative, some (OK, more) liberal, and absolutely none written by that theoretical and mythical bird of the "impartial." This is warping my worldview; right now, more than the main two candidates, I'm ready to elect Chuck Todd and Nate Silver president. I'll be watching the debate tonight with considerable nostalgia. I long for the days, like in the clip above, when the ...

Post Christmas Brain Smoosh
mass hysteria — So my favorite Christmas present was getting violently sick on Xmas night. I had to skip a day of skiing, and instead tried to recuperate after a night of launching my insides into a toilet bowl. I am a complete waste of space right, I can hardly move, and well there is nothing but SHIT on TV on December 26. So what do I watch , ESPN, so I can hear Stuart Scott refer to Kobe Bryant as equivalent "to two players of the Celtics big three", Wilbon refer to Pau Gasol as the answer to Kobe's prayers (HEY WILBON WHEN HE STOPS PLAYING LIKE A PUSSY IN THE PLAYOFFS YOU CAN MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT), and the posted commercial above. If you are having post Christmas ...

Berman = Screech
Red Renee — I wish this commercial would just go away. Further proof that Chris Berman is the baby-boomer Screech.

Top 10 ways for Chris Berman to die
Five Tool Tool - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back — What, too grisly? Like you haven't thought about it, or won't be when he trots out that Home Run Derby act today. Live the fantasy! 10) Aneurysm. A fairly nasty way to go, of course, but hey, it'd do the job quickly, right? 9) "Scanner" style head explosion. Hey, Hollywood, why can't we get a remake of this movie? What with current digital effects and the relative lack of business that the original did, it's time. And who better to star in it than Boomer? 8) Bondian death trap. Cannibals report that humanity tastes like pork. I'm thinking ...
