Not thrilled about Chris Berman announcing the OPEN with his not so funny announcer humor

Man has Chris Berman’s “funny name” announcing thing gotten old. The ship has sailed. The novelty has worn off…

“Ground control to major Toms” as in David Toms. Really funny. Haha.

Can’t wait to hear Chris address Roger Maltbe as “Roger Chocolate Maltbe”… not.

Oh wait, the Berman comedy hour continues: “We’ve heard of a rescue club. Was that a fescue club?” Oh man I may throw up in my mouth.

David “Do Val”

A moment ago Mr. Rumblin’ Bumblin’ Stumblin’ was pronouncing David Duval’s name wrong. Then he got it right as someone must have told him in his headphones how to pronounce it.

OMG it continues…

“Ernie is shankin’ his head.”

“He cooked his putt too far.” Did he mean “he over-cooked his putt”???

You mean they’re talking about someone other than Tiger? I normally don’t watch when he’s playing because I figure it will be the All-Tiger show. Maybe I need to check out Berman’s coverage….

I was thinking about writing about the same thing — Berman has no business covering golf, especially a major. He’s like the loud drunk at the bar who thinks he knows it all (but doesn’t) and thinks he’s hilarious when he’s really tedious and annoying. You wish he’d go home so you could enjoy yourself, but he just gets worse and worse.

And don’t forget “the Hansen brothers” — another gem.

Oh, brother. Thank goodness NBC takes over tomorrow.

If Berman worked in an office, he’d be the guy who’s desk is situated near the photo copier…as you approach to make copies he’d say: “Here comes the Dave-ster, mak-ing cop-ies. The Dave-ster! Dave-a-rino! Mak-ing copies!” You know…like the Rob Schneiter character (Rich) from a Saturday Night Live sketch from many years ago. Everyone is truely annoyed by him, but no one wants to be the mean guy and tell him he is being such a douche nozzle (yes, it is worse than being just a douche bag). Well Media Guru is the office mean guy it would sem!
