Have you seen this video yet? If not, you need to see this first before reading further...
That video was originally posted by an ESPN employee who I would assume no longer works for ESPN. I have not a clue how old the video is, if you do please tell the author of this blog (myself). I have seen it multiple times and it just proves my belief that Chris Berman is a complete asshat.
Recently The Miami Herald wrote a column that interviewed Berman regarding these comments. Berman says these comments were made about 9 years ago. Personally I don't buy it nor do I care. You act like an asshat at least one time to your producers and camera crew, it is going to most likely happen again and again. So yeah I said above I have no clue how old the video is, but ESPN says, they "supported Berman, noting the off-air videos are now nearly a decade old and don't reflect his typical workplace demeanor." Who cares. It happened. Berman in my eyes, before the video surfaced was an asshat just proves it further with this video.
I love the fact Berman acknowledges his mistake. I have made many mistakes in my young life. I can only dream that one day my stupidity in my life will make it to the stature of Chris Berman.
All people make stupid mistakes they wish they could forget, yet only a handful of the worlds population will ever get to have their dumbass remarks broadcast on the internet for all to see.
One thing Berman does say though, "you're being watched whether you're on TV or not. Everyone is very brave when they're anonymous, and that's very disturbing to me, whether it's about me or anyone else. I'd like to think people would be more productive with their time."
Well Mr. Berman, I agree. If people want to reach me my name is Russ Poush and my email is russpoush@yahoo.com. And as a further counterpoint, with a faltering economy I am out of work due to layoffs. I wish I was more productive than I am, but I am not, so other than looking for work 50 hours a week, I spend my time posting blogs, eating, meeting new people, and working out.
