Chris Berman Crazy Rant

Chris Berman gets a little frustrated. Caught on-camera in 2000 just before Monday Night Football returned from com­mercial: Why does everybody all of a sudden have to move? Youve got two fucking hours to move around. Wait 10 minutes. Jesus!...Its like no one has worked on TV here before! Jesus!

[@iloveurvidsNOT]

Lol that guy in the background "and you thought I was a pain in the ass" lmao

[@johnselwitz5362]

To be fair, that guy probably is a pain in the ass

[@TRoller927]

That was the guy who leaked the video after being fired from ESPN for being a "Pain in the ass". Difference was, Chris had/has a much bigger paycheck.

I lost it 😂

[@TheLocalLt]

Things about this that have been lost to history but are important to realize: This did not take place at the ESPN campus in Bristol but in Baltimore at the ESPN Zone restaurant. The idea was to put Berman in a setting where fans could interact with the short, 20 minute ABC pregame show (the full pregame aired on ESPN with Mike Tirico and Tom Jackson). However, the show being done from a restaurant with a crew that was not used to operating the studio led to mass chaos and the idea was quickly scrapped.

This is real white male privilege, if any person of color was TV host for a huge network like espn or any female were to go off so unprofessionally and literally have a tantrum and screams arrogance for a person who gets paid to protect his personality to their audience, only one kind of content is acceptable on TV and that’s Family friendly!

[@Crusader7077]

Back in 1996, around the time that live audio began being broadcast on the internet, a web site that existed at the time broadcasted ESPN's raw satellite audio feed of the NFL Draft that year. The feed began about an hour before broadcast, and during the lead-up to the broadcast and during commercial breaks, Chris Berman was no different than what you saw in this video clip. This is typical Chris Berman off the air.

I'm pretty sure it was a producer that ESPN fired. That's why he posted it originally. Then ESPN pulled the "Big deal, it was a bad day, 6 years ago" card out. Then they lost all credibility by having the video pulled. Not realizing that it wasn't going anywhere for long after it was released.

I worked the Super Bowl in Miami when the Colts lost to the Saints. His crew set up very early in the morning and they did several live shots throughout the day. There was a young blonde lady working who had a headset on and I saw him blow up at her and then again he blew up over the sandwiches/food that they brought him. I had all the respect in the World for this guy before that, but not now. This blow-up is not the only one that the camera has caught. Glad I don't work for or around him.
