A couple years ago I would've said Vitale like a no-brainer...and granted we haven't really heard him slobber over UNC's cock in the last 6 months so he's kind of out-of-sight out-of-mind
I would say Berman right now but Dickie V will probably surpass him as soon as he opens his mouth...but not by much

i hate chris berman a million times more than dick vitale
once in a while vitale will make me laugh and i think he generally has a good heart
the espn football program makes me wanna claw my ears out...the combination of berman and michael irvin is just double retardedness...i don't understand why steve young just doesn't get up some nights and leave 11/3/2006 3:18:00 PM |

question for people who like berman...have you just not heard enough thousands of "back back back back whoop whoop boom boom whoop whoop what? what? what?" to where he irritates you yet?
and i dont think vitale is always horrible...just when State is playing Wake and he spends 10 minutes talking about how Carolina has such good kids...bleh 11/3/2006 3:24:45 PM |

yeah i could understand getting annoyed with both of them, and it actually bothers me how Vitale talks about UNC at every game he is calling....but overall they are both pretty good announcers and neither one is a total dickbag like some of the other guys on ESPN.
I hate people like Mark May who just doesn't know shit about college football....or Dan Patrick who is an asshole.

Berman is now a caricature of formerly one of my favorite sportscasters.
Vitale has a real love of the game of basketball that more than makes up for his man-crushes on K, Dean, and Roy. 11/3/2006 3:29:06 PM |

yeah its definitely annoyance more than hatred
but another thing about berman...just because he's been with espn for a while its like he thinks he can just cover game 7 of the playoffs...or the masters...or superbowl...or whatever just because he is some kind of senior person at espn...and he knows his shit without a doubt but damn he is annoying 11/3/2006 3:29:45 PM |

Lets be thankful Mark May doesn't cover basketball, baseball, or pro football. I'd have to cut my ears off and burn my TV.
We should also add Skip Bayless to the list. That fucker REALLY doesnt know anything. Thank god he doesnt do prime time

What the hell is wrong with Berman? I think the man was born to do football highlights and I think he does a better job than anyone else out there. Too bad NFL Primetime doesn't come on anymore. That was a staple of Sunday night TV for me.
And for Vitale, sure him always talking about UNC and Duke gets annoying but you can't help but like the passion he has for college basketball. Anytime someone has that much passion for a sport, I can't help but respect them. And plus he still gives mad praise to Jimmy V . That alone makes him likeable. 11/3/2006 6:49:25 PM |

5 years ago I would've said Dicky V!!! baby!!..
But Berman has gotten worse and worse and I can't stand him now... His baseball nicknames were cool and funny when he first started doing them but they are old and not as creative now..
Plus all the sound effects drive me nuts!!
So Dicky V wins by default.. 11/3/2006 6:53:55 PM |

Berman's quick football recaps when he goes through all the NFL games on Sunday night pretty quickly are really good, he doesn't have time to do much more then basically cover the game with a few things thrown in here or there. He is forced to keep it short which is good.
Both of them can be over the top and try to make it more about them then what they are talking about, but i'd take either over micheal irvin any day of the week. he is the worse person that ever gets a chance to talk on tv. 11/3/2006 9:53:24 PM |
Sleik All American 11177 Posts user info edit post |
has to be Dick Vitale. Berman comes up with nicknames for players on all the teams if their names make it easy enough... though he does stretch sometimes. His coverage is pretty fair and balanced, a team can get blown out and he'll still mention a good play or two they had.
Dick Vitale, on the other hand, has blatantly obvious biases and isn't afraid to let you know he's biased. There's just one problem with that: He's big on Kentucky (I'm an LSU fan), D00k/chapel hell (NC State), and Kansas (Texas). You could be discussing a game completely unrelated to his fucking favorites and yet he ALWAYS spins them into the discussion.
Round Table Guy #1: In the Big East, Notre Dame defeated Providence, 63-58. Round Table Guy #2: Yeah, the Irish played well, but nearly shot themselves in the foot by missing free throws down the stretch when they needed to hit them. Round Table Guy #1: They weren't helped when Colin Falls fouled out, they could have used his shooting down the stretch. Dick Vitale: JJ REDICK WOULD HAVE NAILED EACH AND EVERY SHOT, BABY! Round Table Guys look at each other. Round Table Guy #1: Yeah, so Notre Dame nearly handed this game to Providence, who dropped to 1-6 in conference play. Dick Vitale: MEANWHILE DUKE IS 6-1!!! COACH K HAS THOSE GUYS WONDERFULLY COACHED!! RTG #2: In Pac-10 play, Oregon edged Arizona State 81-77 thanks to strong play by point guard Aaron Brooks. He came within a rebound and an assist of a triple-double, finishing with 26 points, 9 boards, and 9 assists. Vitale: THREE DIFFERENT UNC PLAYERS HAVE GOTTEN TRIPLE-DOUBLES ALREADY, WATCH OUT BABY!!! RTG #2: ... We're going to commercial break.

Dickie V for the simple fact that he only recognizes Duke and UNC as far as the ACC goes. After all, it if isn't Duke or Carolina, it isn't good for him. 11/4/2006 3:45:59 PM |
