Of All the Things to Babble About...


So. Chris Berman comes on with his Two Minute Drill (Super Bowl Edition) and interviews the Cardinals' punter and ex Aussie Rules star Ben Graham. Berman starts out by asking Graham a good question, "Which ball is easier to kick...", which is relevant, useful and, if you're a fan of footy, interesting. And then asks a lame, cliche of a question, "The guy in the white hat, under the goalpost, that does...". What the hell BOO-mer?! Ben Graham played FOO-tee (Berman's pronunciation) for GEE-long (again Berman's butchery), he was not a goal umpire. Jebus! Why don't you have him explain Jocko, Crocodile Dundee, Yahoo Serious, Nicole Kidman's face and that 'dingo ate my baby' thing while you're at it.

Thanks BOO-mer! You're a champ! Congratulations from all the FOO-ty fans and all the GEE-long fans! You are this week's winner of the Pengo Sports Tool of the Week award! Way to go fat boy! Way to go.

Chris "BOO-mer" Berman

Aussie Rules goal umpire or a banana tycoon or ESPN's Chris Berman?
