Last night was the 2007 Home Run Derby, and I missed it. "Z" had an accident which kept us in the E.R for a few hours.
So as I am watching to the introductions, I hear this vaguely familiar voice, my husband starts to laugh and he says "You know who that is, right honey?"
I said "Sounds vaguely familiar."
Next thing I know, they show him, Chris "Booomer" Berman ...(painful memories return)
To my amazement this man was lookin like a slob. His jacket sleeves were approximately 6 inches to small and his pants were wrinkled. Now this man has money, for goodness sake, he lives in Greenwich, Ct. You'd figure that he would be a little better dressed than that. Who ever is buyin his clothes needs to be fired and if he does it himself, well I guess he needs to make a trip to Men's Wearhouse and get measured properly.
So anyway, my husband and I, once again, had a few good laughs and all I can say is, I wish I could have watched it, cause I would of had more to say.
Thinks to self "I wonder if anyone shook his hand?"

Chris Berman Should Watch Where He Picks!!
You never know who is watching.........
So I am sitting here reading some negative comments about my post on Chris Berman. That is to be expected, I don’t really give a shit. I have my big girl panties on!!
These are a few over at The Big Lead
Almost undoubtedly a complete fabrication.

This may be the most juvenile immature post I’ve ever seen. And I have to agree with JJV. I call bullshit.

What evidence do you have to call bullshit? You have the burden of proof of such a call if you want to make such a bold claim!

I decided that I will not defend myself anymore. I will entertain everyone with the picture of my husband and Chris Berman as this was a concern over at Fang's Bites. The picture is date stamped and I will also post my ticket stubs and from there take it any way you like!! I am willing to bet that this has been witnessed before and maybe even by others at ESPN.
When I came back to work I was talking to a coworker and we were laughing about the incident, which I am sorry but, is quite amusing. My co-worker knows someone who has dealt with Mr. Berman and not only is he nasty but, he is inconsiderate and cheap. I think you all may know more about Chris Berman that I do, as I said in my original post, I had never recalled hearing his name before that day.
We need to face the fact and just realize that people, even famous people do gross, nasty things in public everyday. I just happened to witness Chris Berman do it on a crowded airplane. I send out my sincere condolences to the passenger who had to sit in the window seat and the passenger who had to sit in the aisle seat in front of us, BUT next to Chris Berman.
And yes, it was worth blogging about!!!!!
My Flight Home With A Sportscaster...
Last year, February 2006, my husband and I went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean. The flight to Florida was great, pretty much uneventful. We had a great time on our cruise and spent the weekend in Fort Lauderdale after the cruise ended. Now to the real reason I am posting this…………
Our flight back home we had a layover. I can’t remember what airport, I would have to look at the tickets stubs to know for sure.
So here we are waiting to board our flight and all the guys in the boarding area start going crazy, including my husband. I couldn’t figure out what the heck was going one, I was looking for a famous star. So my husband keeps hitting and saying “Honey, Honey, get your camera, take a picture!”
I turn to look, because I don’t know what the big deal is, I don’t see anyone famous in the boarding area… But all the men do..
He finally tells me who it is, it’s Chris "Boomer"Berman and of course I still don’t know who that is. He tells me it is a sportscaster for ESPN, NFL..bla bla. “Oh ok” I thought. My husband goes up to Chris Berman, shakes his hand, chats a bit, I take a picture and we now have to board the plane to come back to Connecticut.
So we get on the plane first. Chris Berman is behind us. We take our seats in the row on the right side of the plane (facing forward). Chris Berman sits down in Coach (we were a little shocked, thought he would have flown First Class) one row in front of us but on the left side of the plane and sat in the seat next to the aisle. The center seat was empty and there was a gentleman sitting in the seat next to the window. (Poor guy, you’ll know why in a minute)
Now I get to the Pet Peeve Laurie Anne mentioned…..
So I was looking out the window and I feel a kick from my husband. We must have been in the air for about 10 minutes.
He says” Honey, look at Chris.” So I look and don’t see anything, I shrugged my shoulders, turned away and my husband says “NO, watch!” So here I am staring at this guy, feeling a little weird about it and it happens. This guy, Chris Berman takes his finger and shoves it as far up his nose as he can get it!! (LOL, I am laughing and typing this at the sametime) WTF..I think, maybe the booger is really bothering him. The only problem was, THE MAN DIDN’T STOP THERE. He picked his nose none stop and in-between picks you would think he would have wiped them on a tissue, his shirt, hell, the back of the seat in front of him! But no, this man proceeded to pop each booger in his..umm..yup you got it…MOUTH. These weren’t average sized boogers either, my husband to this day refers to them as Earthworms!! Same color, shape everything. HOW GROSS!!
I was dumbfounded and if I was in my right mind I would have recorded it with my video camera option on my Digital Camera. But because I wanted to follow the rules and not use certain electronic devices during the flight all I have are the painful, yet amusing memories in my brain.
So after about 45 minutes of it, I said to my husband “Bet you wished you never shook his hand!”
LMAO…Chris Berman you’re a nasty man!!!
