Chris Berman's nicknames

WOW!!


My dad is keeping the tickets, and my guess it that they'll raise another 10 bucks next year. He bought a bunch of 5 dollar seats, so we'll sit in those, and sell the others.

Is Sean "Over The" Hill on the list.

He was a really old player on the Islanders last yearm, and we called him that all year. I'm off to my first game in two weeks tonight.

Also, Clemens denied taking any BANNED substance at any time in his life. What he was taking, was NOT banned when he used it. I believe what he said, but I think that he was bending the truth a little bit.

How come no Derek Jeter nickname ? also why does he take part in when they say on espn " name that molina" ?

bo derek jeter and eric byrnes byrnes byrnes the ring of fire are missing...Leigh Michael Barrett.....check out google video (evolution of dance ) giants fan kevin.?

Hey Zacker:


Awesome job typing that massive list... How much coffee did you have to drink while you let your fingers, "go-all-the-way", to the end zone...? Touchdown!

I also forgot to mention that Derek Jeter does have a nickname -- "DJ" the man who always gets the party started baby!


Chris Berman is the greatest thing that happened to sports.

consuming, compulsive, controlling, obsessional, fanatic, fanatical, neurotic, excessive, overkeen, besetting, tormenting, inescapable, pathological.

oh, and fun.

Father Puck and Puck Collector.....


Sorry to hear about the ticket increase for the Yanks. My Padres tickets did not go up one penny. I bet if we had won game 163 and made it to the playoffs we would have seen an increase. Our payroll is a little smaller than the Yanks too. Less to pay for.

Tracy Collins Becky...

Thanks for the Leigh Michael Barrett shout out. Don't forget Marty "Grin and" Barrett. Another former Padre.

Zack...

About two years ago I met Chris "Boomer" Berman where I work. He was drunk as a skunk too. Ha ha. A really nice guy though and funny too in person. Maybe that was the booze?

I also had a dream two nights ago that you and I were snagging BP home runs standing OUTSIDE of Shea in the parking lot. Ha ha. They were hitting them that far. Only in a dream or a Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco reality. Getting antsy to see some baseball. Any thoughts on when your first trip to the new Nationals Park will be?

Leigh

PUCK COLLECTOR-
This is strictly a baseball list.

SOXSUXYANKS-

Does Jeter even have a Chris Berman nickname?

TRACYCOLLINSBECKY-

I never heard those (which is strange). This is strictly a list of nicknames that I've heard myself, so I guess I should leave them off...?

MIKE.LOS-

I didn't type the list in one sitting. I'd scribble down the names over the years as I heard Berman say them, and then as soon as each episode of "Baseball Tonight" (or whatever) was done, I'd add them to this master list on my computer. But hey, thanks.

DB3PAR-

A slight overstatement, perhaps? :-)

TSWECHTENBERG-

Are you talking about me or Berman? Or both?

LEIGH-

Cool. I met Berman outside Shea within the last year or two and blogged about it. He wasn't drunk (as far as I could tell). That's quite a dream you had. Not sure about the Nationals, but maybe I should go on StubHub. I wonder if there are already tickets for sale...

Hey Zack,
I was reading ESPN mag and saw ur book was the 8th-best selling sports book in the US this year. Nice job!

http://fantasysportsowners.blogspot.com

haha thats pretty funny.


i know you don't watch football, but when he does football highlights, when somebody has a big run he makes this hilarious sound, like a muffled gunshot. hard to explain. its funny. ill try to find a video.

giants are in the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!(thank god, i couldn't survive 2 collapses from 2 of my top 3 teams, other being the mets and islanders)

happy holidays btw zack...

also on football..he goes "WHAAAAP" when somebody misses a tackle, and he has a very exaggerated "he COULD GO ALL THE WAYYY" just like homerun derbies-"back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, GONE!!"


heres a homerun derby clip haha

and football

Merry Christmas to you Zack and to everyone who posts on here. May you all get the gift you want and have a great 2008 year and snagging season.


Leigh Barratt

San Diego, CA

PS. Met Greg Maddux where I work last week. Not too mean, not too nice. Ho hum.

Hey Zack merry christmas, hope you remember me, I just got your book a profesional fans guide... and i read some of it already and it is GREAT you have some amazing insite into the game, keep snagging Zack


Albert

CHARLIE!
Cool! Thanks for letting me know about that. I had no idea that the book got mentioned there. Thanks to you, I was able to run out and grab a copy. Perhaps I'll share it here on the blog in my next entry.

GJK2212-

Nice. I've heard him do football highlights here and there, but I must've missed the "whap."

LEIGH-

Thanks so much, and right back atcha.

ALBERT-

Merry X-Mas to you too. Of COURSE I remember you. Don't be silly. Thanks for checking out my book, and thanks for kind words. I'm really glad you're enjoying it.

ahh one of my favorites...Jose "on board with the" Cappellan!
