Berman Acknowledges Videos, Still Fighting Communism

If you had been wondering what exactly Chris Berman thought about the all those videos that have shown up around these parts, featuring him deux deux deuxing in supposedly off-camera moments, well, someone finally thought to ask him. His response is rational, paranoid and hilarious.

Basically, Berman is convinced that the Cold War is still going on, and it's happening on the series of tubes.

''It's almost as if what we would fight against as a country — the Soviets spying — it's almost like that's what everyone is doing,'' Berman said by phone Wednesday. "What's said in the huddle, which is what I did, should be in the huddle. I'm disappointed people would think I'm not really good with the people I work with, which couldn't be further from the truth. Do I wish I didn't say a few things nine years ago? Yes. But if that's the worst thing I ever did, I can live with it.''

We think that's a rather fair and measured reaction ... as long as it's the worst thing he ever did! Is there something worse out there? Careful, Mr. Berman ... the Soviets are everywhere.
