On SportsCenter, Chris Berman just said that outside of Pearl Harbor, more people knew about Hawai’i because of Don Ho than any other single thing.* Then Berman teared up, looked to the sky, and said, “Don, you’re with the me, leather.” * This part is actually true.

You're with me, Leather, the t-shirt!
You're with me, Leather, the lunchbox!
You're with me, Leather, the breakfast cereal!
You're with me, Leather, the FLAMETHROWER! (The kids love this one).

You know, it's probably pretty irresponsible of me, since we don't know if any of this really happened (and our only account thus far is from a secondary source) but I've got a friend who writes for Keith Olbermann ...

The story sounds more like Berman to the rescue for a friend.

SHH, i don't know if it's going to be that big. not many people read this site so it probably won't get noticed by anyone else. At least we readers have our own little private joke though.

It's great to relive the days when epic posts would only garner 20-30 comments.

I have a feeling that this is going to be BIG. I mean HUGE! It may even give rise to a "Deadspin Hall of Fame" or a t-shirt or something. I'm just talking out loud here, but I just got a feeling, ya know?

Perhaps you folks were wondering why I haven't offered my two liras worth on this subject, but I lost my amateur status a long time ago. Not a line that is up to my standards, but maybe Peter North or Matthew Rush would try it.

I call BS on this one Will. Happily married balding Jewish guy with two great kids...after 25 years at ESPN have you heard any other Berman stories? Um...that would be no. Tell your phoner nice try, at least he got on Deadspin.

I know this is juvenile, but I was wondering if anyone could verify whether or not Chris Berman has a chode. My friends and I have been debating this subject for years, (so far we've only been able to agree on Marting Lawrence and Joe Dumars) anyways this info will would help immensely and may repair some friendships as well. Thanks.

Given the locker room culture of ESPN, especially back in the day, and the fact she so easily recognized Berman, I'd put $50 down that the woman in question was an ESPN production assistant or free-lance staffer--that's usually the only way guys who work there meet chicks.

Rooting for whichever team is winning? Unless the losing team is the Buffalo Bills, because "NOBODY circles the wagons like the BUFFALO BILLS!" I get physically ill watching Chris Berman these days.

If a woman I was talking to got up and left with Berman, I'd let her go. Something must be wrong with her. I've seen Berman in person and I felt 20 lbs heavier just looking at him.

How about Chris "Your schtick has been tired for 15 years now and I'm sick of you rooting for whichever team is winning, you pompous prick" Berman? Oops, forgot to make a pun. I still think it's a catchy nickname all the same.

Are there any insufferably punny nicknames for Berman out there? If there aren't, there should be.

Hercules McAwesome — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 12:53:56 EDT

I kind of like this nickname thing as a gimmick for Berman. What he should start doing is giving every living human being a nickname....maybe something related to their given name...and call them that every single time they come up in a highlight or in conversation. I'll give you an example: Curtis Martin. He should call him Curtis "My Favorite" Martin. See what I did there? It's a play on "My Favorite Martian", an old, culturally irrelevant sitcom, and the fact that Curtis Martin, who has no connection with the show or its star, Ray Walston, has a last name that sounds kind of like "Martian". Anyway, Chris, if you're out there, this one's a freebie. Please feel free to use it every moment you are on television for the rest of your life. It will be hilarious every single time, and people will say, "That is so funny. He called Tony Gwynn, Tony Gwynn and Bear It. It adds so much to this sports telecast, since every person watching television has the brain power and sense of humor of a 5 year old."

Bowden, I was just seconding you, it's okay. I don't think Berman could come up with a plan that deep, though. As for Berman dirty talk..."Back-back-back-back...gone" Oh, God, I did not just go there.

Back in the day, were I swathed in leather, I would have swung off the stool for Kilborn (we're talking the days of "Someone's a Writer!" not the supersmug Kilby of today), but Berman? Chris Freaking Berman? I shudder at the dirty talk he'd come up with.

Juancho - Obviously I forgot to attach my sarcastic tags. Although for some reason, if Chris Berman and his wife went around pulling the routine on random guys, my respect for him might actually increase.

I'd like to point out that nine years ago, Chris Berman was married. With two kids. His imdb.com profile says that he's been married for over 20 years. I have the feeling that "leather" wasn't his wife. I'm just sayin' is all.

If Berman's TV work is any indication, it's probably the 8,675,984th time he's used that line.
