Berman compares being off-camera to being in the huddle? Hey fat ass, you aren't a professional athlete. Sitting in a chair and making stupid noises and behaving pretentiously in no way compares to what athletes do, let alone spies. What a self-aggrandizing windbag.

According to the figurehead of ESPN, Chris Berman, things that are said in the huddle are supposed to stay in the huddle? This coming from the figurehead of a company that spends millions of dollars trying to dissect and analyze what is said and called inside an NFL huddle for its viewers; from a company that has a segment called "Inside the Huddle with John Clayton" [sports.espn.go.com] . Jeeeezus!!! Berman, your hypocrisy is hanging out, you better go check on it, maybe give it a deux deux deux.
