While the long-standing Kornheiser-Berman beef doesn't have the same initial draw of, say, Beadle-Andrews, its appearance in Those Guys Have All The Fun does lead us to the alleged root of everyone's favorite alleged pick-up line: You're with me, Leather. More »

Deadspin Classic: He ... Could ... Go ... All ... The ... Way!

Rick Chandler — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 17:00:00 EDT

There's no earthly reason to run this again today, except that it involves one thing America will be full of this weekend: a large man in a tropical shirt. And it remains funny as hell. You will always be with us, leather. More »

Oh. Bye.

You're With Me, Meme

Tommy Craggs — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:30:13 EST

Flip to page 195 of this month's GQ. You'll find a spread in which everyone's favorite Bermanism appears atop Topher Grace's crotch. And thus "You're With Me, Leather" becomes one of many viral sensations to spread to smarmy Hollywood wang. More »

Lock Up Your Bike Racks: Deadspin Goes To Bristol

Although other overtures were made before, there's never been a better opportunity to touch the sun than this one: an invitation to participate in some of ESPN's 30-year anniversary activities. More »

"No Clowns Allowed Beyond This Point"

Ben Cohen — Sun, 24 May 2009 12:45:00 EDT

The new Yankee Stadium security measures are terribly draconian — unless, of course, you're Chris Berman, the newly appointed ringleader of the circus. More »

And Now, Your Regularly-Scheduled Chris Berman Anecdote

You're With Me, Election

Rick Chandler — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:30:56 EST

Yeah, yeah, I agree; there's something clearly disturbing about Boomer being the last human to interview John McCain and Barack Obama before we all go to the polls today. But look on the bright side: The phrase "Barack and a hard place" was not uttered; Berman didn't lose it and scream at an intern; and we got a college football playoff out of the deal. David Frost and Richard Nixon this wasn't, but neither was it Stephen A. Smith. More »

Last Chance To Buy Outdated T-Shirt

Leitch — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:00:21 EST

Anyone who has been annoyed — read: us — by the odd advertisements for Gawker Media T-shirts over the last month is in luck: The Gawker Shop is closing down, and you won't be bothered again. This also means this is your last chance to buy that "You're With Me, Leather" T-shirt before it vanishes forever. More »

A-Rod Scores Them In Bunches

The guy who provided this here site with The Tip That Shook The Nation — involving Chris Berman and a certain leather-clad female — of course earned a place in our our mythical Tipster Hall of Fame. And in our hearts. But he's slipping, unfortunately. His once great fastball is now merely a languid change-of-pace. Just witness this actual phone conversation from Tuesday night: More »

Berman: It Is Useless To Resist

rickchand — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:45:08 EST

Via Sports by Brooks comes further proof that, although nature and common sense would seem to dictate otherwise, our nation's women are helpless before the visage of Berman. We sincerely believe that he can point at a woman any time he wishes — like James Earl Jones in Conan the Barbarian — and she would leap off of the cliff. More »

Chris Berman Isn't Here To Talk About The Past

Leitch — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 10:00:21 EST

Clay Travis, one of the bright spots over at CBS Sportsline, once opined about the daily hell that "You're With Me, Leather" could potentially put Chris Berman through, but as far as we knew, no one had ever actually asked him about it in a public forum. That is, until this weekend, at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where Berman and his ubiquitous Hawaiian shirts faced the media and what the catchphrase hath wrought. More »

We're Avoiding "With Leather" Jokes, But You May Feel Free

Leitch — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 10:30:53 EST

We'd like to thank NBC Sports for using the pictured headline on their site last night, in reference to David Stern acquiescing to the demands of his players to bring back the old basketball, so we didn't have to. It's nice when global corporations do our work for us. More »

The Greatest YWML Reference Of All Time (So Far)

Leitch — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:00:24 EST

So, Saturday morning, we woke up, full of enthusiasm for a beautiful New York City afternoon, and we checked our email. There were, strangely, 211 new email messages; that's a lot for a weekend. We weren't sure what we'd missed; did Carl Monday do a story on Fred Smoot or something? More »

After witnessing, in slack-jawed awe, the truly beautiful thing that has been Deadspin Hall of Fame nomination post, we stand before you, at full attention, with the sharpest possible salute we can muster. That was so much fun to be a part of that the actual Hall of Fame almost seems redundant. More »

YWML Night: The Morning After

Leitch — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 11:00:19 EDT

Well, "You're With Me, Leather" night was last night in Dunedin, Fla., and we received three different reports. That's good, because all three reports reported that there were only three YWML spottings there. They must have all seen each other. More »

It's Carl Monday Night At The Ballpark

Leitch — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 17:45:30 EDT

As you know, we're big fans of minor league baseball, particularly the odd promotions they put together from time-to-time. (We still think our favorite is the time a team gave away free vasectomies on Father's Day.) And a couple of weeks ago, we pointed you to the Dunedin Blue Jays' professional wrestling promotion. Well, now it appears the Blue Jays have decided to put together a promotion around something that's even less credible than professional wrestling: Blogs. Specifically, ours. More »

The Deal With The TRL Thing

Leitch — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 16:45:54 EDT

Back when we announced the sale of the "You're With Me, Leather" T-shirts, we promised a free post for whichever reader was able to feature the shirt on national television. But we — obviously — never dreamed it would be the host of TRL. More »

YWML Suddenly Huge With 13-Year-Olds

Leitch — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 18:31:55 EDT

Out of the wilderness, from the depths of madness, comes a strange, unlikely hero. He's got spikey hair, a nifty blazer and a T-shirt he holds close to his heart. His day job might seem like it would fall outside your particular spectrum of interest, but don't fret: There's a twinkle there, a tiny glint of a life outside the Ashlee Simpsons and the Lil Bow Wows. There's a notion of ... leather. Lots of leather. More »

Did ESPN Suspend Neil Everett? (Well, Apparently Not)

Leitch — Thu, 25 May 2006 17:30:12 EDT

We hate to ruin the pleasant vibe of an intensely giggle-inducing day, but multiple sources from the Bristol complex have told us "with 97 percent certainty" that anchor Neil Everett, who famously dropped a "You're With Me, Leather" reference on SportsCenter, has been suspended from the network for one week, starting immediately.
