Outside of John Madden, Chris Berman has the most recognizable face and voice in all of NFL television coverage. He's been a staple of ESPN for decades now and his "whaaaap" and car crash sound effects are things of legend. Of course, he's also one of the most annoying men to ever strap on a microphone and his gimmickry is killing the NFL, but when it comes down to showtime, he's a professional through and through. Yup; cool, calm, collected and professional. That's the Swami.

Good to know we're not the only ones with a `close your eyes and rub your temples' kind of feeling when he's in studio.

That makes me way sad. I always loved Berman throughout the years. It seemed like he was a genuinely nice guy. I hate to have seen him do that. Respect your coworkers, jerk.
