The dark side of Chris Berman

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.

Would you take a 50 mph tennis ball to the nuts for $50? This guy did

We always thought the show Sport Science was interesting, but we would get lost sometimes in the whole “science” part of the show. Force, mass, speed, propulsion, blah, blah, blah. Luckily for us, the nerds decided to dumb it down a bit with their episode dedicated to getting racked. Huh huh, we said rack. That was cool.

Will the fear, anticipation and pain send his heart redlining into dangerous territory?” Well, duh. We could have answered that long before his gonads got grilled. But sometimes you have to put your neck or even your package on the line in the name of science and anyways, it wasn’t such a bad afternoon for Jason. He went down in history, made 50 smackers, took 68 pounds of force to his balls and Mr. Brainiac told the world he has a tiny, freshly bruised unit. Yup, that’s a day well spent.

Five minutes of must see `D’oh!’ moments

We have to apologize in advance for the horrible music accompanying this video, but you gotta take the good with the bad sometimes. This is one of the funnier collections of clips we’ve seen in a while so, hit the mute button if you have to, but make sure you stick around until the 2:20 mark to see the best moment of disappointment ever captured by camera.

Grab your jock and pop a top for Mr. Package Protector

Happy days are here again because we’ve come across another classic “Real Men of Genius” promotion and we’ve got to say this commercial is dedicated to quite possibly the most realest man of genius to ever come down the turnpike. After all, do you love to get hit in the twig-n-berries? We didn’t think so.

Adolf Hitler is not happy with the Cowboys latest performance

If you thought Terrell Owens was torn up after the Cowboys monumental gaffe against the Super Bowl bound Giants, just get a load of how `der Fuhrer’ took the news.

Somebody call the wahambulance, we got a crier on our hands

Terrell Owens was moved to tears after the Cowboys were knocked out of the Playoffs last week and it got us to thinking. Is there anything worse than the `crying face’? We say no, but you judge for yourself.

Sorry D-Wade, but there’s no way we could you let you get out of this.

Okay, so Chuck Norris, Bill Brasky and Paul Bunyan walk into a bar…

We came across this clip of THE Chuck Norris on The Worst Friggin’ Sports Show Exclamation Point and maybe we’re not completely up to speed on our world history, but we always thought it was Tim Tebow who once shot down a German fighter plane with his finger by yelling “Bang!”. But we could be wrong; after all, we are products of the public school system.

Some other gems provided by devilsrightfoot:

Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim through dry land.

Chuck Norris doesn’t read. He stares at the book and the book gives him information.

Chuck Norris is able to divide by zero

Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his parents.

Chuck Norris has the best poker face. He won the 1983 World Poker Tournament, using a hand containing a ticket stub, Monopoly money, a 2 of Clubs, a 5 of Hearts, and a Green #4 card from Uno.

You gotta choke a lotta kids to get 900 career wins

Like him or hate him, Bob Knight made history last night by upsetting the No. 9 Texas A&M Aggies 68-53, winning his 900th career game. Knight is the only Division I men’s basketball coach to reach the big 9-0-0, so we figured now is as good a time as any to relive some of the more outspoken moments in the surly old coach’s career.

Ooops, almost forgot this inspirational speech from the greatest men’s coach in the history of the game. (Considering it’s Bob Knight, we shouldn’t have to do this, but we will. Slap those earmuffs on all the youngsters out there!)

Hey, according to the big guy, those aren’t vulgar F-bombs; they’re just simple expressions of surprise, anger and dismay.

This is not exactly what the Grecos or the Romans had in mind

From what we’re told, this is high school wrestling and it certainly appears to be a couple of pimple-popping adolescents, but it sure looks like WWE to us.

He [Brent Foxhoven] ended up finishing third in the tournament, but he clearly pulled off the highlight of the weekend.

Foxhoven said he has been practicing the move for a few weeks, and he seized his opportunity to show it off.

“He almost pushed me out of bounds,” Foxhoven said. “I was hoping he would come up on it. It was the perfect spot to hit it.

That’s what she said.
