I liked him in the early and middle parts of his career. But in the latter part he reminds me of that annoying uncle at family get-togethers that says stupid stuff and talks way too much. Enough already.
Different eyes see different things

He is loud and obnoxious. That being said, guys like Evan Washburn, spiro dedes, and the cbs college basketball studio guy are incredibly bland white noise. At least the older guys had, have personality , the younger guys are bland Ken dolls.

That YouTube video is classic. He used some wordy dirds. Came across as somewhat angry. (LOL).

I like him. Sure he can be annoying sometimes, but the others are just as annoying too.

I agree that acts get old after awhile, but your reference to Richard Pryor and George Carlin doesn't work in my world. I've seen all their concerts countless times and even though I know their routine/acts, I still lol.
Different strokes I guess.

Any act gets stale if you have heard it over and over and over and over and over and over. Listen to Richard Pryor or George Carlin's best stuff every day and you would quit laughing after a while. I lover Berman for years and I don't hate him but there are other voices I'd rather hear.
Your future's all used up.

His schtick is way past old and he's made no effort to change. He uses references that are too obscure to understand and he uses one inside joke after another. It's like he wants to make sure that all the viewers understand that he's in with the in crowdeven though no one else gives a sh!t.

Recreational outrage.

Sex with animals? There's no time, man!

I'm in my twenties, but my mom and dad used to listen to Kiss and BTO. I just don't think it's Berman referencing old songs that is the cause of ESPN's ratings decline.

lol

Exactly. I get 90% of his references.

Old people watch TV too and generally in larger numbers than younger folks. When Berman quotes a Foreigner song, they get it.

He uses lots of cliches and frequently is more cheesy than substance, he can be extremely awkward and stumbles over his words, his references are extremely outdated, and watching him is frequently cringeworthy.

lol! because he is an angry sounding old man. young viewers don't like that.
and the damn home run derby. he sounds like a chicken after a while. "back back back back back bock .bock.bock bock bock"
it's annoying

a response is as good as a like in media.
espn trying to make everyone more 'likeable' is why their ratings and network is going down
