During the 90’s Berman and the Primetime show enhanced every NFL Sunday. Truly a unique broadcaster, with a mix of quick wit, consistently hilarious pop culture references, great insights and overviews, and an obvious love of the game. Brought another much-needed dimension of fun and warmth to watching football.
Agreed!!! I didn't grow up in a pleasant environment (to say the least) and was often miserable. Sundays with Boomer and TJ put a dent in that. Long live this legend. ...and he COULD! GO! ALL! THE! WAY (to the HOF)!
Broncos fan here. I used to love watching Boomer and TJ in the 90s. Primetime was the best, no BS, just long, detailed highlights of every game. Miss those days.
I have great admiration for both of you. I really enjoyed watching this segment of your show. You both are legends, and I hope that you two continue to cover the NFL for many more years. Ty very much. Cheers!
That late '80s to early 20-aughts era for SportsCenter was magical, for lack of a better adjective -- from the caliber of talent of all of the anchors, analysts, and field correspondents be it with respect to the then old guard from the O.G. cast that were still on the network all the way down to the most junior of the green horns to the chemistry between the individual members of that collective on-air talent to the writing and video editing. There was an industry term which first emerged some time in the mid to late '80s regarding really popular shows that you just had to watch every episode of (in the era before TiVo, or DVR, or now with streaming) as it were very likely to be fodder for animated water cooler discussions the next day at the office: "appointment television". That was what that era of ESPN was for me! Lastly, I would just like to remember one of my top-fav SC hosts from back then: Stuart Scott -- still miss him even though it's been about a dozen years since he passed. Wherever he is I hope that he's cooler 😎 than the other side of the pillow!
Berman was part of the greatest pregame show in America, at one point in NFL history. We still love him, but Dan Patrick, Rich, Pat McAfee, and others have passed the cable game behind. That said, what an excellent human being Chris Berman is, truly. We need more of his ilk in the world.
I love, love,love Chris Berman as a sports analyst, in the 80’s and 90’s. I think Stuart Scott replaced him very well. I miss Stuart but God had other plans for him. Chris was fun to watch and addictive. Never missed his show. However, I am disappointed with what I have seen of his on air tantrum and people have said he was arrogant which I believe and can see. It’s sad about his wife. I see his personality as being arrogant when he was a hit in the 80’s and 90’s and I don’t think he treated others well. Now he has come full circle and appears remorseful. He is now a humbled man. No one is perfect.
Swami almost nostradamous this one. I actually stopped watching ESPN altogether when Berman stopped NFL countdown. He was my all-time favorite analyst. Shame Chris never got his bills 49ers SB. Should have happened at 25 but montana went down.
Thus, the 'Niners leave no doubts' about strengths, focus, point of contact, goals... 6th finally ours, as the San Francisco 49ers win 58! 49=13... 58=13 #13 Purdy... which in numerology is 4 (there are no numbers higher than 9) 1+3=4.... 13=1and3=4... therefore 4 is the smallest number and is no higher than 9. Key words (same meaning) ... reduce, lessen, mitigate.
Does kettle have a better game than kelce? Was that a serious question? That was a close follow up to YAC, which KC is better at than SF. You were good at post game but clearly you dont watch enough to know what youre talking about.
@marked4death076 kelce, who is literally passing up Jerry Rice in the record books? The guy that averages 40 yards a game and has 2 tds in the post-season is going to beat the kelce? Burned or not, kelce scored the same amount of tds as kettles post-season career in the game against Buffalo. I get kettle blocks, but that's not what any of us are talking about. Be mad because you lost your league, but be smart enough to know the difference between the greatest to ever play a position and a glorified lineman.
I Love this, Rich Eisen keeps looking at his watch trying to play it cool while Berman loves talking, at the 10: 35 mark Eisen tells Berman (hesitantly) to tell a story, after that Eisen is Praying in his head ( Please End the F@cking Story Berman ) I really like the Rich Eisen Show.

I literally taped the show on VHS when I was a teenager in the 90s
My two favorite broadcasters! LEGENDS!
Like fr fr
Rich isn't a legend lol that's too funny.
Rich Eisen is a joke

We will never have anyone like Chris Berman again
It's incredible that Chris Berman's first game was the "catch" and first game I watched That's why I'm a Niners fan. That game. I was 6. ❤❤
Love that I got to grow up in the 80’s watching and listening to Berman! He is Him!
Chris Berman is one of the best. Berman on NFL 2k5 was unreal
A LEGEND! I love that man. Thanks appreciated.

Chris Berman report in 80s and 90s every night in New York made me less lonely in a very lonely city..

This man is a legend! I grew up watching the highlights this guy did with the epic music. I knew it was a school night too 😂.
Love Chris Berman A lot and Loved Him on NFL Prime Time With Tom Jackson Back in The Day!
I loved NFL primetime with Berman and Jackson in the late 90s early 2000s.
Chris Berman is an OG! National treasure right there.
That… was a great interview fellas
OG’s just know things we don’t. Always great to listen to a legend.

Chris Berman, best ever, my love for football and the anticipation of post game reports were never more exciting than Primetime with TJ .
Berman was right, damn!
There will never be another Berman. Incomparable
Iam still a big fan of Chris Berman....
Same and I Loved Him on NFL Prime Time With Tom Jackson!
My brother actually met Chris Berman at a small gas station in NJ. He said he was a nice guy in person too.
Nice and I Hear Chris is a Great Guy!
Did your brother ever make manager?
@@ungadunga5441 He was getting gas at same time as Berman he wasn't working there
Man is a prophet.
Loved his Mahomes impression at 18:37
Such an amazing time
Chris Berman is one of the best👌
Chris Berman literally looks like the uncle I drove every thanksgiving to see in the cold tundra of America in the 80s and 90s. True American & GOAT.

Somehow as techology advances microphones get bigger.
Damn it... even Boom is picking the Chiefs...

Anyone else to young to get the “swamy hat” reference and the line stuff at the end of the interview?
Go Niners! Let’s bring back a trophy 🏆 championship to the Bay Area!!! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Chris Burman is the best and he witnessed history. The 80’s were great times.👏🏈
Where are the 222s? Deaux Deaux Deaux
49er fans get ready for heartbreak and disappointment courtesy of the Kansas City Chiefs.
WOOP!!!
Berman The Great!

Nervous but confident, niners are gonna roll KC tomorrow
Lol
Go ahead and dream but the niners are in for a nightmare lol
Lol not sure about that😂 😂 😂
As a hawks fan it pains me to say....m 9ers 31 KC 17 in almost a blowout
@@marked4death076 have score wrong its Chiefs 31 9ers 17

Better game as in on sunday? I could easily see kittle blowing kelce away, as a pissed off fantasy player that got burned by kelce this year.

Kettle 2 catches for 4 yards, kelce 9 for 93.

Chris is a fucki g legend and rich is a icon
