I know. I wish I could do more. I've spent just about every free moment trying to beta test the game that you shot pictures for back in 2001.
(a) I like Berman. Yeah, his act might get tired after awhile... but dammit, he brings something to the coverage. I just like the guy.
I'm just anti-catch phrase as of late, especially when it comes to sports. I can't recall a more groupthink subset of people. Somebody comes up with a different turn of phrase and it's EVERYWHERE. For a while there, every single baseball that was hit "caromed" off the wall. Every pitcher that threw a few nice pitches was "filthy." And so forth. Berman, though --
o I'd like to watch the home run contest. Maybe. Big maybe. Delgado has never placed well, so it's uncompelling even when it should be compelling for me. But every freaking time a ball gets hit well he starts in with the "backbackbackbackbackback" thing. Terribly annoying.
o The "MARSHALL MARSHALL MARSHALL" thing and the Ray Bolger thing... goddman, man. (For those that do not follow the NFL, Chris Berman screeches "MARSHALL MARSHALL MARSHALL" every time Marshall Faulk, Rams running back, does something good. He pierces your ear drums, trying to say it like how Jan Brady would say "Marsha"x3.) You have to admit that you'd rather a team of hardworking leeches sucked blood out through your tongue than sit through Rams highlights.
(b) How the FUCK do you have a problem with beer commercials feature hot twins????
I have no problem with twins. I hope my girlfriend has a long-lost twin, in which case I am shutting this place down, quitting my job, eliminating all distractions and focusing on getting them both at the same time. I mispoke slightly: it just seemed like there were five different ads that were in rotating for the entire draft weekend:
o The Coors Light one where the guy had the double-glasses
o The one where the football player gets knocked down and has a vision where he's surrounded by women
o The one where the guy screams out his phone number to the barfly on the other end of the restaurant
o The Dell or Compaq or whatever one where they try to get the guy who voices the Miller MGD commericals to tell you how easy setting up a computer is when someone else does it for you
o The retarded ones where the one beer pitchman is running for President of some nonsense or another.
Poor draft. Very poor.

What's your take on what the Bills did? In favor of trading next year's pick for J.P. Losman?
