Berman's No. 1 ... with a bullet (in our heads)
Will Leitch, author of "God Save The Fan" and soon to be leaving as editor of Deadspin.com, posts a list of the "10 Worst Broadcasters in Sports" for MAXIM.com (with a brief excerpt of his opinion):
1. Chris Berman: "The godfather of taking a spectacular athletic moment and butchering it."
2. Chip Caray: "A foundation of inaccuracies."
3. Joe Morgan: "The most condescending broadcaster in sports."
4. Dick Vitale: "A mugging cartoon."
5. Bryant Gumbel: "Gravitas ... only matters if you don't suck."
6. Bill Walton: "The undisputed king of hyperbole."
7. Billy Packer: "Brings the joy of a diaper change to every gig."
8. Mike Patrick: "A forgettable play-by-play man."
9. Walt Frazier: "Tone down the pimp wear."
10. John Madden: "Became a parody of himself long ago."
Our alterations:
Remove Walton and Frazier, add Stuart Scott and Steve Lyons (if he still counts as a national broadcaster), and move Madden higher on the list.
