According to Bod Raissman of the New York Daily News said Berman, "was seen walking around the Yankees clubhouse like he owned the place. Berman was big-timing to the max, strolling into areas clearly marked "no media allowed beyond this point." Perhaps Berman thought the sign did not apply to him because it did not read "no clowns allowed beyond this point. By the time PR personnel found out Berman was trespassing and went to evict him, he was in Girardi's office talking to the manager. Berman occupying prohibited space in the Bombers' clubhouse is nothing new. He did it at the old joint and in Detroit. When the Yankees were in there, he parked his tuchis in the players' food room, totally off limits to media. Perhaps Berman subscribes to the following old adage: If it ain't catered, it ain't journalism."
What a club they're running up there in the Bronx.
They haven't won a World Series in nearly ten years, yet "Boomer" and Hank Steinbrenner are engrossed in a hot dog-eating contest for the ages.
Bottom line, Berman is a clown, and he has too much responsibility within the ABC network.
ABC needs to yank his NFL duties, but they won't.
Worst of all, he has to be the worst commentator in the history of golf. Having to listen to him during the first two rounds of my favorite tournament, the U.S. Open, is torture. As lame and sappy as I think Jim Nantz is during golf coverage on CBS (well any sport for that matter), he's much better than this ironhead known for his "rumbling-bumbling" and "back, back, back, back, back" calls.
He is good for the Home Run Derby each year, because it is also becoming increasingly worthless.
His musical references are about all he has going. My personal favorite, "Ground Control to David Toms", is a classic. That said, these references are the only ace this guy has left. An ace that was bludgeoned into the ground long ago.
By all accounts, they might be terrified of this nut...

That one, however, never gets old.
