    This might be reposted, but I was reading Maxim today and it reminded me of a thread a week or so ago about worst broadcasters in sports.

    Rated them then labeled them with "broadcast offenses" along with a retarded quote of theirs

    10) John Madden - Incoherent, a blowhard, and an annoying voice. "Not only do you get a first down but you get a whole new set of downs"

    9) Walt Frazier - Incoherent and biased. "A maestro is Nate Robinson, his virtuosity overwhelming the Blazers now. The grandeur, the splendor, the majesty of the little man, slicing between a couple of Blazers."

    8) Mike Patrick - Incoherent. "What is Britney Spears doing with her career" - "What do we care, Britney Spears isn't here?"

    7) Billy Packer - Ignorant and blowhard. When asked by Charlie Rose if packer wanted to help with the '07 finals, "You always fag out on that one for me. You always say you'll be the runner, then you never show up"

    6) Bill Walton - Incoherent, a blowhard, catch phrase happy, and a grating voice. "When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the Romantics."

    5) Bryant Gumbel - Ignorant and a blowhard. "The Patriots...come back on the field for the first time this evening."

    4) Dick Vitale - Grating voice, biased, and catch phrase happy. "Go to my web site, Dick Vitale dot com! You can get my bobblehead and my books and also an alarm clock to wake you up!"

    3) Joe Morgan - Biased and a blowhard. "Anytime you're trying to make statistics tell you who's gonna win the game, that's a bunch of geeks trying to play video games."

    2) Chip Caray - Ignorant. On Carmona vs Pettitte in the ALDS, "You can't get better postseason pitching than we've seen tonight." Oh yeah? How about Don LArsen's perfect game in the '56 World Series

    1) Chris Berman - A blowhard, grating voice, and catch phrase happy. Caught on camera in 2000 before MNF returned from commercial saying "Why does everybody all of a sudden have to move? You've got two fucking hours to move around. Wait 10 minutes. Jesus! Its like no one has worked on TV here before!"

    Yeah I gotta agree, I think Scarlett is fucking hot but there are atleast a dozen of girls on that list that I'd rank ahead of her. And btw, no Emmanuelle Chriqui (Sloan from Entourage), wtttffff

    I made it seem worse than it is. Basically they had six pictures representing different character traits and labeled these guys with them

    What a terrible list.

    The fact that Joe Morgan is even on the list, let alone #3, is appalling.

    Definitely a flawed list. Solid rebounder, great hustle and I'll admit, kinda cute, but nowhere near top 10 hottest imo.

    How te hell was Carrie Underwood not on that list too? Also Angelina Jolie? Maxim seems like they found 100 girls and said they're hot but whose the hottest out of these 100. #1 I'm not impressed.

    Granted it takes a certain sense of humor to find these funny, but I grew up watching Berman every Sunday night on NFL Priiimetiime and he still cracks me up today.

    How can u hate on a guy comin up with such classic nicknames as....

    Bert "Be Home" Blyleven
    Chuck "New Kids on" Knoblauch or Chuck "chip off the ol'" Knoblauch
    Eric "sleeping with" Bienemy
    Curtis "My Faaavorite" Martin
    Andre "Bad Moon" Rison
    Ben "Winter" Coates
    "Ground Control to" David Toms
    Michael "como esta" Husted
    Mike "You're in good hands with" Alstott
    David "Green" Akers
    Doug "Bats in the" Pelfrey
    Chris "he's a baaad" Ma'afalla (Tom Jackson chimin in with the shut chyo moouth)
