"One of the wackiest scenarios we've seen from one of the wildest hours of football."

"He had the trust of every viewer and the admiration of all his peers."

"Not on the red line, he's on the goal line!"

Berman's colorful player nicknames and exuberant calls have been a staple of ESPN shows for decades.

"Who am I, some dumb kid, to say what should or should not be on those shows?"

ESPN has apparently checked out from their sports programming to present a Chris Berman-introduced Eagles concert film.
