It helped but that gay fantasy football is what really made it as big as it is today.

i loved the part of the book where he accuses Tony Kornheiser, a self-proclaimed old man that doesn't understand technology, of "putting this leather thing on the internet".

i'm reading the book now, and enjoying it.

Berman comes off as world class douche in that entire book. The book is a good book though and I recommend it.

well it kind of works out because berman is a world class douche....I'd feel like a real jackass if I named my TD.com username after him.

hey have you guys seen the clip of him catching that pass at tampa bay training camp??? OMG he needs to show that clip more!

NFL Primetime on Sunday nights at 6:30 was the best show. I was thinking the other day that ESPN needs to bring it back. I don't know of any other show that does strictly NFL highlights from that day, except for Sunday night football on NBC (and they are terrible)

Bring back NFL Primetime on Sunday nights!!!

I thought he was a jerk when I saw that off-air rant he did, LINK.

Didn't know about the "You're with me, leather" but I just read the wiki page on it, that is hilarious.

Why not? Something to do with NBC Sunday night football I'm guessing?
