You’re With Me, Double-Breasted Suit
By Jamie Mottram | November 12, 2008
As a sports blogger, it’s part of my makeup to loathe Chris Berman and the punny nicknames he hands out like so many Chinese food samples at the Tyson’s Corner food court. Like bad sesame chicken, there’s not much Jake “Daylight Come and You Gotta” Delhomme one can take before something wicked this way comes.
But back in ‘93, I was infatuated with ESPN, “Boomer” included, and Upper Deck’s Berman’s Best subset resides at the convergence of those that I loved: the Worldwide Leader, the NFL and, of course, football cards. That ultramarine, six-on-two double-breasted jacket is still a hot mess though.

Oh dear god. I bet this dbag ends up in the HOF too for his coverage of the NFL.

WOW, did the Berman of now EAT the Berman of then???

No, Littles, thanks to NutriSystem, Berman’s not bloated anymore!

Berman wore that same jacket, shirt, and tie combo 3 weeks ago on NFL countdown.

I’m not sure which is more heinous – the jacket or the tie. The whole ensemble is an early 90’s disaster.
