Chris Berman Needs to Upgrade to JC Penney's

Listen, I fully realize that Chris Berman has made some monumental contributions to popular culture – to name just a few:

(1) Creating some terrific sports nicknames (which didn’t even start getting tired and played until the late 1990s);

(2) Coming up with a phenomenal catchphrase (“He… Could! Go! All! The! Way!”) which has tremendous cross-over potential and has all sorts of utility, including yelling at a buddy who’s trying to throw game at a young lady in a bar;

(3) Stretching the acceptable boundaries of how far a guy with a receding hairline can effectively carry The Combover (which I thought was Zero, but Berman is redefining the boundaries);

Last but certainly not least, (4) Being responsible for probably the greatest ‘snowclone’ line in recorded human history, which is of course: “You’re with me, leather”.

So I have nothing but respect for the guy (obviously) but can anyone please get a message to Berman that he needs to do *something* – once and for ALL – about his hideous ties?! His choices in neckwear are so atrocious that Dude makes Rush Limbaugh look like Cary Grant. The patterns on those things are more hopelessly convoluted than the plot of an episode of “Heroes”.

(The black & white pic is a good shot of The Combover)

By the way, just in case anyone reading this has NOT heard the “You’re with me, leather” story, you can check it out by typing into Wikipedia the words: You’re with me, leather . Or just click here and you can read all about it.
