Waaay back
Everybody knows Chris Berman's shtick got old sometime during the 90's, but that doesn't mean he can't woo the ladies. Whether or not this story is true, it is one of the funniest things I've ever read:
A friend of mine just told me he's getting married. When he gave me the news I immediately thought of the time we were in Scottsdale at spring training, because it's the best pickup story I've ever been a party to. It was about nine years ago, and I actually forget the bar. But my friend was seriously putting the moves on this somewhat attractive young woman, who was wearing leather pants and had a leather jacket draped over her lap. They had been chatting at the bar for about an hour, and my friend thought he was in the house. I had never seen someone work so hard for a score.
But just as he was putting on the finishing touches, Chris Berman walks by. And without even breaking stride, Berman looks at the girl, points and says "You're with me, leather." And the girl looks up, instantly recognizes Berman, snatches up her jacket and walks out with him, leaving my friend in mid-sentence.
That's gold! Berman, whatever he does, will always have a place in my heart, because he knows all too well that "nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!"
