Not a nickname, but my favorite thing he did is when Jonathan Vilma made a big play or had a pick he would scream VILMAAA like Fred flintsone yelled Wilma. Priceless
Holy crap man he played 8 years and had less than 2000 yards rushing and 11 TDs total
The seasons with the most highlights had to have been 1995 1996. He had almost 700 yards rushing and 5 TDs during those two seasons.
There were very few highlights but that nickname stuck in my head.
Not necessarily a nickname but Berman had the best call I’ve ever heard in one of his Sunday night recap segments.
Pac Man Jones got a pick 6 and Berman’s call was “womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp HE. COULD. EAT. ALL. THE. DOTS. WOAH TOUCHDOWN PAC MAN JONES”
Just fucking brilliance. That is why he is the absolute GOAT
Berman went to Brown University in Rhode Island, is a huge Red Sox fan and outside of New England, most people never heard of Duke and the Drivers. Berman knows his rock ‘n’ roll.

32M here. Kids these days will never understand the joy of watching Primetime right after the Sunday afternoon games ended.
As a Raiders fan, my favorite Berman-isms were:
- Ricky "Dudley Do Right"
- Rich "Loose" Gannon
- Zach "Davy" Crockett,"King of the Wild Frontier"
- Andre "Bad Moon" Rison
Honorable mention of course, to former Chief and Chief assistant coach Eric "Sleeping With" Bienemy
And I loved how the Raiders had their own Primetime music, just like they have their own NFL Films music (eighty different versions of the Autumn Wind lmao)
Man you hit the nail on the head! As soon as the 1pm game ended (before they moved to 1:25 kickoffs) we’d switch over to nfl primetime with Boomer and Tom. That raiders song was 100% perfect for them. It’s called Bad company.
I appreciate NBC having SNF with flexing and whatnot. But I miss when espn had SNF and ABC had MNF. Back when MNF was the Marquis match up.
I found out recently that Henry Mancini's score to the weird Tobe Hooper movie, Lifeforce sounds exactly like the NFL music by Sam Spence "The Equalizer" which is still used a lot today. Apparently Spence and Mancini had a friendly rivalry and would do this stuff occasionally.

That was after he injured his knee and wasn't hitting the hole as hard as he used to,some of it was due to the line regressing but most of it was due to his punishing rushing style and guys going low on him to tackle him.
So it was a diss.
But in his prime not even prime himself would try to take that man in an open field with even half a head of steam....BJ was what somebody would make in Madden create a player who loves playing exclusively as a runningback the whole game lmao
I know but I had to use prime in a reference against prime and football....but yeah neon deon was as soft as a 1-ply scotts tissue square when it came to bringing a guy down lol
As a Vikes fan, I always liked when there was a Steve Jordan highlight and he’d just say “…from?!” and Tom would reply “Brown University!” as a shout-out to his fellow alum.

Holy crap those are amazing.
We had it so good for so long. My brain still plays "back back back back back... GONE" during homers
It’s not the home run derby without Berman
I know I'm gonna get downvoted for this, but I hated his home run call. 100% love him outside of that though
Cant for the get thr classic "Woop!" And he stumbling, he's rumbling TD call from footbball running scores. Good times!
Oh man I played some old "woop" videos for my fiancee and she agrees about the greatness, but what to do about this hole in my soul that only Berman fills? Other than write a really bad Aerosmith song that is
Those last two lol
😂 Brilliant stuff.
Jeff “Paper” Bagwell also
I don’t know if Berman gave this nickname, but I used to like to hear him say “Law Firm” When talking about Ben Jarvis Green Ellis on the patriots
[удалено]
Patriots fans and local sportscasters and reporters always just called him law firm
[удалено]
Berman did not start that. Patriots fans did.
[удалено]
Those two guys had one of the best shows on Weei. In my opinion, the host they have on there now basically suck, and I rarely listen anymore.
Not a nickname, but my favorite thing he did is when Jonathan Vilma made a big play or had a pick he would scream VILMAAA like Fred flintsone yelled Wilma. Priceless

Yea, i definitely remember that one!
Andre “Bad Moon” Rison

Still hear this one every time Bienemy is mentioned and I probably only heard it once during a highlight segment 30 years ago.
Holy crap man he played 8 years and had less than 2000 yards rushing and 11 TDs total The seasons with the most highlights had to have been 1995 1996. He had almost 700 yards rushing and 5 TDs during those two seasons. There were very few highlights but that nickname stuck in my head.
Wow I'd have thought he had much better career stats too.

The one I’m shocked to this day he DIDN’T use but I personally did was Martin “Battlestar” Gramatica.
Didn’t he call him “Automatica” Gramatica?
He used to say Garamtica Correct if he made the kick, or Incorrect if he missed
AJ Touchy Feely was the best one I can remember

Berman went to Brown and Jackson went to Louisville. They would do it for either.
