    One of my favorite things about NFL Primetime is the way Chris Berman assigns "pet names" to certain players. My favorite "Bermanism" right now is "Reggie Wayne...from Stately Wayne Manor." What's your favorite?

    Some candidates off the top of my head...

    - Rudi! Rudi! Rudi!
    - Curtis "My Favorite" Martin
    - Joe "Little Big" Horn
    - Beer Man
    - Ah... Ah... Az Hakim!
    - Ah... Ah... Ahman Green!
    - Donald "Duke and the" Driver
    - Tom "A Man Named" Brady
    - Jake "Daylight come and I wanna" Delhomme

    I know there are dozens of others, but it's up to YOU to post your favorite. [​IMG]

    I forgot some other obvious ones like "The Bus" and Mike "Good Hands With" Alstott.

    He's got a million of 'em...

    I love Berman and all his craziness!
    Here's some oldies, but goodies...

    Alexander "If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be" Wright
    Vince Workman "my way back to you babe"

    And my personal favorite...

    Eric "Sleeping with" Bienemy

    I also love the vocal inflection when he says Lambeau Field. It cracks me up. He does it on the ESPN videogame too.

    The past couple of years, I have been looking forward to the "Whoops!" when somebody gets juked on the highlights.

    Ah, more things I forgot...

    - Rumblin' Bumblin' Stumblin'
    - He could...go..all...the...way...
    - The New Sombrero
    - It's a FUMBLE!!!

    Yeah, what can I say? I love Berman...

    I TOTALLY forgot about trick plays! I love it when he says things like," What's this? A fake punt! TRICKY Bengals!" That's great stuff.

    Several popular ones come to mind. Besides the ones already listed, Andre "Bad Moon" Rison comes to mind. I always thought Chris Fuamatu "Bad" Ma'afala was pretty sly.

    I think his baseball ones were better...Roberto "Remember the" Alomar, Bert "Be Home" Blyleven, Jim "Two Silhouettes On" Deshaies, Fred "Crime Dog" McGriff ....

    We had this discussion at work recently. It forced me to find this site:

    My fave is when TJ yells knock it down! when they show a hail mary highlight.

    Personally, I like Brett "calling in a" Favre. Oops; That's an
    Adderism.

    I also like when Kenny Mayne used to announce a double play doing baseball highlights "Thats 6-4-3 if you scoring at home or even if your alone."

    I just remembered... I love it when somebody does a fake and he says..."Ooh... Tricky Bengals!" (Or whomever) That's funny stuff.
