Is ESPN's Chris Berman a Moron, or Just of the Old School?

• Correction - you get paid to be a race-baiting provocateur....and provocative increases readership of your target demographic, which in turn increases ad revenue from all of those breast enlargement clinics, massage parlors, female escorts and head shops. What's my excuse? It's fun and makes me laugh. And like I said, mocking you is irresistible. That's the correct way to deal with those whose beliefs and opinions you find racist, rationally flawed, offensive or just downright obnoxious. If someone's race baiting...don't take the bait. Make fun of them instead and show how absurd their position really is. Gus, buddy, I can tell you're the type of guy who likes to get the last word, you know - with you being obsessive and all, so I'll grant you the opportunity. In fact, I'll even give you tip for your next article. Rumor has it that there are occasionally shopping carts left unattended in Newport Beach grocery store parking lots. You'd better go undercover and investigate. Something might be rotten in suburbia. ;)

• Ah, but that's the difference between you and I, Patch: I get paid to be obsessive. What's your excuse? "Jihad"...talk about pathetic!

• Naw...Don't know where Floral Park is, though I almost bought one of those loft homes near the train station (I know...I know...another example of exploitative white gentrification in a traditionally Hispanic neighborhood). ..and it's not like I seek out your race baiting drivel. OC Weekly articles show up in the headline section of my Yahoo home page, and mocking you proves to be irresistible. On the other hand, making a special trip to a white community, driving around until I happened across a discarded soiled diaper, stopping my vehicle, getting out and taking several photographs of said soiled diaper from several angles, using the digital images as the basis of an article that sought to cast aspersions on a race of people...all to satisfy a jihad against white people living in suburbs....now THAT would be weird and obsessive. and speaking of obsessive, I'm still not getting your preoccupation with Berman's knowledge of OC geography. It's Chris Berman.....CHRIS BERMAN! The is the man who described Sandy Alomar as Sandy Remember-the-Alomar. Since you're all things La Raza, I would think you'd have other stuff to criticize...or at least consider the source.

• Just like the World Series and any ESPN Sunday night game, I had to watch the Home Run Derby on MUTE so I wouldn't take my baseball bat and put through my television MUTE List: Joe Morgan Tim McCarver Chris Berman

• Patchito: Oooh, an obsessive weirdo! Live in Floral Park? Not only that, your rationale regarding city choices is moronic: if the rest of the country is as ignorant about Orange County, how do they know distances between towns?

• Dude, i said the same thing. He always reverences a local location when there is a towering BOMB in that direction. That's been his thing for over 15 years. But come one Chris, get your geography right - we in aren't LA, this is orange county. So GET IT RIGHT, Baby! Ryan Isabella from Irvine

• Come on Gus!..no race angle? Surely Berman is somehow a closet supporter of Arizona's immigration bill. Maybe you're too busy driving around looking for loaded diapers. I think you protest too much. If you're Berman and you're trying to come up with a throw-away witticism, hitting the ball all the way to SJC has more of a ring to it and makes sense to the OC-ignorant rest of the country than does hitting a ball to Fullerton. Conceivably, though, if a lefty is pulling the ball, he could hit it to Yorba Linda. I bet a lot of Americans would recognize that city as the birthplace of our greatest President.

• ESPN, unfamiliar with anything west of the Mississippi? Really?
