Nicknames Chris Berman mentions
I would say that this is the perfect example of listcruft. Is there an encyclopaedic topic nicknames mentioned by Chris Berman? Doesn't look like it. A list of terms of an arbitrary type uttered by an arbitrarily selected presenter. And guess how many of them are cited? What was that? None at all, you guessed? Well done, bang on the money.

 * Delete unless citations can be provided. Berman is famous for his nicknaming "abilities" (I'm in Australia and only ever hear him doing it when I get my NFL fix, but I still know it's a big thing he does), and a list could well be a worthwhile thing to have, but only with sources.

 * Comment If this is kept, I'd suggest moving to List of Bermanisms to conform to list-naming standards and to use the widely-accepted term for Berman's bit. Caknuck 15:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The only sources are a Wiki article, Austin.rr.com (?), and Funny2.com (?!?!?!?). Delete. SupaStarGirl 21:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep But I agree that "If this is kept, I'd suggest moving to List of Bermanisms to conform to list-naming standards and to use the widely-accepted term for Berman's bit." as Caknuck points out. As to 'citing actual sources,' most of these Bermanisms—even all—may derive from simply watching Berman on ESPN. (I recognize virtually all the baseball examples, most-to-all used on multiple occasions/broadcasts.) Thus, there is no citable text or website. This also happens to be a very thorough list of Bermanisms and explanations of their meanings/derivations, thus it's very valuable. D3gtrd 3:44, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
