If you haven’t heard Chris Berman’s quest for the Greatest Sports Highlight being teased on ESPN, then you haven’t watched in about 4 weeks.  They are asking for input from viewers through espn.com to log-on and vote for their favorite.  They have narrowed the field from 100 highlights to 16 and are now having a tournament bracket to vote on those remaining and determine the Greatest Sports Highlight.  I have a lot of favorite highlights from games (mostly college) including Lorenzo Charles’ final shot of the 1983 season dunking after Whittenburg’s airball, but how are you gonna make us pick just one highlight from all sports?  I just can’t see how you can compare the highlights from a Master’s Championship to a National Championship in College Basketball to the NFL Playoffs?  I think they should have had us vote for the Greatest Highlight from all of the major sports and that would even get some sports that aren’t as widely recognized to have their own highlights recognized. 

But all that aside, check out Berman’s greatest highlights posted to youtube from on the set of some of the games and shows he has hosted.  He isn’t exactly making friends…  There are a few posted on youtube now, and they seem to be growing in number.  So here’s a look at Berman’s top three greatest highlights that haven’t been recognized until recently:

Berman respects his elders, and wants to give them their space:

Berman values the equipment in the studios:

I also had up a video of Berman politely asking the production crew to stop moving, but the F-bombs were about to take over so I had to take it off. You can find it on youtube, along with other Berman interviews posted by ampex2000
