Chris Berman really has it in for the Dolphins and loves the Bills. What a homer!
I understand a player like "Stink" knowing more about Denver and perhaps having some Bias for a team with which he won a SB. But, Berman is not an ex-jock, he's a professional.
Don't get me wrong, I think Berman, overall, is one of the best of all-time at what he does. And, I could tolerate his love for Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith, et al and the Bills of that era - laying aside my love for Marino and the Dolphins - they were a talented team to watch. And, Kelly is a good guy.
But, his continued homerism for Buffalo and against Miami is starting to get under my skin. In selecting the gamebreakers, he picks Dick Jauron the Bills coach for sacking Culpepper so many times in the game! Come on. The Bills were not that great. Miami was that bad.
Culpepper gave away a 2-3 of those sacks and just really bad blocking as well as a mix up on one blitz.
If Miami starts playing well, you watch. Berman's voice will be different compared to the excitement he shows over the success of other teams. It will sound like a grudging concession.
