dfwabel Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 While I personally fretted at the thought of hearing Chris Berman going through his nicknames at Augusta National, it appears that ESPN knew that viewers and the members of Augusta National would not approve of his 'comedy".NY Post reports no Berman for The MastersThis past October, from the moment ESPN announced it had entered the mix to televise the Masters, the fear and loathing among golf fans in anticipation of Chris Berman's smothering presence has grown by the day. With the Masters just three weeks away, e-mails, once expressing mere anguish, have begun to arrive carrying vague "goodbye-cruel-world" threats. The imagined sounds of Berman on the telecasts - "K.J. Choi To The World, for par" - have made people tense as a mousetrap. Relax. Berman will have nothing to do with this year's Masters telecasts, no presence whatsoever. There's not even a pro-am for ESPN to show him clowning in. Mike Tirico will be the only ESPN person seen through the network's Thursday and Friday, 4-7 p.m. window. And Tirico is assigned to conduct interviews from Butler Cabin.
