ESPN legend Chris Berman was behind the desk for his signature “Fastest 3 Minutes” highlight segment during halftime of Chiefs-Ravens broadcast Monday night. It wasn’t the smoothest three minutes of his career. In it, Berman botched two names of quarterbacks — MVP hopeful Josh Allen of the Bills and the recently benched Mitchell Trubisky of the Bears — in a span of 15 disastrous seconds.
There was another swing and a miss for Berman, who said the Texans (he clearly meant Titans) are 3-0.
Berman’s blunders can probably be attributed to Freudian slips — “Jared Allen” was a prominent NFL player at one point. Though the mistake-riddled segment led some to wonder if the veteran host has lost his fastball.
Luckily for Berman, most viewers didn’t seem to notice his slip-ups, praising the ESPN lifer for his humor and enthusiasm, including a probably unintentional Cardi B reference.
Berman’s “Nick” Trubisky gaffe got plenty of traction on social media Monday night, but he probably won’t have to say his Trubisky's name again for a while. Coach Matt Nagy announced Monday that Nick Foles will serve as the starter going forward, leaving Trubisky as the Bears’ backup.
