During Monday Night Football tonight on ESPN TV Barack Obama and John McCain will be interviewed at halftime.
This could well be the last national interview before the election tomorrow and Monday Night Football gets a pretty big audience and having Obama and McCain on the night before the election. The interview is taped, but still, it's a pretty big deal.
Probably the last major national audience that either will get so you think that they would give it to a fairly reputable sportscaster.
I thought that they may have the very reputable Bob Ley or Monday Night Football play by play man Mike Tirico.
Who did ESPN/ABC give this interview to?
Chris Berman.
Berman has been with ESPN since it was founded, is a very recognizable sportscaster and probably the most famous on their network. He's a smart guy educated at Brown University, but to say Berman is a clown would be an understatement.
I don't care if the whole interview is about sports or football, but think that putting the potential next President of the United States on TV with Chris Berman when you have so many reputable and serious sports journalists,,, lessens this great opportunity that ESPN had.
