I just witnessed the lowest point in the history of sports broadcasting

It used to be within this clip (seriously, take your pick), but Chris Berman has wrested away the title, with this at 6:58 PM CDT on ESPN today, September 27, 2009 (mark your calendars):
"I'm looking at two years of the Jets. They've had two different head coaches in the two years. But they pushed the envelope a year ago and brought in Brett Favre. And people are like, "(Unintelligible Chris Berman noise), it didn't work." No. They beat Tennessee when they were 10-0, they won up in New England. They were 9-7, they didn't make the playoffs but there was hope for the Jets fans and for the Jets players. And he taught some of the young players -- maybe even on defense -- about winning."
Look, I know Favre made a great throw to beat the 49ers today, but c'mon. The guy the Jets couldn't get rid of fast enough because he was so disliked in the locker room, who cost them a playoff spot after an 8-3 start by throwing nine interceptions against two touchdown passes as the team sputtered to a 1-4 finish... He's the one that gets the credit for the Jets' great start? Really?

Jesus Christ. It never ends.
