Bernie Kosar Hammered on the Air?

I just heard a clip of Bernie Kosar doing analysis (?) for a Browns game...when Brady Quinn came in for his first snap as a pro.
Kosar sounds DRUNK!! On the air!!
Anyone heard this clip?

I heard it on a Local Sports Talk Station, 790 the Zone, here in Atlanta. Just looking for a little local opinion...
 
Anybody who has followed the Browns since the 99 return doesn't need to hear the clip to know what you mean. People in Cleveland have heard that same thing since 99. A lot of people have accused him of being drunk on-air. I questioned that several times when producing the CBRN Pre/Post shows...people who "know" him say that "he's not drunk," "it's not like him," he was "tired," "just woke up," "he was with his kids and wouldn't drink around them," etc, etc...or they claim not to hear what I'm talking about at all. There was always an excuse.

My guess has always been...IF he's not drinking...it's the onset of Parkinsons or some other neurological disorder. He's been through a lot of dings to the head over the years...
 
Bernie is not drunk. I know people that know Bernie. He suffered many blows to the head during his career. If you listen to audio of him towards the final years of his career, you'll notice that his speech was somewhat slurred back then. I would not be surprised if at some point in time he announces that he has the beginnings of allzhimers disease. But drunk.....no way!
