Report: Chris Berman to retire from ESPN after 2016 NFL season

Chris Berman is Retiring From ESPN After the 2016 Football Season

By: Jason McIntyre

Chris Berman, the longtime ESPN sportscaster who has been with the company since 1979, is leaving the network after next football season, multiple sources tell The Big Lead. Berman is in the final year of his contract, which ends sometime after the 2016-2017 football season. He is expected to retire, rather than leave for another network.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz declined comment this week.

Berman, 61, joined the network a month after its inception in 1979 and in addition to being one of the company’s longest-tenured employees, he’d certainly go on ESPN’s Mount Rushmore. As such, the network has lavish plans for a send-off that one source said might be akin to the way the Lakers sent Kobe Bryant into retirement. ESPN is currently preparing “summer camp” for its NFL TV team – which will feature new faces like Matt Hasselbeck, Randy Moss and Charles Woodson – and plans are being hatched for Berman’s send-off.

Who will replace Berman on the network’s popular “Monday Night Countdown” and “Sunday NFL Countdown” shows? Many have written that longtime NFL Live host Trey Wingo is a natural fit to replace Berman, but there is a strong internal push for Suzy Kolber to take over Berman’s chair.

No decision is expected anytime soon.

  • I like Wilbon and Kornheiser.
  • Some college football isn't bad.

Aside from that not sure what else I watch. Even getting basic scores at the bottom anymore take an hour to get to the score you like with all the other bullshit they send across the screen.

Funny thing, in the morning financial channel CNBC just scrolls scores like a true ticker. Much better. Fantasy sports ruined the ticker with all the stats they toss across after each game score.
Agreed. I just use my phone to get scores. Back in the day I used cnn who went through the scores much quicker than ESPN. Do I really care to see what 5 players from each team did or who had The game Winning rbi in the 6th ****ing inning?

And really, ESPN does an okay job with NBA broadcasts (except for Van Gundy). The problem is that TNT's coverage of the NBA is just so vastly superior that ESPN/ABC becomes the network that makes people disappointed because they're not being treated to the best.

I loved Berman and Jackson doing the NFL game recaps. Berman is a symbol of back in the day before ESPN had a camera crew at a 7th round draft picks house waiting for him to kiss his boyfriend.

**** ESPN.

I literally do not watch any of their other shows, and cant remember the last time I checked their website

But Berman and the Countdown show has always been my favorite

how many people are on the pre and post-game panels now? 12? 9? 24?


...it should be 24. because there's nothing I like more than listening to 10+ people talk at the same time on TV.


it was awesome when it was just TJ and Berman back in the day.

NFL Primetime with Berman/Jackson was can't miss with the long form highlights (also remember when Stuart Scott was on the show and they would give him highlights for the crappy games).
