Report: Chris Berman to retire from ESPN after 2016 NFL season
http://thebiglead.com/2016/05/26/chr...ng-espn-after/

Quote:
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.

Same. Ended every football Sunday since I don't know when with his highlight show.

I hope he resurfaces on one of the NFL Sunday morning shows. That's what he is best at.

Except is anyone saying they haven't watched it "ever"? Or are you just inventing that to fit your hipster narrative?

I see a lot of people that say they haven't watched in a long time. That's because it's become a garbage network outside of some of the actual sports broadcasts. ESPN got huge because it used to be great. Now it's sinking because it's trash. Simple concept.

Barry Melrose and Chris Berman are the last reasons I watched ESPN. Well, 30 for 30 actually had had a few good episodes. Cable and satellite are dead to me either way. I'll occasionally buy 2 draft beers while watching the 2nd half of the Chiefs game at el' rancho but that's about it.

I loved NFL prime time growing up. The NFL show on the other channel is good now.

No kidding. Their pregame shit was awful. I'm glad they cleaned house. I used to not mind him but I've grown tired of him. Glad he's finally retiring and bring in new blood next year.

Same here. A very long time ago the network was going to get rid of him, I believe it was after ABC acquired ESPN and the fans rallied in his favor.
