Good riddens.

In fairness, it was nice to turn on NFL Live after watching a drunken & surly Coatch Ditker trying unsuccessfully to bully Johnny Morris.
But that, and Berman's shtick is now almost 30 years old.

Thanks to video, it's easily proven that neither fact has changed. It was funny then, now just go away. And take 3/4s of ESPN with you.

This is glorious news. That insufferable, bloated sack of protoplasm and Stuart Scott are the two main reasons I stopped watching ESPN.

Berman's worst line: "It's truly a Phil Collins day here at Dodger Stadium. No jacket required."

There were worse than him. At least there was a point in his career where he was entertaining. There are ESPN "stars" who have never had a moment where they entertained.

And that was many years ago. I'll take Bob Ley or Charlie Steiner over him any day.

Just like an affair, Berman was great the first year you knew him and then eventually ruins your life.

Rich Eisen referenced this on his show today. They shared an agent when at ESPN, the agent and Berman both told Eisen the rumor is false. Eisen had some vitriol for anyone mongering this rumor from ESPN- saying that Berman earned the right to go out as he wanted, not because someone else said so. I kinda see his point, I am no longer a BigFan, but in his day he was one of the best, and pretty much created the standards for sports television as we see it today.

wonder if this is a voluntary retirement or if ESPN's continuing to downsize as cable subscription revenues continue to decline.

538's days gotta be numbered. they'll keep em around through the election. After that, I don't see ESPN continuing to support that hobby site when they chopped Grantland and Grantland had actual traffic and readers and paying sponsors.

Dude should've stayed at the NYT.

He's not the easiest to listen to but I'd like to know who replaces him before deciding how happy I am with his retirement ... which, incidentally, isn't necessarily happening:

https://twitter.com/RichSandomir/status/736025244796891136?s=09

Chris Berman's agent denies retirement report:"Chris is NOT retiring. Loves what he's doing too much and is too young to hang 'em up."

If you haven't read it, http://deadspin.com/166410/he--could--go--all--the--way -- this was why the Uproxx sports site was known as With Leather (RIP).
