Chris Berman Signed a “Multi-Year” Extension at ESPN and Here are Videos to Celebrate the Occasion

All, ESPN, Video Jason McIntyre September 7th. 2012, 11:35am

Chris Berman is staying at ESPN. Apparently, he didn’t have the options he had in 2010, when the NFL Network made a move. From the press release:

Six-time National Sportscaster of the Year Chris Berman, who joined ESPN in October 1979 – less than a month after the network launched – has signed a new multi-year extension to remain with ESPN. One of the preeminent sports commentators of his generation, Berman will continue as the leading voice and face of ESPN’s National Football League studio coverage as host of Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown and Monday Night Football halftime, NFL highlight segments on SportsCenter and the NFL Draft. He will also continue to host the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby and ESPN’s U.S. Open golf coverage.

And now, some classic Berman videos:

He is a clown. A complete douche that sucks the fun out of events like the HR derby and others.
He should be put on Versus or whatever the fuck it is called now. Out of site and hopefully out of mind.

No fucking way. I watch that shit during hockey season. I don’t want him over there.
ESPN might be the best place for him. Maybe they can kind of hide him, doing bullshit like the HR derby.

Him and Tom Jackson still do the best highlights in the business since the NFLN always seems to have either Deion or Irvin around…just keep him away from golf and baseball and we’re good

If people are careless enough to watch ESPN with the sound on, then I’m glad they’re stuck with Berman. He is a guy to root for.
