The Big Lead 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 next football season. He is expected to retire, rather than leave for another network.

ESPN’s mass exodus continues with Boomer’s end in sight. 

While he hasn’t brought much to the table in years his absence will be noticeable especially if Suzy Kolber takes over his NFL Countdown Seat. 

So let us raise our pill bottles and throw back a handful of dew dew dews, Canadian asprin with Codeine.
