I am sad because I been watching him since 1988 and he was the highlight of my sunday for 29 years. No need to watch ESPN Next fall

ESPN's ratings are in the tank. A lot of people already aren't watching. Curious if it tanks further once their most recognizable personality is gone.

Probably will because it's definitely not in the tank because of him it's due to the internet and social media.

Eh, he hasn't done much for me since the 90's really. IMO his talent is replaceable.

Problem is, from what I have seen ESPN has been bringing in some pretty bad replacements for everyone that has left. I'm not left with a lot of confidence that they will find anyone better.

I don't watch ESPN "NFL SuNDAY or COUNTDOWN" or whatever its called now.. i used to. At one time, i loved that show.. before that there were network shows that had only a 30 min. pregame show 'NFL TODAY' by CBS.. those were great as well.. Now we are simply flooded with NFL 24/7 365.. it gets old.. so i watch the games i care about and little else..

Chris Berman is tiring to watch these days.

I stopped watching it once it became 2 hours. I would just watch the very beginning and a little toward the end
