A slightly big piece of news this week was Chris Berman’s announcement that he will step down as ESPN’s primary NFL studio host moving forward. He will host some shows on occasion and make other appearances, but he is taking a significant step away from his previous role at the World Wide Leader.
Berman grew frustrating at times, but I don’t know anybody that didn’t love NFL Primetime back in the day. Back before NFL Red Zone and being able to get any and all highlights you needed on the Internet, NFL Primetime was the go-to show. In the mid-to-late 90s, NFL Primetime and Sportscenter might have been my two favorite sports-related shows.
