Old Sportscasters just fade away...thank Gawd.


Now Vin Scully is a different bird in another bush....

Scully is greatness

I heard Berman was quite the cockhound.

Scully is greatness

Yeah, I like Scully as well. Never tried to compete with or become bigger than the game.

Never understood the dislike of Boomer. I always liked the dude. Him and Tom Jackson are a great combo!

I never got it either. He was, and is, one of the best ever. I will miss him.

Gotta agree with the fellas who are saying that Berman was likeable way back in the early days of ESPN, but his schtick is tired as hell now. Tom Jackson is just an asshole. I would say I wont miss either one of them, but I haven't watched any pre-game, post game or half time commentary in quite a while.............mostly because of clowns like these two.

"Berman's agent adds, on retirement report: "Perhaps people with an agenda put it out there."
Perhaps ESPN "leaked" this?????

Retiring and not returning to ESPN are not the same thing.

Maybe retiring means firing.

"He. Could. Go. All. The. Way."

I wonder if he was used that line during sex.........

Its a visceral reaction, much like trying to understand the major hate against Tom Brady by certain people on here.
