"Fittingly, February 12th is Abe Lincoln's birthday."
"At the time I was gonna be the number two guy behind Bob Costas doing football."
"As far as going to work on a regular basis, NFL Primetime would be high on my professional tombstone"
"I was just pointing out what I thought to be obvious facts, the fact that nobody cares that Chris Berman is balding on television"
"Who am I, some dumb kid, to say what should or should not be on those shows?"
Chris Berman talking tennis for 25 minutes...what could go wrong?
"Nice to have you, we’re honored"

“I’ll be damned if anyone says this is for my personal gain. Play the voicemail then, the one that you kept. Play it, I know you have it."
ESPN says Adrienne Lawrence's lawsuit is 'entirely without merit.'
"In early 2016, ESPN's 'The Undefeated' personality Jemele Hill received a threatening and racially disparaging voicemail from Berman on her ESPN phone line."
The Giants trail late, if that matters to you. (It shouldn't.)
