"It's absolutely crazy that they don't see him as the future."
"Randy wants to see You Got Mossed today. He was adamant that we do it today, so we've got to do it right."
"He has ESPN's full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready."
"I just want to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally."
"Defenders know who this guy is. It's gonna come. This is a Cyndi Lauper true colors game."
"You could not pay me enough money to play for the Carolina Panthers."
Laura Rutledge deserves better from ESPN than being passed over for both Mike Greenberg and Scott Van Pelt the last two seasons.
Greeny and Laura Rutledge were considered the top candidates for the gig.
Mike Greenberg and Laura Rutledge are reportedly candidates to replace Ponder on Sunday NFL Countdown.
News of ESPN's firings of Robert Griffin III and Sam Ponder broke Thursday afternoon, but the former QB may have left a hint earlier.
The firings are reportedly due to budgetary issues.
"Mike Tomlin gets to dictate what happens here, not the Pittsburgh Steelers."
"These officials think just because he's big, strong, and fast, that when he starts to slide, he really doesn't mean it."
"Man, Marshall University, stand up! I'm in the Hall of Fame, man!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"We’re all flawed and we shouldn’t require more out of a ballplayer than we do ourselves. But this is about whether or not Deshaun Watson is a serial sexual abuser."
Three separate pregame shows all wound up with their analysts all picking the Bucs.
Two big changes to ESPN NFL pre-game shows revolve around Tedy Bruschi and Louis Riddick.
"And for everybody out there that tuned in and watched me every week, I'll see you next season. Somewhere. Stay tuned."
This will be only the third time in Sunday NFL Countdown's 33-year-history that the show has gone on the road.
ESPN will have Berman do three-to-four minute "Berman's Blast" SportsCenter features on NFL rivalries, starting with one on the Packers and Bears.
Berman could end up anchoring Sunday editions of SportsCenter, too.
The Giants QB didn't appreciate the comments made by his former coach.
