Chris Berman will be back, back, back for a little bit longer on the ESPN airwaves.
The well-known ESPN personality told Alex Sherman on the “CNBC Sport” podcast published Thursday that he will step away from broadcasting after his contract with the network ends after the 2029 NFL season.
“I’ll be almost 75, I think the nation’s more than had enough of me,” Berman said. “I’m semi-retired now. I’m just so proud of where we’ve been from Day 1 to getting a Super Bowl.”
Berman, 70, had been a part of the relaunching of “NFL Primetime” on ESPN+ alongside co-host Booger McFarland and the show aired on ESPN the night of the Super Bowl.
The longtime ESPN host has been a part of a number of programs over the years, from “SportsCenter” to the network’s Major League Baseball coverage.
Berman anchored “Monday Night Countdown” and “Sunday NFL Countdown” during their runs on the network.
He is often recognized for his zany catch phrases, which he would break out during the MLB Home Run Derby and for other broadcasts.
“He could…go…all…the…way!” and “Back, back, back, back…Gone!” have become some of his most recognizable sayings.
