Fans are shocked after seeing the bottom half of Chris Berman’s body.
Earlier this year, Berman revealed that he would be retiring from broadcasting in 2029, 50 years after making his ESPN debut.
“I did tell our president, Jimmy Pitaro, when they were foolish enough to sign me — I’m going to be here 50 years,” Berman said in an interview with CNBC. “I said, ‘You may never have another guy or woman here (50 years). I don’t know.
“You’ve got to have a gold Mickey Mouse watch in somebody’s drawer that you could give to me when I get to 50 years in 2029.”
“I’m signed through that season and I’ll be almost 75. I think the nation’s more than had enough of me,” he said.
Over the weekend, Berman made a rare public appearance at the NFL Hall of Fame. A video of Berman walking around at the Hall of Fame went viral on social media.

Fans commented about how this is the first time they’ve ever seen Berman standing up.
“I’ve never seen him standing in my life he’s literally built for that job” said one fan.
“Chris Berman, too, thinks the risk to reward ratio of deadlifts is too dang high.” commented another fan.
