“On a professional level, ESPN gave me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to write and talk fantasy sports on every possible ESPN platform.

Damn, this really is a huge loss for ESPN. Matthew Berry is without a doubt one of the most visible faces and names associated with ESPN.
Not only is he one of the most well-known people to work there, but he’s the face of fantasy sports for the network.
