These are my 5 most impactful ESPN experiences:

1 Berman and Tom Jackson were peak ESPN. The music for NFL prime time is better than Soundgarden.
2 Rich Eisen and Stuart Scott were my Sportscenter duo in college. I was too young for Patrick and Olberman.
3 Also in college, I was a huge NHL junkie and loved Bill Pidto and Barry Melrose doing NHL Tonight and Gary Thorne and Bill Clement calling games with Darrin Pang doing interviews and bench reporting.
4 I hate Mike Lupica, but I really liked The Sports Reporters when John Saunders was at the helm. RIP.
5 Been watching or listening to PTI since its inception so Wilbon and Kornheiser are who I most strongly associate with the network.

Good list Peeps.
I appreciated Bob Ley and Outside the Lines more as I got older.

Berman and Jackson on Primetime were the best ever when we relied on highlight shows to tell us what happened before smart phones.

Dick Schaap hosting Sports Reporters on Sunday mornings and Jaws on Monday Night Matchup were good too.

I cut my teeth on Olberman and Patrick. Stuart Scott was cool as the other side of the pillow.

“Berman, 70, will have a prominent role in the network's first Super Bowl broadcast in 2027”
