“On a professional level, ESPN gave me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to write and talk fantasy sports on every possible ESPN platform. On a personal level, ESPN is where I made lifelong friends, met my wife and started my family. I am forever indebted to ESPN,” Berry wrote in part. You can read his full statement below.

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.

As fantasy sports have grown more popular, Berry has only seen his stock and profile rise in the same fashion. Now, after more than 15 years with the network, he’s decided it’s time to ride off into the sunset and find a new adventure.

It happens with everyone, and Berry is clearly not an exception.

I have no doubt Berry will crush whatever he chooses to do next!
