Wow, that's horrible. I think my favorite memory of him is NFL 2K when the ESPN highlights would run. Of course this was run on Monday Night Football segments as well. "WHOOOOP".

the other guy was 87... what the hell are 87 year olds doing driving around?

My grandmother is 92 and still drives around town. She reads without glasses and is still able to crawl around to get things or to clean when needed. I'd trust her driving than most 16-20 year olds who enjoy snapchatting everything they do including dancing while driving. (I'm only 25 and saying this makes me feel incredibly old).

The headline should read "Burmans wife plows in to 87 yr old and they both die".....

What is it with you posters with less than 1,000 posts constantly saying ridiculous things about anyone and everyone...

She died in a car accident; key word being accident. To say the heading should be as you stated is almost like saying she deserved what she got.

Not enough posts cave dweller...  Come out of your mom's basement little boy...

Damn :/

Prayers up for Berman and family. 

No words can fix it or even comfort right now.  What an awful thing to have to go through.

well in his defense it is a detail worth noting. Whenever you hear about someone being killed in a car accident, you assume it wasn't their fault (at least I always do).

it's still a tragic event either way, but knowing she was at fault and caused the death of another person does make you feel a little more sympathetic for the 87 year old.

It's his birthday as well.  Truly terrible.

It's a detail worth noting in the body of the article detailing what happened. To include that in the title is extremely insensitive to both parties.

..and Berman's birthday and Mother's Day upcoming. Tragedy for both impacted

life is short, too short...that's probably why we are glad for momentary interruptions like Cam's wardrobe vs. Nippleshort's satorial splendor, and the draft and the rest

To live is a privilege.

Very sad news for Chris and his family. Cruel timing just before Mother's Day.  News reports said she was a retired teacher who did a lot of work on Conn to promote literacy.  Also very sad for the other driver's family.

 

By the way..

His family said he was returning home from visiting his wife's grave.

 

And for you critics...the cause of the accident has not been determined. Let's not jump the gun with blame. Just show some compassion.

RIP, Chris Berman's wife.
