Too bad, this guy was always class and great unlike the fat *** unfunny Berman.
I read that he was still mulling it over.

He's gone, they rehired Trent Dilfer to take his place.
Well apparently its too hard for you to post a story.
Tom Jackson won’t be back at ESPN
Posted by Mike Florio on July 25, 2016, 9:50 PM EDT
The report from Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News that Tom Jackson will leave ESPN provided some wiggle room for the veteran analyst to return to Sunday NFL Countdown for what would be his 30th season. Multiple industry sources tell PFT that the decision has been made: Jackson won’t be coming back.
As one source explained it, ESPN’s decision to bring back Trent Dilfer after his contract had expired and it appeared he would leaving arose in part from Jackson’s decision to leave.
Jackson had long been regarded as being tied at the hip with on-air partner Chris Berman. With Berman reportedly entering his last year at ESPN, it’s somewhat odd that Jackson wouldn’t want to do a victory lap with Berman.
Unless, of course, that victory lap will be all about Berman and/or consist of Berman complaining about the fact that ESPN management has apparently nudged him out.

it was also reported that Keyshawn, Cris Carter and Ray Lewis are out too. Sounds like a complete overhaul.

TJ was great. I bet he's just retiring and golfing and loving life now. I wouldn't work anymore if I didn't have to.
Uh oh, so does this mean they are going to bring Emmitt Smith back? "He bow'd up the blockin' scheme for the Offside kick off recovery".

I'm pretty sure it isn't the color that is the cause of the firing............... Ray Lewis was short on tackles this year

TJ had class and an account as a former player. He will be missed.
I hear ESPN behinds the scenes is full in-fighting amongst the sportscasters.
Berman has to go. The poor guy hasn't been cool since the early 1990's. Now he's a cancerous old man. Youtube some of his angry rants when he thinks he's off camera, you'll laugh

Tape stated that others were out too. All were off the same demographic or skin color. I pointed it out. WHat are you smh about?
it is the obligation of the individual starting a thread to provide a link and/or a portion of the story related to their thread so those of us who read the thread will know where the originator read his information and can follow the link to read more if interested.....
Good riddance Keyshawn and Ray Ray...I kind of like Cris Carter's commentary.
Well I'll just make it so he can't start threads when I get home from work.

I really liked Jackson and nothing was better than him and Berman on Prime Time. I definitely miss Jackson, the guy knew and loved to talk about football.
30 years on air is very impressive. He deserves all the time off he can get. I hope it's not heath related, because it does seem odd to me that he wouldn't finish the last season with Berman, and they both retire together. As much as people may hate Berman, the 2 together complimented each other very well and created an entertaining post game show, that was nearly as exciting as watching the games!
In an era before NFL Red Zone, this was the only way to get the highlights, stats, and stories from ALL of the games on Sunday. I will sorely miss this team, even though I haven't watched ESPN in a decade outside of an actual sporting event.
