I saw that. End of an era.

Love him or hate him, he’s a huge part of what made fantasy football as mainstream as it is today.

I’m guessing gambling content is going to start taking the place of fantasy and with Berry likely having a pretty high salary, a mutual parting of ways just made sense

We’re going to see his mug all over daily fantasy commercials

Imagine Berry saying “MAKE.IT.RAIN” every commercial break during football season

I wonder how much DFS even gets pushed this fall, FD and DKs seem entirely focused on the sports books

You should try to get his position. You’re the only one who gets things more wrong than Matt Berry.

To his credit, I think ESPN forced him way too hard into commercializing last few years. Everything’s been downhill since DraftKings started sponsoring ESPN and he had to put the DraftKings stuff into Love/Hate. The hate was so intense on that (I hated it myself) that there was a ton of backlash and ESPN had him move it to its own little section. But from there they kept making him do other stuff, and eventually had him put Love/Hate behind a paywall along with his ESPN show. And the podcast sucked bc Field Yates is just the worst, truly unbearable company man who has zero personality and just sucked Berry’s dick all day so Berry got ridiculously comedic to where it wasn’t funny

I used to be a big fan of Berry bc I liked his content, even though it wasnt quality analyzing

This back and forth was fantastic

Gtothemoney goes for a haymaker and BilJ ducks it and delivers the knockout

He's painfully unfunny.

The early fantasy focus podcast years were gold. Nate the weasel! Berry is corny and has been passed up by more analytical content but he he helped take FF to a wider audience.
