ESPN mainstay Chris Berman being pursued by the NFL Network?

"Chris Berman, one of ESPN’s longest tenured on-air talents, is being heavily pursued by the NFL Network," the Big Lead quotes a source as saying. "According to the source, the NFL Network is putting the full court press on Berman – whose contract expires May 10, on his 55th birthday – and it isn’t a sure thing that he’ll return to Bristol. ESPN PR had no comment. If Berman were to move to the NFL Network, it would reunite him with longtime ESPN associate Steve Bornstein, who rose in the ranks alongside Berman in the 80s. A separate source says that Berman and Bornstein – currently President of the NFL Network – are very close, having known each other for almost 30 years."
