Has anyone asked the Eagles offensive lineman for a public comment?
Side note, I've talked to a half dozen people that have met Berman socially and every one of them said he was a complete jerk. And I'm using the word jerk to avoid the language filter.

I've heard the same. Like, doesn't even give people the time of day.
Kraken at least is super approachable and would apparently converse on twitter with his fans, till he got told to get off it, haha

Being an adulterer isn't against the law.
I have more of a problem with Carter's criminal past and telling players at the rookie symposium to find a fall guy for when they do commit a crime.

Report: ESPN settles sexual harassment claim involving Chris Berman
Posted by Mike Florio on November 10, 2015, 3:32 PM EST
AP
The man who once flirted creepily into a live microphone and open camera with a female colleague allegedly has done more of the same, and perhaps worse.
According to Jason McIntyre of TheBigLead.com, a former ESPN makeup artist settled a sexual harassment claim against the network, and the focal point of the case was Chris Berman.
Gloria Allred represented the makeup artist, Sue Baumann, whose claims included allegations against Berman arising from comments made in the makeup room and in text messages.
ESPN acknowledged the settlement, while downplaying the situation, in a statement issued to McIntyre: “Our thorough investigation revealed the harassment claims had no merit. We settled it solely to save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs,” ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said.
According to the report, Baumann and Cris Carter disclosed a consensual relationship to ESPN management in 2013. Twice that year, police were called to Baumann’s house after investigators showed up and claimed to work for an “employee at ESPN.” The investigators told Baumann’s husband to cease “calling and harassing an employee at ESPN.” According to McIntyre, the ESPN employee was Carter.
Baumann, who was employed by a company that provided makeup services on a contract basis to ESPN, filed suit after being fired in 2015.
ESPN’s explanation regarding the reason for the settlement invites speculation as to the amount of the financial package given to Baumann. Corporate defendants that settle civil cases always insist on a broad, onerous confidentiality provision, which usually allows either side to state only that “the matter has been resolved.”
Depending on the precise language of the confidentiality clause in the settlement paperwork, ESPN’s explanation that it settled the case “to save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs” possibly violates the deal. At a minimum, it suggests that a significant amount may have been paid, not only to “save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs” but to avoid an ugly, public fight that would have eventually resulted in plenty of embarrassing dirty laundry being aired out in open court, creating a huge distraction for ESPN and, at a time when the four-letter network is searching for ways to trim fat, given the suits ample reason to part ways with even more high-dollar talent.

Karma is a ***** isn't it? All that talking they did on Sunday about Hardy and The Cowboys now look at this. Somebody needs to get Wendy Nix back on the set and let her talk about how bad sexual harassment is at the work place and how ESPN needs to fire Berman.

ESPN's personel's litany of terrible behavior is quite long. Cynical as I am, I was still surprised at how bad it was.
