In a statement sent on Tuesday afternoon to PFT (and others, including MDS of AOL), ESPN V.P. of Public Relations Josh Krulewitz addressed the stream of videos that keep popping up on YouTube, and that paint Bristol institution Chris Berman in an unflattering light.
"The off air videos are now nearly a decade old and do not reflect his typical workplace demeanor, his relationships with co-workers, nor the contributions he has made to ESPN over many years," Krulewitz said. "Chris has a tremendous connection with sports fans and his body of work should not be judged by a few minutes of unguarded language uttered years ago. We aren't excusing the language used and will be emphasizing to our workforce the importance of using appropriate language in the workplace."

PFT REPORTS

ESPN SLAMS DOOR ON BERMAN YOUTUBE CLIPS
Though in many respects the damage already has been done, ESPN apparently has asserted its copyright protections as to the various Chris Berman videos posted on YouTube by the user who goes by the name "ampex2000."
Berman videos posted by other users also are now blocked, with the same message.
It's unclear why ESPN waited so long to assert its rights. Pretty much anyone who has wanted to see the videos has seen them by now. Many, many times.
