This video clip gives you a look at a 1978 ESPN telecast with Chris Berman, Tom Jackson and Gayle Gardner…who were some of the original ESPN sportscasters. Â Both Berman and Jackson are still bringing the NFL on ESPN in 2016…..some 38 years later…which by any standard is a significant accomplishment….especially when you consider how many ESPN sportscasters have come and gone within the span of those nearly four decades. Â Gayle Gardner was the original female sportscaster….who paved the way for so many women to follow.Â
