ESPN’s Stan Verrett shared a heartfelt farewell to longtime SportsCenter co-anchor Neil Everett on Twitter on Thursday following the news of Everett’s departure from the network after 23 years.
Verrett, who also arrived at ESPN in 2000, worked alongside Everett on the L.A.-based, late edition of the network’s flagship program since ’09. Over their 14-year run, the two went on to become fixtures on TVs, phones and laptops amongst diehard and casual sports fans around the country.
With Everett’s pending departure on the horizon, Verrett took to social media to congratulate and say goodbye to his friend and broadcast partner of more than a decade.
