So I've got all of these families that are connected to me all in one spot. At one time. Kind of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" stated Berman.

"All three families helping me celebrate the end of my career at FOX here in Houston and it wouldn’t have happened if not for Omar, his staff, Lindsay, the Texans, the McNair family and I can't tell you how honored I am and happy and thrilled that ya'll have done this for me.
