Timeline
Matthew J. Berry (born December 29, 1969) is an American writer, columnist, fantasy sports analyst, and television personality.
Berry started his career by writing for television and film and creating a few pilots and film scripts with his writing partner Eric Abrams.
Berry graduated from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in 1992 with a degree in electronic media.
After graduation, Berry moved to Los Angeles to work in show business.
After a few odd jobs Berry got hired as a production assistant for The George Carlin Show on Fox.
Berry worked on the show for one year and has fond memories of George Carlin who wrote a recommendation letter for the Warner Brothers Writer's Workshop.
Thanks in part to the recommendation, Berry was accepted to the workshop, officially getting him into the LA writing scene.
During his writing tenure, he worked on such movies as Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, and the final year of the TV show Married... with Children.
Berry wrote for Rotoworld from 1999 to 2003, when he was let go after the site wanted to lower his pay from $100 a week to $25 a week.
Berry then started two fantasy web sites in addition to his Hollywood writing.
He started RotoPass.com, a site which aggregates multiple fantasy sports sites that use paywalls, and TalentedMrRoto.com, a fantasy content site.
The popularity of these sites led to him dropping his full-time job and focusing on fantasy sports.
He also appeared on several media outlets as a fantasy expert.
Crocodile Dundee was nominated for a Razzie award in 2001 under the category of "Worst Remake or Sequel", but lost to Planet of the Apes.
Berry gained further (possibly unwanted) attention for Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles after Paul Hogan filed a lawsuit against Berry and the Writers Guild of America because Berry and Eric Abrams were credited as writers, while Hogan insisted that he was the only one who wrote it.
Berry and Abrams maintained their writing credits.
After writing for Rotoworld as a side-job, Berry launched his own fantasy sports websites "TalentedMr.Roto.com" in 2004 and "Rotopass.com".
Prior to joining ESPN exclusively, Matthew spent 2005 and 2006 writing the daily fantasy blog for Major League Baseball on MLB.com as well as writing a weekly fantasy column for NBA.com while also serving as editor of the 2005 and 2006 NBA.com Fantasy Basketball Magazine.
In addition, he spent those two years making multiple weekly appearances as the official Fantasy Sports Expert for the Fox Sports Radio Network.
Radio host Steve Mason, who was working for FOX at the time, was a fan of the TMR column and asked Berry to do a segment, which ended up lasting over an hour.
He eventually was asked to do more guest appearances and was soon hired as their fantasy analyst.
Mason then left to go to ESPN Radio, where he introduced Berry to staff in the ESPN base of Bristol, Connecticut.
He did a two-hour fantasy show there, which led him to spots on Cold Pizza.
That grew into doing segments on ESPNEWS, which led to his getting a column in ESPN The Magazine.
That allowed him to start The Fantasy Show.
Berry worked for ESPN from 2007 to 2022 as their "Senior Fantasy Sports Analyst".
Berry was born in Denver, Colorado, to Nancy and Leonard Berry.
He is Jewish, although nonpracticing.
The family moved several times, including to Richmond, Virginia, Atlanta, Georgia, and Charlottesville, Virginia.
From the age of 12 to adulthood he was raised in College Station, Texas.
His mother is the former mayor of the city and his father is a professor for Texas A&M University.
On the July 26, 2007 episode of "The B.S. Report with Bill Simmons" podcast, he told the abridged version of how he went from Hollywood screenwriter to fantasy expert.
He eventually grew tired of being in meetings with two movie stars he didn't think were funny telling him what comedy was.
Even though he was in Hollywood, writing scripts and screenplays for movies and TV shows, he was still miserable.
He asked a small fantasy site (RotoWorld.com) if he could do a column for them.
He has been playing fantasy sports ever since he was 14; "it's my passion," he said on the podcast.
The site did in fact hire him to do a column, because "Married... with Children is their favorite show."
Berry's relationship with ESPN grew to the point that it purchased TalentedMrRoto.com and hired Berry as director of fantasy sports in February 2007.
As the popularity and demand for fantasy sports rose, so did Matthew Berry's profile on the network.
Berry appeared on the Fantasy Insider on ESPNEWS and First Take once or twice a week, doing a "Fantasy Minute".
