Who the hell is Chris Burandt?


On the heels of the Erin Andrews mini-controversy and the new company policy for its talent, ESPN has released the endorsement deals for their on-air talent.

Some notables:
  • Erin Andrews: Reebok
  • Paul Azinger: Adams Golf
  • Bruce Bowen: Nike
  • Tim Brown: Under Armour
  • Chris Burandt: Monster, Polaris, Slednecks, Klim, HMK, Starting Line Products, Holz Racing Products, Fox Racing, Snox, EGT, VCHK, 509, Boon Docker Performance, RSI, RPM, Sled Solutions, Better Boards, Timbersled, Sledez, Edge Products
  • Darren Cahill: Adidas, Wilson, Donnay
  • Cris Carter: Nike
  • Lee Corso: Nike
  • Trent Dilfer: Nike, Callaway
  • Mike Ditka: Under Armour
  • Kirk Herbstreit: Nike
  • Keyshawn Johnson: Under Armour
  • Kara Lawson: Nike
  • Sal Masekela: Nike, Oakley
  • John McEnroe: Nike, Dunlop
  • Jeremy McGrath: Sky Optics, DC Shoes, DC Riding Gear, Troy Lee Designs, Dunlop Tires, Coyne Powersports Group, Motorcycle Mechanics, Specialized Bicycles
  • Rocco Mediate: Chervo, Par West, Titleist, V1, Vharness Clubs, Adams Golf, Club Fourteen, TAGGART, Audemars Piguet, InBalance
  • Urban Meyer: Nike
  • Jalen Rose: AEG sponsored by Nike
  • Scott Van Pelt: Titleist
  • Robin Ventura: Easton
  • Rusty Wallace: Oakley, Toyota
  • Jay Williams: Under Armour

Even if each deal for Chris Burandt is $5,000 a year, on average, that's a nice haul for, as ESPN calls him, a "pro-sledder and backcountry tour operator."
