Schrager and fellow co-host Kyle Brandt had great on-air chemistry that provided entertainment for the viewers, but now they are going on their separate paths.

Schrags is headed to ESPN, where he is expected to make appearances on the network's morning showsGet Up and First Take, along with spots on NFL Live, while Brandt will remain at the NFL Network.

After Schrager said his farewell to the audience, Brandt opened up with a heartfelt goodbye of his own while speaking on what the friendship with Schrager meant to him.

"I'm a miserable bastard. I don't like making friends. At home, I have my wife and my kids. Around the town, I have a few friends," Brandt said.
