He always referred to the Chambers brothers for Chris Chambers,

I wanted him to say, "Chis Chambers, kid brother to Eyeball Chambers"--A reference to Stand By Me

Living in Canada I haven't had nearly as much access to Berman over the decades that my American friends have had so I had no idea that his list of nicknames would be anywhere near that long.

Could be wrong but I think he was going for Budweiser.

Ohh. I think you are right. That was a real reach. I bet it would even make John Sterling cringe.

Google "Budd Dwyer". Definitely not a beer reference.

My favorite Berman line was for Scot Zolak. 'He's not dumb but he doesn't understand why walks like a woman but talks like a man. He's Zolak. Z-O-L-A-K Zolak'.
