Chris Berman has spent his 40+ years as one of the most legendary personalities in sports media but when he arrived in Canton for the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony, fans were discussing two things about the legendary personality.
It was his awkward shaped build and weird walk that went viral.

Berman, affectionately known as “Boomer,” appeared to have a noticeably unusual lower body built and awkward walk during the ceremony, and footage quickly began drawing attention from fans on social media. The moment has led to plenty of discussion, particularly because Berman is such a familiar face to generations of NFL fans.
Earlier this year, Berman revealed that he would be retiring from broadcasting in 2029, 50 years after making his ESPN debut.
