If anyone was more stunned than many Buffalo Bills fans when Chris Berman was named by Bills owner Ralph Wilson to present him at the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, it was the ESPN anchor himself. Berman said stunned and humbled were the words that came to mind after Wilson made the telephone call in February three months before the Bills announced it to ask him to be the presenter at the Aug. 8 ceremonies in Canton, Ohio. He said, I have a little favor to ask of you, recalled Berman in a telephone interview.
Wilson couldn't find any former player or coach that knew and respected him, damn. I would have though Marv Levy, Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas...maybe one of Wilson kids, or another owner...definately doesn't seem like Berman's stage to me.
