... but the dishonesty.
I saw him years ago praising Marv Levy (Bills coach) for supposedly inventing the no-huddle offense, but Berman knew damn well it was used by the Bengals previously... and it was Levy himself who had whined to the NFL in an attempt to make it illegal! The Bengals beat them three times that year of 1988 -- preseason game, regular season game and in the AFC championship game.
Edit:
And maybe I'm mistaken, but I never heard him called "Boomer" either until after Boomer Esiason was the NFL MVP that year too.
Maybe some Bengals fan beat him up or something? There was a period after that '88 season when he seemed to go way out of his way to troll the Bungles, though. He only slowed down after most Bungles fans reached the point where they'd say, "Yeah, they suck. So what else is new?" Lol.
Edit2: Heck, Levy successfully killed no-huddle for the Bengals that year! I forgot he succeeded! No wonder the Bengals didn't do it in the Super Bowl! That makes Berman's later bragging about Levy "inventing" it even more ridiculous.

--------
Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy succeeded in depriving Wyche of his beloved no-huddle offense before the teams met in the AFC Championship Game Jan. 8.
Despite the Bengals' 21-10 victory, Wyche simply can't allow himself to forgive and forget.
"We will remember that forever, every time we play Buffalo," he told Cincinnati reporters this week. "It's our style of play, and if Marv isn't happy with that, we're real sorry about it."
