* His mid-play prediction of a touchdown run as "He could...go...all...the...way!" is perhaps his most famous phrase, and one of the first he adopted.<ref name="T&G">{{cite news|last1=Doyle|first1=Bill|title=ESPN's Chris Berman is serious about having fun|url=http://www.telegram.com/article/20111014/COLUMN08/110149837|access-date=October 5, 2016|work=Telegram & Gazette|date=October 14, 2011}}</ref> It was featured on the ''[[Jock Rock, Volume 2]]'' compilation album.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Lomartire|first1=Paul|title=ESPN hits the music charts|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=348&dat=19961213&id=budMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3112,5909932&hl=en|access-date=October 5, 2016|work=Rome News-Tribune|agency=Cox News Service|date=December 13, 1996|page=45}}</ref>
* His home run calls of "Back, back, back, back...Gone!", which he implements most commonly during the MLB [[Home Run Derby]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Cunningham|first1=Dave|title=Announcers Hit Home Runs With Their Calls Of Long Ball|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1998/09/13/announcers-hit-home-runs-with-their-calls-of-long-ball/|access-date=October 5, 2016|work=Orlando Sentinel|date=September 13, 1998}}</ref>
* A "Whoop!" is uttered during highlights when a player makes a quick move or causes someone to miss or make a mistake.<ref name="T&G"/>
* "Tick, tick, tick, tick tick tick tick..." during a post-game recap, for a play or moment in which the clock is a factor.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Akers|first1=David|author-link1=David Akers|title=Winning in Spite Of: Nine Biblical Principles for Turning Hard Times into Personal Growth, Increased Impact, and Abundant Life|date=2016|publisher=Redemption Press|isbn=978-1683141068|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GB7UDAAAQBAJ&q=chris+berman+tick+tick+tick&pg=PT100|access-date=October 5, 2016}}</ref>
* When a large player such as a [[Lineman (gridiron football)|lineman]] runs with the football, Berman describes him as "rumblin', bumblin', stumblin'".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Holmgren|first1=Ryan|title=Bishop Ryan has hands full with Kindred's Bachmeier|url=http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/577974/Bishop-Ryan-has-hands-full-with-Kindred-s-Bachmeier.html?nav=5016|access-date=October 5, 2016|work=Minot Daily News|date=September 6, 2013}}</ref>
* Berman is known for integrating [[pun]]s into player nicknames. For example, he dubbed former Minnesota Twins pitcher [[Bert Blyleven]] "Bert ''Be Home'' Blyleven".<ref name="T&G"/> He referred to San Diego Chargers running back [[Eric Bieniemy]] as "Eric ''Sleeping With'' Bieniemy". Other examples include "Young Again" for [[Oddibe McDowell]], “ABCDEFG” for [[Dallas Cowboys]] wide receiver [[CeeDee Lamb]]<ref>{{Citation |title=Chris Berman gives CeeDee Lamb a new nickname | date=December 28, 2020 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OzQSwgrCs8 |access-date=2023-12-18 |language=en}}</ref> and an imitation of a [[sneeze]] for [[Indianapolis Colts]] quarterback [[Gardner Minshew]], where Berman goes, “min-min-min, MIN-SHEW!”<ref>{{Citation |title=Chris Berman Fastest 3 Minutes {{!}} ESPN MNF 2023-24 Week 12 {{!}} BEARS vs VIKINGS | date=November 27, 2023 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDnLCFRr_aA |access-date=2023-12-18 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Chris Berman Fastest 3 Minutes {{!}} ESPN MNF 2022 Week 16 {{!}} CHARGERS vs COLTS | date=December 26, 2022 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9AILlct9OQ |access-date=2023-12-18 |language=en}}</ref>
* When speaking about the [[Las Vegas Raiders]], he will often pronounce them as "the RRRAY-DAHS" in an homage to late owner Al Davis' accent.
* When a ball carrier breaks a tackle, he will mimic a collision sound after every broken tackle.
* The [[Detroit Lions]] have never won an [[NFC Championship Game]] and, as such, have never made it to the [[Super Bowl]], earning them a long history of denigration. Thus, when the Lions do something good, Berman will sometimes utter the word, "LIONS???" in a surprised tone.<ref>{{Citation |title=Chris Berman - The Lions? | date=October 2, 2011 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9tGHpDsNN0 |access-date=2023-10-30 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Chris Berman most explosive WHOOP ever! | date=November 4, 2019 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qJSrjxnu4U |access-date=2023-10-30 |language=en}}</ref>

Berman adopts the persona of his [[alter ego]], "The [[Swami]]," to make predictions on ''Sunday NFL Countdown.''  For seven consecutive years "The Swami" predicted a Super Bowl between the [[San Francisco 49ers]] and the [[Buffalo Bills]], one or the other – but never both – making it during that span.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.footballperspective.com/san-francisco-sets-record-in-chris-bermans-mythical-super-bowl/ |title=San Francisco sets record in Chris Berman's mythical Super Bowl |publisher=footballperspective.com |author=Chase Stuart |date=7 October 2012 }}</ref>
