I guess CBC is carrying Sunday games this year, hopefully they use him as their pbp guy as well.
I'm not sure exactly what the origin of the 'onions' is, but the salami and cheese came from a time that a viewer wrote to Chuck and asked him if he could say when he thinks that a game is over, so that the viewer can go make a sandwich. I'm so-so on it. I don't really like homer broadcasts, but if an announcer is going to be a homer, I'd rather that they just go all-out with it, as Chuck does.

edit: and yes, I believe CBC will use the same broadcasting crew. We'll find out in a few hours, I guess.
