Going Old school! And agreed
He was both the GOAT good and bad. Now THAT'S a record that can't be broken!!!!!!!
His hairpiece was superb. Except for the fact that it looked like a hairpiece. LOL
The best ones did back then.
I'm not certain, but Cosell's hairpiece might be made out of polyester.
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
It's just sad that a squirrel had to sacrifice its life for Albert's hairpiece.
I liked Vin Scully the best. Of course Howard was more of a color guy, a prognosticating pontificator as it were ;-)
Joe Buck announced during the Vikings Patriots game that Brady was the GOAT. I can't believe any (good) announcer would say that.
His real first name CAN'T be Joseph.
Cosell was entertaining but often a gasbag in the booth, especially when doing baseball or MNF. Boxing was his strong suit.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
And Cosell, long before he retired, quit announcing boxing for various reasons.
Cosell actually wound up to be a frustrated old man, and in his later years said a number of stupid negative things about his colleagues that really didn't need to be said. It wasn't enlightening, it was just silly and made Cosell look foolish.
My opinion for at least some of his frustration is that Cosell had stated that what he really wanted to do is stop announcing sports altogether, and become a political pundit for a network. To the best of my knowledge, none of the networks ever gave him the chance.
I miss Cosell and Keith Jackson. Especially when he did OSU games.

Terry Glenn 82 yard TD catch vs NOTRE DAME
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
Cosell was great. I also enjoyed john Madden in the booth. So entertaining.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I also liked Bill Fleming !!!
For the most part, when it comes to Howard Cosell, I would say that “goat” would have it’s old meaning - the guy who screwed up and lost and the game. The guy was too much of a New York City homer for me, in addition to other faults.
I should add that I did enjoy his boxing commentary, however, and the best selling book he authored to at least placed his name on the front cover.
Perhaps not. But he was fast enough to come in second.
