May he rest in peace.

I thought he just sold Lipton Tea?

Sorry to hear

Meridith was a fine QB and one of the NFLs all-time characters

At least he got to dance on Cosells grave

Was it him and O.J. that always argued on air or was it O.J. and Cosell?

Cossell thought ex-players were too dim witted to give color commentary as brainy as he thought it should be.

Howard Cosell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cosell was openly contemptuous of ex-athletes appointed to prominent sportscasting roles solely on account of their playing fame. He regularly clashed on-air with Meredith, whose laid-back style was in sharp contrast to Cosell's

Cosell was an ass who knew nothing about the NFL. His preparation for games was non-existant and he tried to get by on his Howard Cosell image
