Howard Cosell – Telling It Like It Is

A typical Cosell call:
Frank Gifford: Here’s the kickoff. Bob Jackson caught it at the 2. At the 10.
Howard Cosell: Bob had a tough life. His parents found him in a box at the door step.
F G:  Cut’s back, now he’s at the 20.
H C: His father left him when he was 5. His mother became a prostitute.
F G: Now he’s at the 40 with running room.
H C: He turned to drugs when he was 15.
F G: He’s at the 50 with only the kicker to stop him.
H C: Got his life straighten out through sports.
F G: He’s at the 30 with nobody near him.
H C: HE COULD GO ALL THE WAY!
F G: Touchdown.
H C: An amazing life.
