think of himself as "above sports." He really wanted to be a news journalist on
world affairs.He was given a variety show in the 70's which was so bad it
was funny. I never heard a good word about the guy fromanyone that ever
worked with him. Even NYC disk jockey Cousin Brucie (Morrow) who really has very
little bad things to say about anyone and is a rather harmless guy, hated his
guts. Listen to his commentary during the Holmes-Cooney fight and the way he
constantly shifts opinion on whom he thinks will win is awesome example of
covering all bases in order to always be right. He claims to have invented the
term "lateral movement" and equates it with the discovery of penicillon.|

me about Cosell is he always said, "I tell it like it is," rather than he told
it as he saw it. Everyone's perception is different according to one's own life
experiences so there is no absolute as it is. It is like, who died and left
Cosell as God? What an arrogant persumption to think of himself as the prevayer
of truth.I write for some other websites and there are times when I
interact with people of the boxing world. Sometimes a fighter may not like a
comment I have made or a question I have asked but I try to convey to them it is
just my opinion or the opinion of readers who would like to know something. I
stand by my statement of never taking a cheap shot as any question is a search
for knowledge and it is not personal. Am I the prevayer of some sort of
absoulute truth? Hell no! I don't want the job! What I say is just my "two
cents worth." |

like it is" rubbish wasn't even "tough journalism," presenting hard to accept
truths to viewers. If what he said ever was true, it was coincidental. He was
something like the equally shlocky Bryant Gumbel, conjuring sensationalism and
shrill hype to foist off on all of us ignorant peons as something we were too
stupid to catch onto ourselves, thereby creating the illusion of groundbreaking
truth. It was all for them.Athletes, particularly football players, used
to tell Howard stuff that wasn't true, then laugh when he presented it as his
own insights.|

dictionary ? Not only have you left me scratching my head, Koo Koo Clock has
gone missing, and poor old Massimo has got no chance to translate your meaning.
One of your posts said, "shrill hype to foist off on all of us ignorant peons."
My dictionary says that a 'peon' is an 'office-messenger' or a 'bull fighter's
assistant'. Look, I'm impressed that you know the word, but I don't understand
your meaning. Likewise, you once wrote, "Lyle would have discombobulated Tyson."
In my dictionary 'discombobulate' means 'disturb' or 'disconcert.' Why didn't
you just say that "Lyle would have worried Tyson" instead of causing us to rush
off to the dictionary. Another time you said, "pure athletic quotient." Koo Koo
Clock. Where have you gone ? Please come back and give me some of your humour
before I go crazy reading bloody dictionaries. |
