As a diehard Raider fan in the 60's and 70's, hated Cosell. But, I have to admit, you had to listen to him--he was great at what he did.
Howard, Dandy Don and Frank. The ultimate unholy trio. My best MNF memory: A meaningless game in Buffalo, Bills are way behind in the 4th Q, most of the fans have left and it's snowy and cold. Camera zooms in on a lone Bills fan bundled up in the low corner by the end zone, he looks up and flips the bird. Dandy Don, right on cue: "Look, Howard, he says Buffalo is #1."

But only 5 completions over 40 yards all year). The defensive backs have no chance. Between the big outside receivers that run like the wind, lightning bug slot receivers, TEs that go 250 and run like WR’s used to and RB’s that are dual threats the backs and linebackers are helpless. Especially when they get flagged for breathing on the guy. Of course, you also can’t hit the QB. And the lineman hold constantly.
Time to lower the mound again.
