Grandson Decries Howard Cosell Hall Of Fame Omission
When Colin Cosell posts on his blog, it's usually a light hearted look at issues in the world of sports. In his latest one, however, he is dead serious as he rails against the omission of his grandfather, the legendary Howard Cosell from the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. Also on the fact that Mr Cosell has not received the Pete Rozelle award for excellence in sports broadcasting. Remember that along with Don Meredith and Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell was part of the original Monday Night Football broadcasting team that changed American Culture. Much like Jackie Robinson, he was a pioneer who paved the way for the more articulate sportscasters and for sports talk radio personalities who "tell it like it is".
