Colin Cosell Brings Sports And Entertainment To New Project

 

Howard Cosell, could arguably be the most famous sportscaster of all time.  He was groundbreaking as he would say what was on his mind, inviting criticism, but bringing a certain kind of integrity to the field. 

Grandson Colin Cosell has announced that he is undertaking a new project to carry on that legacy.  Currently, the PA announcer for the New York Mets, Cosell will begin a new weekly radio show starting two weeks from this Monday (March 29th, 2021) on an internet channel called 365Sportscast..  Each show will then be available as a podcast on all major podcast platforms.  

The name of the show is called The Sport Of Entertainment and is said to look beyond the reporting of standings and ball games scores and more into the entertainment aspect of sports and probably pop culture. 

As I remember from my childhood, waking up on my clock radio to the elder Cosell's Speaking Of Sports daily morning radio show.  Like his grandfather, Cosell is opinionated, but unlike Howard, he appears to be excited about sports, projecting the fun of the culture. 

As I have mentioned in previous posts, Colin has a strong social media presence.  He is always good about connecting with fans who loved his famous grandfather.
