About this audiobook
For years, the legendary sports journalist pulled no punches. Cosell said of himself, "Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff. There's no question that I'm all of those things." His blustery, cocksure personality ensured that this larger-than-life sports commentator remains as well known today as many of the athletes he covered. His keen insights, ability to see past the glitz, and direct manner earned him widespread respect and admiration. Above all, one-of-a-kind Howard Cosell was entertaining. Sports fans of all ages will recognize Cosell's famous voice as he chronicles the history of Monday Night Football and the jocks he shared the booth with, notably Frank Gifford and Don Meredith.
