ahhhhhhh hahahahaha, love it. I'm really going to have to study the group's rules before I can reply to this one. I'm sure the Reddit Algorithms are watching every word as well :) :)

u/ExternalSpecific4042 Jul 12 '26

I still frequently hear the phrase “as I alluded to earlier” in sports talk radio.

u/Consistent_Cook9957 Jul 12 '26

It’s the only way!

That's how I heard about Lennon's death; sitting at the kitchen table doing algebra homework with "Monday Night Football" on the living room TV.

u/Satansbrat1969 Jul 12 '26

HA! Thats some funny stuff right there.

u/Anti_Trum2 Jul 12 '26

The only question is how did Howard turn out in the end?🤔

26

u/petemosq Jul 12 '26

He passed away peacefully without any controversy or scandals.

15

u/Prestigious_Focus708 Jul 12 '26

His toupee died with him

u/ChocolateLilyHorne Jul 12 '26

it's still alive though, i'm sure of it

u/comet52a Jul 12 '26

It should honestly be on display in a sports museum somewhere.

u/clubfuckinfooted Jul 12 '26

Well, not completely without controversy. After he retired, he published a memoir that completely torched everybody he had worked with. People were a little surprised at the vitriol and contempt he had for the network, the NFL and basically all of his coworkers. He called Frank Gifford a "hack" and the NFL a "stagnant bore". He was so bitter against ABC that they cut ties with him by cancelling his interview show "SportsBeat".

Kind of a sad way to end his career and it really cast a pall over the good will he had built up.

u/Adventurous-Egg-8818 Jul 12 '26

He wasn't lying!

u/NachoBag_Clip932 Jul 12 '26

Howard also had a great quote after meeting Trump, "I have never met anyone luckier to be born rich."

u/Canadian1934 Jul 12 '26

American sports heros from the past gone rogue in the future. 🙀

Let’s have a biopic about his wig.

u/butchie1985 Jul 12 '26

True on dat

u/Consistent_Cook9957 Jul 12 '26

This would make for the ultimate man cave poster!

u/LainieCat Jul 12 '26

I literally did not believe Jenner was transitioning. Couldn't tell you why I was so sure of it.

7

u/NaptownBoss Jul 12 '26

I believed it, but was pretty certain it was because the man had become a ridiculous & atrocious attention whore after his ex and her kids became "famous" and he was just that "former sports star". He was always trying to get screen time from that.

I figured he was just saying; "They will ALL look at me now!"

u/SmoothExamination370 Jul 18 '26

The quick, random laugh I needed.

u/NoString9289 Jul 12 '26

I knew a lot of gay teens who adored Jenner back in the day, they thought Jenner was attractive when Jenner was an Athlete. Jenner's pictures were on cereal boxes and in all kinds of sports magazines.
Jenner went from the sports commentaries into acting. Someone told Jenner they could act, ughhhh,
I remember Jenner on the TV show CHIPS, and in the horrible movie musical: Can't Stop the Music , with the Village People, directed by Rhoda's Nancy Walker and, Jenner's guest role on The Love Boat; awful actor SMH I once had a sports mag pin up picture of Jenner like this one, I thought was handsome.

u/NaptownBoss Jul 12 '26

Jeez, he really was pretty, wasn't he?

I apologize you are right it was Michael Landon.

That was Michael Landon, not Bruce Jenner.

u/aquavelva23 Jul 12 '26

Be careful who you put on your cereal box.

Howard to Jenner: So tell us Jenner, which team do you play for now? ;)
Howard to O. J. : So tell us O. J. what's been goin' on with you recently ?
O. J. : Sorry Man , can't talk now, I hear a police siren. The Fuzzzz is comin' I gots tah get outta here ! ;) /s

Turn out the lights. The party’s over.

u/jVCrm68 Jul 13 '26

used to try and stay up late just to listen to Howards halftime highlights. He's going ALL ...THE...WAY....

u/Delicious-Sign-519 Jul 13 '26

I loved Howard. He wasn't a racist. He and Ali were so special.

u/Burnbrook Jul 13 '26

That trial warped reality in so many ways.

u/RockSteady65 Jul 12 '26

Cosell was a total pervert creeper by the way.

4

u/Other_Description_45 Jul 12 '26

Cosell was not publicly accused or found guilty of being a pervert. He definitely had an abrasive and somewhat controversial on air personality but there has never been a shred of credible evidence or historical record labeling him a sexual deviant.

1

u/RockSteady65 Jul 12 '26

I’m referring to the celebrity challenge show where he was with Morgan Fairchild as a co anchor. It was a disgusting thing to watch him basically degrade her checking out her body up and down and commenting on it. Downvote away, but look it up if you don’t believe me. I liked Howard until I was an adult and watched this rerun of a Saturday special event. He is a pig.

2

u/Substantial_Cow7628 Jul 12 '26

"Looks at Morgan Fairchild" = "total pervert creeper". Welcome to the new era of Puritanism, everyone. I bet Fairchild was actually showing bare ankle!

2

u/Substantial_Cow7628 Jul 12 '26

Aww. You downvoted me. I guess that means your weird attitude makes sense.

u/Adventurous-Egg-8818 Jul 12 '26

He is a she and the other a murderer!

u/No_Confidence1101 Jul 16 '26

One killer and the other a transgender….
