Cosell on Sports

Look here, Fran Tarkenton’s scrambling artistry as a Viking was pure, improvisational majesty. Yet, his television commentary was a monumentally inept travesty—a transparent, backstabbing maneuver to usurp my singular, rightful throne on MNF. #Skol #NFL @NFL_MNF @MNFenESPN @NFL

Let us cut through this World Cup hyperbole. Soccer, with its aesthetic minimalism, will never eclipse the absolute brilliance of the NFL. The American public demands towering gridiron theater, not a tedious, scoreless exercise in stalemate.#WorldCup #Soccer #MLS #WorldCup26

Look here, the #NFL must forge a monumental developmental alliance with the #CFL & #UFL. Naturally, an anachronistic demographic of geriatric male traditionalists will weep in bitter disagreement. To those fragile, regressive Canadian obstructionists, I say- GET WITH THE TIMES!

I hold an unadulterated respect for @UptonBell. Alongside his legendary father Bert, he shaped early #NFL history. His magnanimous willingness to educate nascent podcasters on that gridiron lineage is a magnificent, vital public service. @SportsHistoryHQ @GridironAMRadio

Three weeks in, the unvarnished reality for BC and Ottawa is an absolute travesty. This multi-dimensional ineptitude is entirely reminiscent of Allie Sherman’s pathetic 1960s New York Giants. A monumental exercise in structural decay. #CFL @BCLions @REDBLACKS @CFL #Canada

I want you to know that the hosts of Gridiron America Today on Gridiron America Radio have my unadulterated endorsement. I savor their analysis on the Hi-Fi, whilst sipping bourbon & hurling darts at photos of the vastly overrated Gifford and Dandy Don. #CFL #NFL #UFL #Bourbon

Look here, Mike Repole offering Brendan Sorsby a #UFL spot is a farce! That outfit is now pure bush league! Sorsby is this generation’s Art Schlichter, who will fix games with the unadulterated, cynical malice like Paul Crewe did in 1974.#NFL #CFL #BrendanSorsby @RepoleStable

@griney55 @GridironMarvel @uptonbell @SportsHistoryHQ @GridironAMRadio @ProFootballTalk @ProFootballHOF @FootballHistory @NFL @AroundTheNFL @nflnetwork @VintageFB @NFLonCBS @ESPNNFL A fraud and MNF wanna be, who was always jealous of my fame and success.

@BudsOilers @GridironAMRadio The azure crescendo of Bum Phillips’ Luv Ya Blue Oilers was pure, transcendent theater. BUT! My singular genius was the absolute first to recognize Warren Moon’s majestic brilliance while he was still dominating the CFL. @GoElks #CFL

Happy Moonday! 🌛🚀1⃣🏈 #LuvYaBlue

@ProFootballTalk And so it BEGINS! The #NFL will soon take over the #UFL. Roone! Let’s go live!

The new CBA between the NFL and the NFL Referees Association could result in underperforming officials being assigned to work in the UFL. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@ravira @uptonbell It’s a travesty! An abomination!

@HowardCosellMNF @uptonbell It's crazy. A college QB who admitted to both a gambling addiction and gambling on his own team will be drafted by an NFL team and allowed to play.

#FanDuel & #DraftKings execute a monumental corporate prostitution of athletic integrity. A pernicious, unadulterated moral rot. Pete Rozelle banished Alex Karras & Paul Hornung for a mere fraction of this pervasive wagering poison. Utterly tragic. #NFL #MLB #CFL @uptonbell #NBA

On #FathersDay, the unvarnished reality is that American fathers owe me a profound debt of gratitude. My singular genius on Monday Night Football elevated a niche NFL into a monumental cultural phenomenon, shaping your contemporary rituals. #Father #NFL #ABC #MLB @Globies
