One of the more in-vogue, chic
things to do the last few years has
been to hate ABC’s Howard Cosell
with a burning passion. What makes
this pastime so attractive is it’s a
rather easy thing to do.
That’s because anybody with
minimal intelligence becomes utter
ly frustrated and exasperated after
one three-hour encounter with
Cosell’s stilted commentary.
What’s even better is that the hate
relationship is self-perpetuating with
Comment
devoted fans getting a new chance
each week to rediscover why they
hate Cosell.
The things fans do to vent their
anger toward Cosell are as bizarre as
the commentator’s statements. First
there are those who regularly throw
beer bottles and mugs at television
sets in several Houston bars.
It seems as though bar owners
have been buying up old black and
white sets at about $10 apiece and
then letting the patrons exercise
their throwing arms. This newest bit
of Americana has been going on for
two seasons now.
Then there’s the ad in a summer
edition of Rolling Stone magazine
which quietly advertised limited edi
tion Howard Cosell dartboards for
today’s active male. No wonder
sportscasters at ABC affiliates
throughout the country have taken
to poking fun at “Horrible Howard. ’’
The problem with this is that, like
any fad, people sooner or later are
going to get tired of it. Recognizing
the desperate need that exists for a
new object of hate, I am now pre
pared to submit my choice for 1980’s
Goon of the Year.
Yes folks, there are many deserv
ing candidates these days, but it
didn’t take much thought to pick
Jimmy “the Greek Snyder out of the
pack.
The Greek is simply awful, often
bordering on the incompetent. His
picks appeal to emotion rather than
reason and he makes no bones about
showing his regional prejudices a la
the Houston Oilers. What’s worse,
his sniping chatter is boring and the
jokes just aren’t funny.
To be fair, it’s hard to show any
strength of character when working
with the likes of Brent Musberger,
Irv Cross and Phyllis George. That
kind of lineup makes you wonder
what network bosses think about
when they select sports broadcast
teams.
Apparently, they consider all the
wrong reasons. Musberger was
probably picked because he was a
sports director for a station in Chica
go which is a hot media town.
V IK
Phyllis George has no obiij
credentials beyond being a
Miss America, and one lias tor;,
der if Cross knows anything
about football. His bumblingti
fumbling while giving game lif.
lights is particularly annoying.
Whatever the case, the Gi«i
during the last three weekb
shown why he belongs to thera
clowns which make NFLTodajI
television equivalent of Ringli;
Brothers, Barnurn and Bailey.
One incident involved the fe
Snyder had with Musbergerimlm
over how much air time each of it
got on the show.
In the battle over personal
time, the two of them suppoa
punched each other out. Then,
the dust barely settling, they
up several days before the nextli
cast. All this did was
suspicions of viewers that the whi
affair was a publicity stunt to sfe
up “NFL Today’s” ratings.
That was bad enough,
Greek outdid himselfyesterdayiil
a comment that can only be die
irresponsible.
It came during the opening\Fl
Today segment. Musberger
the show' talking about several®
coaches who recently retumediot
collegiate coaching ranks. Hesi)
gested another coach would
that lead and tied it into Jackfi'
dees problems with the
Washington Redskins.
Noting that Pardee mi;
soon, Musberger wondered is
where the former Aggie great i#
be headed and asked Snyder hi
wild guess.
“Well, gee Brent, you cat
oft guard, said the Greek. “1
to go out on a limb and take a
guess, I’d have to say Texas MSI
It’s no secret Tom Wilson’
trouble and with the reputation!
has with Aggies, Pardee v
natural.”
After guffawing approprial
Musberger jokingly replied
Snyder had just caused the p
lines out of College Station tolip
up in protest. Musberger
know how right he was.
It’s irritating to see that 1
behavior from someone like Said
whose very words can mol
opinion with the national
he enjoys. Neither did he rs
who might have suggested Paid
was headed for Aggieland or
made him think such a mover
imminent.
Instead, the Greek went for ses
tionalism, thus lending credenit
what had only been far-fetdi
rumors. Hopefully, the perfonB
Wilson’s squad gave this
will help put the issue to rest!
with two weeks still to go in
son, only time will tell whetbef!
Greek's meddling could makeal
ference.
