Message: [QUOTE="itsasport, post: 4629485, member: 306"] Howard Cosell, who has been named as the best (not the most likeable) sports announcer of all-time. His play-by-play of boxing on radio was amazingly exciting and disruptive. You could visualize the fight as if you were watching it. One funny story- Cosell had been in a fraternity in college (Pi Lambda Phi), which was also my fraternity, (different chapter) After graduating, one of my frat brothers got a job at ABC in New York, One day at ABC headquarters, he got on to an elevator and found himself alone with Cosell. My brother got up the courage to say, "Mr. Cosell, you and I are fraternity brothers." Howard, who was a tall guy, looked down at my brother and said, "Big ." Immediately after that, the door opened and Cosell got off. [/QUOTE]
