The sad part his, he's taking home lovely parting gifts. This zero has made millions of bucks.

I have to give him credit, I never thought I would see a sports announcer more odious and pompous than Howard Cosell. (Recall, Cosell once had a non-sports talk show on the ABC network called Speaking of Everything, a spin off from his show, Speaking of Sports.) Of course, Cosell showed what a truly classless ingrate he was when he published his memoir, I Never Played the Game. With Olberman, we didn't have to wait.

Plus, Olbie took his odious pomposity to the realm of news as well...even though nearly no one ever watched him.

Now maybe he’ll have time to date Ann Coulter.

The best thing Howard Cosell ever did was Monday Night Football, where his pomposity made him the unwitting foil for Dandy Don Meredith's homespun wit and wisdom.
