Cosell was going on one Monday night about the lethargic play of the game.
“Rather lack-luster performances tonight. Reminds me of some of the performances of your two respective teams. Right, Frank & Don?”
There was a short pause, then Don Meredith said, “Well, Howard, at least Frank and I HAVE respective teams.”
Cosell did not say a WORD for about 20 minutes!
I loved it!
