By George, old pard... 
You are right. Us white quarterback really, really are treated differently!
You go, Donovan! Tell... 
It... Like... It... Is!!!
Now, be a good boy... 
and go get me another double Stoli on the rocks!
Now, if you doubt Dandy Don... 
just go Google 'Don Meredith' and see how he was treated differently!
BTW-- Way back in the "Luv Ya Blue!" Houston Oilers 1979 days, I happened to be asked by a friend if I'd like to work the Oiler-Steelers Monday Night Game that year. JR was a spot wrangler/gofer/whatever for the ABC broadcast team. I'd get to work the game doing something and get $35 pay for the night.
The pay wasn't important, but the anticipated fun of the whole thing was! Finally the night came and I found myself following JR around until one of his bosses barked a command in JR's ear. I was to be given a very important position: I was to be Cosell's Stoli man.
Just before the start of the game, Cosell gave me a $20 bill and said, "Double Stoli rocks." I went to the nearby bar set up behind the press box and got a double Stoli on the rocks in a styrofoam cup. I went back to the booth and handed it to Howard and when I held out the change, $16, he waved it off.
A few minutes before the end of the 1st quarter, Cosell pulled out another $20 and waved me over. He indicated with the near empty cup he wanted another. Off I went and as before, he took the new Stoli and again tipped me another $16. This happened again at the half and just before the 3rd quarter. When the game was finished, the Oilers won as I recall, 20-17 in a sea of Columbia Blue pom-poms singing "Houston Oilers Number One!" and Cosell got off his stool, not showing one sign of 8 shots of Stoli in about 3 hours, and walked over to his briefcase. He opened it, took out a tape recorder and a stop watch. Right then and there, without a stop, did a three minute commentary for his daily radio sports spot. It was classic Cosell and without a slip up at all.
He looked over at me, I was in amazement at his performance. He pulled out another $20 billl and pressed it into my hand. "Thank you, Mr. Lee. It was a pleasure working with you!" he said in that booming half-serious half-comical tone of his. He patted me on the back and walked out of the booth.
As far as I knew, he's never asked nor even knew my name!
For the night, Howard Cosell had tipped me $84 and ABC paid me $35. But my greatest reward was watching Howard Cosell in his natural environment!
Now, I'd always joined in on the joking about Howward Coosell and his arrogant blow-hard manner, but after that night, I was impressed in his professional work manner and skills at improvisational speaking. He could also hold his liquor with the best of them! It was never the same watching him afterward. The joking from then on was mainly offset by admiration.
And Howard Cosell held his own sitting right there between the classic pro Frank Gifford and the classic comic wit Dandy Don Meredith. The interaction between the three was something to see, but that is for another time, another thread...
