Remember that Woody Allen movie "Sleeper"? After he's revived and discovered he's from the past, he's interviewed and asked about a picture of Richard Nixon (history was mostly wiped out). His answer was, "oh, if you committed a really henious crime you had to sit and watch his speeches" (paraphrasing).

I think you mean Howard Cosell. Allen is shown a clip of Cosell, and told by his debriefer, "the best we can figure is that, for those convicted of particularly heinous crimes, listening to this man was devised as a form of punishment." Allen deadpans: "Yeah, that's exactly it."

Ah. But wasn't there a Nixon joke in there too?

You brought me back to the 1970's when I used to turn off the sound while watching football.

I hope he is kept silent, in the "here-after", as he was the most annoying announcer I have ever heard.
