I am not Joe Biden so I will give a proper attribution: the king of college football broadcasting, Keith Jackson often called the center or the senior leader on an offensive line the ‘bell cow.’ As you may also know, he dubbed the offensive linemen ‘big uglies,’ a term embraced by both his media successors and the linemen themselves who paradoxically loved the nickname.
I miss Keith every Saturday.
Me too! Especially when I'm forced to endure ESPN announcers in order to watch a game.
(Thanks for the 'Bell-Cow' info!)
