I have no interest in football.
Especially when commented on by a clueless, egotistic drunk.
The VIEW has good ‘ratings.’
Rosie O’Donnell has good ratings.
Obama had terrific ratings around the world.
Trash often gets good “ratings.”
Rest In Peace, Frank Gifford, and our prayers are with your loved ones. Thank you for your use of your God-given talent.
He even Cheated on Kathy Lee
Gifford but hey who could fault him for that
Prayers up
RIP. And the man knew how to treat a flight attendant!
And now all three are dead.
I had no idea that he was 84, I find that impressive. RIP Frank Gifford.
Was it Alex Karass that took Dandy Don’s place?
No, but your report-date to re-education camp will be sent to you later.
I’m utterly baffled that Cosell wasn’t fired until 1985. I guess ABC thought that in spite of Cosell being a complete ass who was terrible at his job and alienated any and all colleagues, he generated “buzz” and the conflict that he created pulled in viewers. Maybe it did, but I think ABC’s employment of him from 1970-1985 was a travesty. ABC made Cosell rich and a household name when he never should’ve advanced in broadcasting beyond reading radio shaving ads.
Sorry to hear, time marches on and it goes fast. My Uncle played with Frank during the late 50’s early 60’s Giants glory years. I thought he was a plretty darn decent Football announcer as well.
Cosell was so STUPID that he wrote a book lambasting his bosses at ABC.
ABC immediately fired him.
After that he was reduced writing for local NY city newspapers.
Poor Howard.
I would tune in just to hear Cosell. I think he was one of the greaste sports broadcasters of all time.
RIP.
“he was one of the greaste sports broadcasters of all time.”
If you say so,.
And Alex Karras (University of Mars)
All gone now.
Alex Karras “I think I kick a home run!”
RIP
RIP Frank...football fans misses the 60s...and the players from there...
