My favorite journalist was Howard Cosell. He was the most controversial broadcaster of all time. You either loved him or hated him. I loved him. The man was extremely knowledgeable on all subjects. From law to economics and of course sports. The interviews with Muhammad Ali were legendary. Monday Night Football has never been the same without Cosell. He told it like it is, a lost art in modern day journalism. I remember the last time Cosell announced a fight. It was heavyweight champion Larry Holmes against Tex Cobb. Holmes beat Cobbs to a bloody pulp for 15 rounds. Cosell said "I am tired of the hypocrisy and sleaziness of the boxing scene," and he never announced another fight again. Howard Cosell you were an original, an artist and will never be forgotten.
