This book, "I Never Played the Game," is a detailed account of Howard never playing the political game in his vocation as a sports journalist. The book details his outrage of sports teams picking up and moving from one city to another.

He also discuss his history as a boxing announcer. This is my favorite part of the book. He describes the matches as no one else can. He paints a picture and makes one feel they are at ringside watching the fight. You may remember that Cosell decided that boxing had become to violate and gave up calling the matches. He spoke before the United States Congress on several occasions both about the violence of boxing and the plight of sports' teams picking up and moving to other cities.

He details his account doing Monday night football and the "monkey" comment. He also explains his friendship with baseball commissioner, Bowie Kuhn. There was only one Howard Cosell and there will never be another one. If you enjoy sports you will enjoy reading this book! I will post a youtube video on my blog about Cosell. Paul Pessolano. If you want to read a book that is full of EGO, this is the book. I must admit I like Howard Cosell.

And what he stood for but this book goes way beyond his beliefs. True he was very influential in these endeavors but I believe they would have done well without HowRd Cosell. An old but good read, especially since you can read the book with an open mind because most of the characters have already passed away. Tracy A. Growing up in the '70's in Colorado we all hated Howard Cosell.

Unfortunately, it was only after I had grown up, and Howard had passed, that I realized how privileged I was to have had the opportunity to see him doing what he did best. Make Offer.
