With Howard sitting 4 feet away, "Stay tuned for next week's interview with Marilyn Chambers..." Tom was nimble.

Cosell was the best sports journalist ever. He was smart and painfully honest. He was one of a kind.

"One of a kind" was Howard. He's missed.

I can't begin to express just how much more genuinely interesting archival programming there is from the three networks, ranging from the 1960s to the 1980s, right here on KZread than can be found now in 2024 on all four networks and the cable news channels combined. Very sad and reflective of how America has dumbed itself down so much.

The only thing better than Tom’s skill as an interviewer was his hair. And he was a great interviewer. Notice how he didn’t jump in and interrupt Cosell, who needed absolutely no help in making a point. But he could also be accommodating to other guests who weren’t nearly as articulate. And both of these guys - Howard and Tom - were excellent on the radio.

Howard was a genius

In 1980, we had Cosell. In 2024, we have Stephen A Smith. Intellectual freefall.

Howard was once momentarily speechless. It was during WABC's radio wrap-up of Super Bowl III.He told play by play announcer,Merle Harmon:"I don't know what to say,Merle." Then he recovered and was marvelous for the remainder of the epilogue.

When you look at the football commentators today nobody comes close to Howard. Nobody !

The meaning of “social justice” has changed. Back in the day, it meant something honorable. Fighting for civil rights, calling out injustice where you saw it. Today, it’s used ironically - as if people no longer comprehend that fighting for justice is a truly noble human instinct. Now, it’s ridiculed. Which is a real shame.

Boy, Cosell had a concept almost 50 years ago about what we now struggle with which is the almost end of free broadcast sports. You can't watch baseball without paying for a subscription service and the NFL is quickly moving into pay per view games on an increasing basis. NBA has escaped so far but will soon I'm sure be a part of it too. Howard had a great knowledge and a business understanding that was, and is still lacking in most sports announcers/analysts.
