December 14, 1984…Howard Cosell Retires From Monday Night Football
I think the best way to mark the occasion is with this video. The great Billy Crystal story on Howard that he told to David Letterman.

Billy Crystal’s Story About A Drunk, Weeping Howard Cosell
I remember picking up Howard Cosell’s autobiography on cassette tape at a used book store in the early 90’s. Great stuff even then.
Howard would greet us in the abc hallways martini glass in hand, then march into the Chiron room to meet the girls.
I remember doing Monday night football in 1972 at Tiger stadium and watching him unfold himself from the cab. He was a tall man.
