jester43 Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 who else here got the bad news from Howard Cosell?
Helpmenow Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 I was sitting with my college buddy on ash burn and Breckenridge watching the game when the news came across. Boy do I miss John. Who knows what he would be doing now?

stevestojan Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 I literally **** my pants when this happened. Mind you, I was 10 months old, but still.
Chef Jim Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 who else here got the bad news from Howard Cosell? Yup, sitting in my friend's dormroom watching MNF.
Marv's Neighbor Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Howard's probably doing his intro's now!
Buftex Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Yup, sitting in my friend's dormroom watching MNF. Nice piece that ESPN did on the night Lennon died, a couple years ago. I remember I was watching the MNF game (it had implications for the Bills)...about a minute before Cosell made the announcement, my sister came barrelling out of her bedroom to tell me what had happened...of course, I didn't believe her...then when Howard confirmed it, my dad (a cop) said "probably a drug deal gone bad!" Interesting off-air conversation between Cosell and Gifford included. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6zcRPp8zVg Edited December 10, 2012 by Buftex
KD in CA Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 I literally **** my pants when this happened. Mind you, I was 10 months old, but still. Thanks for the laugh! Interesting off-air conversation between Cosell and Gifford included. Very interesting; Cosell wasn't sure at all he should report it but Giff was pretty positive. If anything I would have expected the opposite reactions given their personalities.

They can get the details down later...

The Poojer Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 http://bit.ly/UQmtgV Forget Lennon. Who won the game?
