Howard Cosell Autographs
Howard Cosell was an iconic figure in the world of sports journalism who revolutionized the way Americans viewed professional football. Born as Howard William Cohen in 1918, he grew up in New York City and attended New York University, where he earned a law degree. He began his career as a sports journalist working for ABC News, where he soon started covering the National Football League (NFL) games.
Cosell's coverage of American football changed the way people watched the game, bringing a new level of intellectualism to sports broadcasting. He became known for his blunt style, frequently criticizing players, owners, and coaches. Cosell was among the first journalists to advocate for NFL players' rights, calling out owners for their mistreatment of players. He was widely respected for his honesty and insight, and his commentary came to define an era in American football.
Throughout his NFL career, Cosell covered some of the most significant games in football history. He was on the air for the famous "Heidi" game in 1968, when NBC cut away from the game between the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders just before its dramatic conclusion, leading to widespread outrage from fans. Cosell's coverage of the 1972 Miami Dolphins' perfect season and the 1975 "Monday Night Football" game in which O.J. Simpson rushed for a record-breaking 273 yards are still remembered as some of the greatest moments of American football history. Today, Cosell's legacy continues to inspire journalists and broadcasters, who follow in the footsteps of one of the most influential sports journalists of all time.
