GaryAUDIENCE
Uh, uh, uh, from the, the, the early '60s.
GaryAUDIENCE
I remember all the classic jocks, and I even remember Howard Cosell speaking of sports, which I think came on around 5:00 or 6:00 in the evening, uh, back in those days.
GaryAUDIENCE
But I have always been a fanatic of AM radio, how you can pick up stations in Canada, all over America late at night.
GaryAUDIENCE
Uh, for some reason, around 6:00 AM, they seem to kind of fade away.
Rod PedersenHOST
Well, that's end of your career type stuff.
Rod PedersenHOST
If you've read Harry Kerry's book or Bob Euchre's book or Bob Costas' book or Howard Cosell's book, I've read them all.
Rod PedersenHOST
Those stories are in there.
Rod PedersenHOST
But it's like, you better be prepared for this to be the end, because there's a lot of that what happens on the bus, what happens on the plane, stays on it.

So I'm wondering, and go with me here just a second, why don't we go outside of the scouting department for just a bit, even for a roundtable, for people like, okay, you guys.
speaker_4AUDIENCE
You guys would get together in a room with somebody at the Titans, right? And how about Cosell? How about Ramon and Will? Somebody who knows a lot.
speaker_4AUDIENCE
Just get in a roundtable.
speaker_4AUDIENCE
Let's just talk it out.
Dawn DavenportHOST
That is a different...
Dawn DavenportHOST
It's a different level.
Dawn DavenportHOST
Now, like, Cosell would be a hell of a scout, but he doesn't want to do that, right? So, like, they...
Dawn DavenportHOST
The scouting departments are a different level.
Ron SlayHOST
Yep.
Ron SlayHOST
And we ended up losing a guy like Debo, who was like we talked about when Cosell was on 92.
Ron SlayHOST
What was it? 92 targets, 92 catches, whatever it was.
Ron SlayHOST
92 kills.
SteveAUDIENCE
Had a Saturday Night show, too.
SteveAUDIENCE
Everybody had their own type of shows, and it was called Live Saturday Night with Howard Cosell.
SteveAUDIENCE
So they actually had to buy the rights to say Saturday Night Live from ABC Television just, you know-
Tommy LugauerHOST
But the name of their show was Saturday Night
Jack PattyHOST
The best boxing reporter of all time, who? Probably it's-
Mary Jo PerinoGUEST
You mean Howard Cosell?
Jack PattyHOST
What...
Jack PattyHOST
Yeah.
AndyHOST
Yes
Eddie BuffaloHOST
... and Howard Cosell.
Eddie BuffaloHOST
This is Howard Cosell with Dr. Andy.
Eddie BuffaloHOST
What do you think you're gonna do today, Dr. Andy?
AndyHOST
This next fight is interesting.
Mark MalkoffGUEST
He knew he was going to get arrested the next day for refusing to join the army and go into Vietnam or the military.
Mark MalkoffGUEST
Howard Cosell walks into his hotel room, and he finds Ali under the covers in bed, and he's watching Johnny Carson.
Mark MalkoffGUEST
That's what he was doing the night before.
Mark MalkoffGUEST
He knew he was going to get arrested.
Scott JohnstonHOST
And we'll start with Billy White Shoes Johnson, who was a dangerous all-purpose weapon, averaging 24.2 yards per kickoff return, and was just a fantastic one of the most fun guys to watch.
Scott JohnstonHOST
I remember Howard Cosell on those Monday night football highlights.
Scott JohnstonHOST
You always wanted to see Billy white shoes, Johnson and coach bum Phillips joke that putting Billy in a phone booth with a defender would still take 10 minutes for the guy to touch him.
Scott JohnstonHOST
That's how the great moves Billy white shoes had back in the day.
Rich BonnifaceNARRATOR
Not just the dead's journey, but something universal about American life.
Rich BonnifaceNARRATOR
Sportscaster Howard Cosell started quoting it on Monday Night Football in the 70s.
Rich BonnifaceNARRATOR
It appeared on graduation cards, retirement speeches, wedding toasts, on corporate slideshows at tech companies.

The phrase had entered the cultural psyche in a way few song lyrics ever do.
