outclassed Cobb so relentlessly that Cosell vowed to never announce another fight. It was an ethical decision based on justifiable criteria, but it made him look buffoonish to the common man: The still-healing Cobb quipped that hed let Holmes punch him in the face for another fifteen rounds if Howard promised to quit covering football, too.
It never mattered if Cosell was lecturing on a subject he understood deeply (such as Alis constitutional rights as a pacifist) or something he did not understand at all (like the strategic nuances of baseball). His reasoning was always circular: What Im saying is true because I am the person saying it. Of course, Cosell would have never expressed anything
