Does the World Wide Web get any better than this? Howard Cosell analyzes Jan Smithers while she sits in a dunk tank at the mercy of Dick Van Patten in 1979 on Battle of the Network Stars.
“This is a very serious girl, in point of fact,” Cosell concludes.

What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

I feel suddenly delirious.
Good luck to DT and TBLA at the tournament. I’m expecting to see gap doubles by both Jon & HJ on the scorecards.

The Cosell quote I remember is on MNF when some small black receiver caught a pass and headed for the end zone. Cosell said “Look at that little monkey go!”

that’s how I remembered it, but it’s not exactly what he said apparently:

Huh. Whoever the proprietor of that site is, he or she did some work to put it together.
My memory was that it was one of the Redskins, but I was thinking later when they had the Smurfs. Cosell was long gone from the booth at that point, I’m pretty sure.
Thanks, Mike.

We play this dunking game where I live at Our Lady of Mount Carmel’s Feast of San Paolinis, in early July every summer, only they use a clown. Now I know how they can get more people to throw the ball at the target.
