re: #341 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

I remember watching surfing on WWoS, and every time they’d show an old-fashioned pointed surfboard and laugh about what idiots people used to be. Now I notice all the surfboards are pointed again….

TIL that Howard Cosell, after serving in the Army during WWII, was a practicing lawyer for about 7-8 years before getting his first host gig on the radio:

After the war, Cosell began practicing law in Manhattan, primarily union law. Some of his clients were actors, and some were athletes, including Willie Mays. Cosell’s own hero in athletics was Jackie Robinson, who served as a personal and professional inspiration to him in his career.

It certainly explains a lot about his style…
