Don Meredith was the first sports broadcaster who knew how to be both informative and entertaining...

Frank Gifford knew the game....

But he was about as entertaining as a card board box....

And Howard Cosell....

Don't even get me started on Howard Cosell....

He was one of my favorites in the booth. Always seemed like a great guy and was definitely the most interesting/informative guy in the booth on MNF.

Adding: and good on you LJ, being a Washington partisan, to give notice to one of the all-time Dallas greats.

Long Run, I was too young when he was playing to have any hate filled memories of him as a player...He played back before the rivalry really got going under George Allen....

Now Roger Staubach, on the other hand....
