from wiki...
Meredith's broadcasting career was also not without a few incidents of minor controversy; including referring to then-President Richard Nixon as "Tricky Dick", announcing that he was "mile-high" before a game in Denver, and turning the name of a Cleveland Browns player (Fair Hooker) into a double entendre. (saying 'Fair Hooker...well, I haven't met one yet!') |

Quoted: Thread is hard to find. Nobody here is old enough to have watched MNF 40 years ago or such. Young feller....when I was a kid....nobody had a TV set..... let alone would have ever dreamed that they'd be showing football in primetime. Come to think of it....way back then.....this country was a lot nicer place to be. Shame that you missed it. |

I miss him because he was a character from before the days of PC garbage. He lived and worked in a time when the term "functioning alcoholic" was a compliment.
There was a great article in the October 2010 playboy titled "the Biggest Gamble in Sports" about the history of MNF and it had a few great stories of the days of Dandy Don and Cosell. |
