Ugh! Damn me for having to finish a book once I start it. I was not a big fan of Mr. Cosell or his writing, based solely on what I was reading in this book... And it never got better. He had some interesting tid bits about sports, especially boxing and football, of course, all told from his point of view, which was always undeniably right. I am surprised that Mr. Cosell never tried to take credit for inventing the wheel, discovering fire, and curing cancer, although he did seem to take show more credit for reuniting John Lennon and Yoko Ono at one point. The only thing I can really say that I am happy about this book is that it is over. show less
