Show By DAVE WIGHAM Humble Howard finally got to me. USUALLY I can take all his cheerleading aM words that are thrown around the booth when '" around but last Saturday night while watch,. Cowboys and Oilers in a football game I had to " sound off. ;J This guy is really getting to be a cheerleadf. , ! certain players. Last week he took the side ol ' Johnson. In the Humbles own words he thought th-.'. player was "better than a part-time player." ' " THAT'S WHY he's in the booth and had never ' asked to coach a football team. " There was one moment that made it all watching. There was Howard praising this Johnson " saying how great he was and how much more he sine si-ne playing and down on the field Staubach was callir unnecessary timeout because one of the players j!. know where to line up for the play. RightButchJr,-.' ' was lost, he didn't know his assignment. Wfcj, learned them, Howard, he would play more. THE BIG thing about Cosell though, to me, is ability to throw facts and figures at you. Afterall the; has a photogenic memory. He's good at recallir those things and most of the time it's informative Yet this year more than ever he feels it his du,. . come to the aid of some player and to be his spokes-. for the entire contest. I don't know why they pm guys in the booth when his mouth is always going an one else gets to say a word. THEN NEAR the end of the contest he had it: figured out why the Cowboys were able to come back win the game. First of all he admitted that Staubach a great second half and then secondly when they inK Johnson. I about died laughing. True the Dallas signal ci -had a great second half and contributed to the r - r the Johnson insertion had nothing to do with it Wr: ! didn't mention was that Houston rested Earl Car,; the second half and played some reserves in the t sive secondary. Face Howard, the game will turnar . a lot faster with Campbell out of the lineup thanni!-; Johnson kid in there. SEE THE thing that Howard does by cheerleader a guy is to turn people off of that player. Butch Jo1-, is a great football player, and needs no help i Humble Howard in his career. From now on then I guess Monday night footba. c consist of watching the action on the tube and hs:: - to Stereo X on the headset. |
