The kind of in-depth analysis that Van Pelt does is not something that Cosell could do.


Well he couldn't. Do you think Cosell would have been capable of fleshing out both sides of an issue?

Hell no! That kind of analysis would not have even occurred to Cosell as something to even be considered. How would that have fit his brash bombastic narrative? Don't you remember the clashes he had with Gifford and Dandy Don in the MNF booth?

I was born in 1983. Have read a lot about Cosell and have also heard my dad talk about him compared to today's sports journalist.

You do realize 90 percent of Van Pelt's job is reading a teleprompter and sticking to whatever script/talking points his producers give him, right?
