I bet that game was boring as hell but Howard and dandy Don gave you a reason to watch
Howard, in particular, understood that sports was evolving to a broader, multimedia entertainment category, and he was willing to do what it took to entertain the folks. That's why he and Ali were so close - they were pioneers in that P.T Barnum-style of metaphorically putting butts in seats.

In Cossell's book "I never played the Game" He predicted what we would have now on TV sports. He called it "Jockocracy" and that the more ex athletes get involved in sports TV the more they will have to rely on video because they don't have anything to say. Either they are too technical with stuff only another pro would understand, or they are stupid he implied like a certain someone who's still out looking for the real killer!
