Muhammad Ali dubbed the “Athlete of the Century.” His heavyweight fights and beautiful style have been a constant inspiration for me. His phrases were masterpieces in self marketing, everyone knows float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The showmanship and his ability to rope- a – dope with the best of them makes him the greatest of all time.

My father Frank Hummons Shackelford Jr. introduced me to Cassius Clay, since both are from Kentucky (KY). Cassius Clay didn’t changed his name until 1964 after joining the Nation of Islam. Cassius Clay is a cold blooded name. It was always a joy to see my father’s eyes light up and chest stick out when Cassius’s brilliance flashed across the television screen. The creative banter between Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) and Howard “tell it like it is” Cosell created a cadence of insight before the fights, after the fights and in the trenches that will never be recreated in sports broadcasting. Cosell was also an outspoken supporter of Olympic sprinters John Carlos and Tommie Smith after they raised their fists in a “black power” salute during their 1968 medal ceremony. In a time when many sports broadcasters avoided touching social, racial, or other controversial issues, and kept a certain level of collegiality towards the sports figures they commented on, Cosell did not.

As a long time Jet fan, oh how I wish that Howard Cosell could have been calling the recent game between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets with “Dandy” Don Meredith and Frank Grifford. Phil Sims and Jim Nance need to take a look at the style of Howard Cosell and rethink their sport broadcasting etiquette.

The commentary is supposed to be about the game and what is happening on the field, not your disbelief that Tom Brady and squad were losing the game and how you had to think positively that they could get back to what they had been doing all year. I still cannot believe the blatant bias of a team on the air. Can we say, tell it like it is, not how you want it to be.

“The fight is won or lost far away from the witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under the lights.” Muhammad Ali
