Boy do I wish I had an opening like Reading Rainbow so you would all just be hooked instantly. Butterfly in the sky, people...I've created a blog dedicated to my sports hero, Howard Cosell. I don't know what Howard would say about the role sports play in our lives today, and I would certainly fail in any attempt to put it anywhere near as eloquent. I would never speak in his stead. Rather, I am dedicating this blog to his spirit, his pursuit of the truth, and above all, to "Telling It Like It Is."
