Al was giving an interview some 12-15 yrs ago on a radio show long gone called 'McDonnell-Douglas' inLA. The interviewer tiptoeing around Cossell stated how great it must have been to work with Howard and his )+(Cossell) sad passing by the old nonsense "...now he's looking down at us." Quick as a whip Al retorted "Ahhh No I'd bet he's looking up at us."

I remember Al Michaels telling a story of 83 Philly & Baltimore World Series on the air Howard says "Welcome to the winter Olympics." Then they are signing off & Howard looks at Al Michaels & said "Alfalfa well you proved that well you proved that Lake Placid was no fluke." Lol ouch

ABC was doing the 1984 ALCS. At the conclusion of it, Michaels and Cosell got into a heated argument about Cosell's drinking. Michaels had to have Cosell removed from the booth. Later Michaels recalled that Cosell had become a ``cruel'' and ``evil'' person.

I only liked Cosell when he did boxing matches on ABC. On MNF he was always a annoying microphone hog. I was glad when they finally dropped him from MNF. He was clueless on baseball broadcasts. He was in love with his own voice

Cosell hated baseball, thought it was too boring. He said the only reason he covered baseball was that his friend Sparky Anderson was a manager.
