The soft drink companies needs were sympathetic to the changing needs...
...ONLY TIME I Never Played the Game is at all worth reading is when Cosell is talking about people who have played the game. When he isn't talking about himself, Cosell really does have some interesting things to say. His chapters on boxing and Sugar Ray Leonard are particularly well-done. This is the stuff of good sports books. Howard never gets anecdotal, but in these few chapters, he comes as close as one might expect from the loud-mouthed commentator...
