It was kind of worse than Howard Cosell and his “Look at that monkey run!”
I didn’t think Cosell should have been fired for that back in the day.
The player name was Monk, Art Monk.
Besides, Jarret looks like a snake, come on Rosanne!

“Look at that monkey run!”

I seldom laugh out loud reading and alone but I did reading that one i read it and the internal voice i heard was Cosell lmao

back in the late 1980s didn't Jimmy The Greek say something to the effect about black NFL players play the game so well because of their slave breeding for the cotton fields?

Omg, I’d heard that story, but I never knew the guy’s name was MONK. That makes the firing so much more stupid.

Not Art Monk, it was Alvin Garret Cosell was referring to that time. His exact quote was: “Joe Gibbs wanted that kid and the little monkey gets loose doesn’t he?” 4 other times, live on air, Cosell called athletes “little monkeys”, once even referring to white Atlanta Braves second baseman Glenn Hubbard: “That little monkey can really pick it!”. (Cosell explained that he called his little grand kids little monkeys all the time as they scampered around his house and yard and that is how he meant the term regarding athletes). No announcer was more for the black athletes than Cosell, especially his 2 favorites, Ali and Jackie Robinson. I always enjoyed his work. My personal favorite was the Ali-Cosell bit: Cosell: You’re being extremely truculent” Ali right back quickly: “Whatever truculent means if it means good, I’m that!” What a pair those two were!
