Down goes Woodstock

What IS Mr. Cosell saying, Snoopy?

It wasn’t what he said so much as how he said it.

And cheer up, Woodstock. At least you don’t have someone yanking the ball away at the last moment.

Mr. Cosell isn’t saying ANYTHING these days (for obvious reasons). Don’t worry about it Snoopy.;-D

Cosell had an awful variety show called “Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell”. When it was cancelled, “NBC Saturday Night” became “Saturday Night Live”. There’s your useless trivia for the day.

And here I thought that Woodstock got top billing as a kicker. Instead I see that he is just a featherweight player.

Monday Night Football with Dandy Don and Humble Howard.

Knowing Snoopy and Woodstock’s luck it’s the day that Felix Unger and Oscar Madison from “The Odd Couple” were in the broadcast booth.

This is going to be a loooong game! :D

Physics are against you Woodstock … give it up.

I am old enough to remember a Monday night football where Cosell is in the booth with football hall of famers Don Meredith and Frank Gifford. Dallas was playing New York and each team was doing the best it could to lose the came.

Cosell commented, “Well, gentlemen, it looks like your respective teams aren’t doing so well tonight.”

Meredith replied, “Well, Howard, at least we have respective teams.”

I remember a news article from that era. Seems a local bar in a rural area would run a raffle each week. The bar would buy a junker tv and set it up outside. On Monday night the winner of the raffle would get to blow up the tv with a shotgun when Howard first appeared.

Football really isn’t Woodstock’s sport!

Today, it would probably be Al Michaels or Joe Buck…

yes fans we’re still waiting for the kick off and it is clear the team is giving us and sports in general the bird.

A good rule of thumb is you probably shouldn’t play any sport where the ball is bigger than you are . . .

Schulz foresaw the kicking woes that a LOT of NFL teams have these days… :-P

Woodstock can only play football with a ping pong ball.

I remember a Monday Night Football game during which the camera focused on a man in the stands holding a sign that read “Will Rogers Never Met Howard Cosell.”

Also the NFL has had a number of barefoot kickers that Woodstock needs to get advice from.

I know what he is saying Snoopy, ’oh, good grief!" in his wa-wa-wa adult tone.

No major league contract for Woodstock.

“It’s a travesty”

What in the Wide World of Sports is a-goin’ on here?

Woodstock is learning da agony of da feet.

I learned of the murder of John Lennon when Howard Cosell announced it during Monday Night Football. May they both RIP.

Some birds are very good at kicking footballs. Cosell is probably rolling over in his grave.

“This is unbelievable!”

“Look at that little monkey kick!”

I think you should resort to indoors “football” played with a paper triangle on a slick countertop. Woodstock would at least be able to have a chance.

LOL! Hey! A sports reference I actually get!!!!

Watch out Woodstock, Once the ball is kicked it is in play and the clock is running.

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Constantly re-booting is not going to make it work any better!

“Whoa, he has trouble with the snap. And the ball is free. It’s picked up by Michigan State’s Jalen Watts-Jackson, and he scores! On the last play of the game. Unbelievable.”
