My Howard story is one I’ll
Always remember. I’ll skip the lengthy part, but just tell ya this He’s guesting on my Nightly Sports talk show in New Orleans before the @Saints@Raiders game in the early 80’s. After finishing he needed to cut his morning ABC Radio Show which lasted 3 minutes after a quick open and 60 second spot. No copy, and after my Producer asked him for it, he laughed. Howard hit 3 topics and was out on the 1 count. Afterwards he laughed, looked at us and said, “what did I tell ya young man, it’s all here(pointing to his head)I’m a ……g genius.” That’s Howard may he RIP. 🙏
