Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:19,809 --> 00:00:22,270
Oscar, you son of a gun.
2
00:00:23,470 --> 00:00:24,570
You devil.
3
00:00:25,550 --> 00:00:26,550
Congratulations.
4
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:31,210
What is this? What are you doing?
5
00:00:31,570 --> 00:00:32,569
Never mind.
6
00:00:32,570 --> 00:00:33,529
What's this?
7
00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:37,190
What? Alex Karras will be missing from
Monday Night Football for two weeks
8
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:41,310
because of a film commitment. Among
those being considered as the third man
9
00:00:41,310 --> 00:00:45,250
Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford is well
-known sports columnist Oscar Madison.
10
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:46,990
I read it. I read it. So?
11
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:48,790
No.
12
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:52,450
You're being considered for one of
broadcasting's biggest plums. All it
13
00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:53,450
from you is a so.
14
00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:54,630
Look, what are you doing?
15
00:00:55,170 --> 00:00:58,610
I'm not even involved. I give it a
whoopee.
16
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:01,530
Well, save your whoopees, will you? It's
only a one -shot. Karras is coming
17
00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:03,990
back, you know. This could lead to
bigger and better things.
18
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:06,410
College football announcing. The
Olympics.
19
00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:07,610
You get to go to Moscow.
20
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:09,170
I'm not going to get the job.
21
00:01:09,530 --> 00:01:13,490
Well, how do you know you're not going
to get the job? But Howard Cosell hates
22
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:14,490
me.
23
00:01:14,850 --> 00:01:18,090
Remember what I wrote about him two
weeks ago? I call him the mouth that's
24
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:19,090
bored.
25
00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:22,350
Yeah, but who reads your column?
26
00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:29,410
Maybe somebody read it to him. When I
read about this Monday thing, I called
27
00:01:29,410 --> 00:01:30,810
twice. He didn't return either call.
28
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:33,150
I'm telling you, I think he still
carries a grudge.
29
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:35,950
He'll return my calls. Why?
30
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:40,510
Do you know what Howard Cotell loves
more than anything else in this world?
31
00:01:40,650 --> 00:01:41,650
Himself.
32
00:01:43,610 --> 00:01:44,610
More than that.
33
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:45,710
Who?
34
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:47,930
Martina Arroyo, the great opera singer.
35
00:01:48,670 --> 00:01:52,290
That's right. And he's an opera buff,
right? He's a bigger opera groupie than
36
00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:54,930
am. And I'm the guy who followed Joan
Sutherland into a telephone booth and
37
00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:55,930
nearly suffocated.
38
00:01:57,310 --> 00:01:59,630
He's insane about Martina Arroyo.
39
00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:01,170
How's he going to help me?
40
00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:05,650
I'll introduce him to Martina Arroyo.
He'll owe me a favor. You'll cash in.
41
00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:07,410
One hand washes the other.
42
00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:10,550
Well, you'd never understand much about
washing, would you? Oh, but that's a
43
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:11,329
terrific idea.
44
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:13,170
If you set it up, I think it'll work. I
mean it.
45
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,900
The Odd Couple was filmed in front of a
live audience.
46
00:03:50,460 --> 00:03:55,440
Members of the Lexington Avenue Opera
Club of Central Park West, today is the
47
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,940
greatest day in our history for we being
honored with the appearance of one of
48
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:03,360
the world's greatest opera singers, Miss
Martina Arroyo.
49
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:17,779
We're all dying to hear you sing, Miss
Arroyo, and she will in a minute. We're
50
00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:20,440
awaiting the arrival of one more
superstar.
51
00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:23,100
Oh, we appreciate this so much.
52
00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:26,860
Anything for you, Felix. You're the only
photographer that can make me look like
53
00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:27,860
Twiggy.
54
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,720
There he is!
55
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:32,060
There he is!
56
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:34,140
Well...
57
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
How are you, Howie?
58
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,840
Don't call me Howie.
59
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Mr. Royal.
60
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,840
For me, the culmination of a life's
dream.
61
00:04:57,180 --> 00:04:58,560
Thank you, Mr. Purcell.
62
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:03,120
At my suggestion, Mr. Royal is going to
sing an aria especially for you.
63
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,760
I am overwhelmed, my dear.
64
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,680
Thank you. Sit down, guest of honor
chair.
65
00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:10,300
Here we are. Oh, don't you look nice.
Look how nice.
66
00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:13,830
You don't have the little ABC on your
chest there.
67
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:18,770
Congratulations, Unger. You can read
ABC.
68
00:05:19,050 --> 00:05:21,270
Next week, we'll have you up to D.
69
00:05:23,230 --> 00:05:24,590
Such a kidder.
70
00:05:26,050 --> 00:05:27,050
All right, now.
71
00:05:27,450 --> 00:05:30,790
Mr. Royal will sing Tacea la Notte from
Il Trovatore.
72
00:07:32,430 --> 00:07:35,430
I guess I owe you one. Yeah, well,
that's sort of what we figured.
73
00:07:36,190 --> 00:07:37,710
What is it you want me to do?
74
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:42,010
It's not for me. It's for Oscar. More
than anything on earth, he wants to be
75
00:07:42,010 --> 00:07:43,010
Monday Night Football.
76
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:47,150
Unger, that's out of my hands. I don't
tell the network who to hire.
77
00:07:47,450 --> 00:07:49,890
Mr. Cosell, I'm quite surprised.
78
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:54,510
A man of your great influence, and you
can't do anything for Oscar?
79
00:07:55,290 --> 00:07:57,830
I don't know why Muhammad Ali talks to
you.
80
00:08:06,190 --> 00:08:09,450
gone down a peg in her eyes just because
you don't like Oscar.
81
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:10,670
Are you kidding?
82
00:08:11,130 --> 00:08:14,370
I'd love to have Oscar. I think he'd be
terrific.
83
00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:17,310
I thought you were mad at him. I am.
84
00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:23,890
The man has written tasteless things
about me in his column, and I can't
85
00:08:23,890 --> 00:08:28,070
of a better way to get even than by
having him on my show.
86
00:08:28,310 --> 00:08:29,350
I don't understand.
87
00:08:30,190 --> 00:08:33,030
Let me elude today, Dunger. You're a
little slow.
88
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:43,100
It's a big hit because in addition to
sing the game, the viewers love to
89
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:48,160
hear the three of us trade insults.
Yeah. Heap abuse, the one upon the
90
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:52,660
Yeah, yeah. And with a witless boob like
Madison in the booth, I'd have a
91
00:08:52,660 --> 00:08:56,160
fielder. You know I'm going to do it,
Miss Arroyo.
92
00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:03,800
You have convinced me, my dear. I am
going to insist on using Oscar
93
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Madison.
94
00:09:06,730 --> 00:09:09,230
Nothing of it, my dear. Thank you, Mr.
Cassell.
95
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:15,710
By the way, Unger, your apartment is
furnished in questionable taste.
96
00:09:17,650 --> 00:09:18,790
Oh, yes.
97
00:09:19,550 --> 00:09:25,430
Mr. Roy, I hope I have the opportunity
of repaying the favor soon. Perhaps I
98
00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:27,790
shall do an aria for you.
99
00:09:28,050 --> 00:09:32,710
Goodbye, Mr. Cassell. My dear, you may
call me Howie.
100
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:48,240
No, no, Mr. Arroyo, you don't have to do
that.
101
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Oh, I can't even leave a room without
cleaning up.
102
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,220
I'm compulsive that way.
103
00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:56,000
What a wonderful way to be.
104
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,760
I'll get your coat.
105
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,980
Spirit! Oh, hi.
106
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Hi.
107
00:10:03,460 --> 00:10:04,860
You must be Oscar.
108
00:10:06,220 --> 00:10:07,220
Yeah.
109
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:09,980
Oscar! Ah, you met Mr. Arroyo, huh?
110
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,220
Who? This is Martina Arroyo.
111
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,680
Oh, hi.
112
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,540
Hi. You make her clean up, too?
113
00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:19,710
She's compulsive that way. She's a neat
freak.
114
00:10:20,110 --> 00:10:21,110
Yeah, I like to help.
115
00:10:21,310 --> 00:10:23,190
Well, you sure helped me. I got that
job.
116
00:10:23,530 --> 00:10:25,830
You got it? Yeah, that's why I rushed
home. I got a call from the network.
117
00:10:26,110 --> 00:10:28,350
See, I'm going to do one game with
Costello. He's going to announce it on
118
00:10:28,350 --> 00:10:30,510
radio show. Oscar, you can't take that
job.
119
00:10:30,750 --> 00:10:32,850
What? You can't take that job. Why not?
120
00:10:33,130 --> 00:10:36,790
Just believe me, you can't do it. Felix,
I would kill for that job. If I'm good,
121
00:10:36,850 --> 00:10:38,110
they'll put me on Wide World of Sports.
122
00:10:38,390 --> 00:10:41,930
He wants to cut you up. He wants to
expose you as a buffoon and a boob.
123
00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:42,930
are his words.
124
00:10:43,210 --> 00:10:45,950
You mean he wants to give me the job so
he can make a fool out of me? That's
125
00:10:45,950 --> 00:10:47,050
right, in front of 40 million people.
126
00:10:47,630 --> 00:10:50,910
I don't believe that. I'm telling you
the truth. You can't take it. You better
127
00:10:50,910 --> 00:10:51,649
be prepared.
128
00:10:51,650 --> 00:10:54,190
I don't think I have to prepare. I don't
think he's as big an ogre as everybody
129
00:10:54,190 --> 00:10:56,110
makes him out to be. I want to listen to
him. All right.
130
00:10:56,590 --> 00:10:58,230
All right. Come on. I can take you home.
131
00:10:58,690 --> 00:10:59,750
He won't listen to me.
132
00:11:00,130 --> 00:11:04,630
He's a very, very strange man. I know. I
found his shorts in the oven.
133
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:12,570
The players won't speak to you. The
alumni are after you. The college is
134
00:11:12,570 --> 00:11:14,030
considering dropping football.
135
00:11:14,430 --> 00:11:15,770
And even your children have...
136
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I'll prepare a little.
137
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:22,620
Coach Carter has just written out his
resignation.
138
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,560
I told you I'd get him, and I got him.
139
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,320
I'll prepare a lot.
140
00:11:35,780 --> 00:11:37,500
Let me turn the sound down. No, no, no,
no, no.
141
00:11:37,860 --> 00:11:39,020
We're going to make our own sound.
142
00:11:39,420 --> 00:11:42,280
Why? Next week is Oscar's turn to do the
game, so we're going to have a
143
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,120
simulation, a real broadcast, right
here.
144
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,740
Can I say hello to my mother?
145
00:11:45,940 --> 00:11:46,940
Yes.
146
00:11:46,980 --> 00:11:49,480
I've really been studying a lot. I've
memorized the number of every football
147
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,720
player. Fine, but how will you respond
to Howard Cosell's sarcasm? That's the
148
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,540
problem. With wit, I'll top him every
time. Don't worry about that. Now, here
149
00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:57,540
are our microphones.
150
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Can I have the egg beater?
151
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:03,420
Give him the egg.
152
00:12:07,780 --> 00:12:11,300
I'll be Howard Cosell. You'll be you.
You'll be Frank Gifford. Hey, he's the
153
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:12,400
cute one. Great.
154
00:12:14,510 --> 00:12:18,730
Now, I'm going to treat you mercilessly
just the way Cosell will, so respond in
155
00:12:18,730 --> 00:12:21,830
kindness. Don't hold back the venom. Let
me have it. I don't want to give it to
156
00:12:21,830 --> 00:12:24,670
you. I don't want to give it to you.
Now, keep your eye. We'll do the game.
157
00:12:24,670 --> 00:12:27,610
afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
158
00:12:27,850 --> 00:12:33,550
This is Howard Cosell bringing you the
thrill of victory and the agony of
159
00:12:33,550 --> 00:12:38,710
defeat. With me in the booth is my
indestructible sidekick, the Gifford
160
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:43,960
16, Frank Gifford. How does today's
gridiron pairing sound? strike up with
161
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,640
Well, Howard, it's obvious these two
squads came out here to play today.
162
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,520
I'm looking forward to a real Donnie
Broke.
163
00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:56,780
And a big hello to Mrs. Fanny Greshler
of Miami Beach.
164
00:12:57,860 --> 00:13:03,340
Thank you, Dick. Also with us in the
booth is a man who has been writing a
165
00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:08,680
sports column for 16 years and still
hasn't learned how to get it right.
166
00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:12,020
One of America's true illiterate others.
167
00:13:13,790 --> 00:13:15,430
Same to you, Howard.
168
00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:22,210
Did you hear that, ladies and gentlemen?
What a quick wit.
169
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:23,550
Ah, shut up.
170
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:29,130
Well, you got me that time, Matt.
171
00:13:29,610 --> 00:13:30,650
So's your old man.
172
00:13:31,810 --> 00:13:35,650
A renaissance man with a Neanderthal
mind.
173
00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:38,230
Now, your mother wears army boots.
174
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,260
game to do. What are you doing? What is
that?
175
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:44,620
That's not wit.
176
00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:49,680
So's your old man. What is witty? What
witty may say. That's what's witty. Like
177
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:53,640
what? Emerson said, a foolish
consistency is the hobgoblin of little
178
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,720
And how often does hobgoblin come up
during a football game when a guy misses
179
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,720
forward pass?
180
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,440
Delaroche Foucault said, there is
something in the misfortunes of even our
181
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,980
dearest friends which is not entirely
displeasing to us.
182
00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:07,970
Is that what he said? Yeah. Well, I want
to get the help of a professional. Who?
183
00:14:08,090 --> 00:14:10,110
The wittiest man I know, Joey Bernie.
184
00:14:10,630 --> 00:14:12,110
Joey Bernie? Yeah.
185
00:14:12,510 --> 00:14:13,930
The nightclub comic?
186
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:16,810
He can make jokes on anybody. You know
what he said to Queen Elizabeth?
187
00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:19,190
What? Don't fall down and break your
crown.
188
00:14:20,990 --> 00:14:23,450
That was in Earl Wilson's column. It's
one of Earl's pearls.
189
00:14:24,210 --> 00:14:26,870
I'm sorry. Emerson never made Earl's
pearls.
190
00:14:27,610 --> 00:14:29,670
He's on the 30. He's on the 20.
191
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:30,870
He's on the 10.
192
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:36,650
Touchdown. giving Pittsburgh an early
lead. By the way, aren't the cops doing
193
00:14:36,650 --> 00:14:38,930
great job of crowd control?
194
00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:46,230
I hope you're done.
195
00:14:50,470 --> 00:14:53,410
Hey, don't lose the track. My Bermuda
shirt's ready.
196
00:14:55,339 --> 00:14:58,240
I gotta get out of here, Wharton. I
can't eat this slop anymore.
197
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,360
Oh, I went to Havana on one of those
cruisers for $49 .50.
198
00:15:04,020 --> 00:15:06,760
Asylum butler. Hello, hello. All right,
okay, all right, okay.
199
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:10,880
I came right over the minute I got your
message, Oscar.
200
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,520
How do you feel? You look terrible.
201
00:15:12,780 --> 00:15:17,380
I just came back from a doctor. He told
me I got the body of a 25 -year -old. I
202
00:15:17,380 --> 00:15:19,120
said, don't tell my wife. She'll make me
give her back.
203
00:15:20,510 --> 00:15:22,610
What a place that's done an early
disaster.
204
00:15:22,950 --> 00:15:23,929
Look at this.
205
00:15:23,930 --> 00:15:26,030
Fruit and people starving and you can
starve it.
206
00:15:26,690 --> 00:15:28,450
Wax fruit, what are you expecting, wax
people?
207
00:15:29,490 --> 00:15:31,850
Quick impression, Madame Ouspenskaya.
208
00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:33,590
Come on, Joey, please.
209
00:15:33,930 --> 00:15:36,630
Look, I want you to do me a favor. What,
what, what? I need some insults. Put
210
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:39,470
down. Insults? Yes. Oh, put down.
Insults, insults.
211
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,960
Let me see. My wife is so ugly, I take
her everywhere.
212
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,480
It's better than kissing her goodbye.
213
00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:46,660
Oh, she has long black hair.
214
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,680
Luckily, she has long gloves to cover
it.
215
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,260
That's a goodie. I'm rolling. I know you
are, but see, it's not a woman that I
216
00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:57,960
want to insult. What, a turkey? A hockey
puck? A man. A chair? A table? A man. A
217
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,620
man. Oh, a man. A man.
218
00:15:59,860 --> 00:16:02,800
Hey, buddy, give me a blueprint of your
brains. I'm building an idiot.
219
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:07,490
You may be strange, but you're
exceptional. You're exceptionally
220
00:16:08,290 --> 00:16:13,350
That's not so good. Oh, I got one now.
If brains were dynamite, you wouldn't
221
00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:14,790
have enough to blow your nose.
222
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:17,750
How'd you hear that one? I just bought
it. No, they're terrific.
223
00:16:18,410 --> 00:16:20,510
But look, these are for someone
specific.
224
00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:23,990
Specific? Yeah, Howard Cosell. Howard,
Howard, Howard Cosell? Yeah.
225
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:27,930
Oh, Cosell, you mean the sports guy? Oh,
the big guy.
226
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:32,090
Yeah. Oh, the one with the long, plain
tongue and a hi -fi head. Good. Yeah.
227
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,280
I got it. You say to him, hey, Cassell,
I'd like to see evil Kamevo jump over
228
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,159
your mouth.
229
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,060
With your tongue and a loaf of bride
bread, you could open a delicatessen.
230
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Hey, Cassell, why don't one of your
relatives die and leave you a little
231
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,480
You like that? Okay.
232
00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:50,600
Cassell, I got two words to describe
you, tall and cheap. Good, good. Listen,
233
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:53,340
why don't you go home, think about it,
write them out. I'll write them out. See
234
00:16:53,340 --> 00:16:56,820
you in about a week. Remember the words
of Alexander Graham Bell, who said to
235
00:16:56,820 --> 00:16:58,920
his wife in bed, what do you mean my
three minutes are up?
236
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,160
Hey, buddy.
237
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:11,900
What do you think? You like it?
238
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:13,420
If I'm good, they do the alterations.
239
00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:17,740
Oscar, I've been reading this material
you got from Joey Bernie. You really got
240
00:17:17,740 --> 00:17:19,579
to do this stuff? Cost me 35 hours.
241
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,480
I think you'll get more laughs with the
jacket.
242
00:17:23,940 --> 00:17:26,880
When you cut it out, I'm going to make
minced meat out of that guy. Look how
243
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,940
smug he is in there. I'm going to tear
him apart.
244
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:31,830
With typewritten insults, you're going
to tear him apart?
245
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:35,010
Felix, this is my big chance. You see
that guy in there? That's Moon Arledge.
246
00:17:35,150 --> 00:17:36,410
He's head of the whole sports
department.
247
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:39,910
He's going to be watching me. Now, look,
Howard, I know you don't like Madison,
248
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:43,450
but give the guy a chance, will you? If
he's any good at all, we'll have him
249
00:17:43,450 --> 00:17:45,410
back and really let him have it next
week.
250
00:17:46,550 --> 00:17:47,550
Okay, room.
251
00:17:47,670 --> 00:17:51,630
As a matter of fact, I think you're
right. I'll give him every courtesy and
252
00:17:51,630 --> 00:17:52,630
consideration.
253
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,020
Besides, I'm kind of curious to see how
he'll do. You know, he's really not a
254
00:17:58,020 --> 00:17:58,899
bad sort.
255
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:01,300
No, I think you'll like him. Get ready,
will you? We have three seconds to go.
256
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,200
They're rolling the open. Good luck and
be great.
257
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,780
Hello again, everyone. This is Howard
Dosell. We're awaiting the start of a
258
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:15,500
preseason flat between Paul Brown's
unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals and a
259
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:17,720
New York Jets football team.
260
00:18:18,190 --> 00:18:23,310
Normally, old number 16, the Gipper,
Frank Gifford, would be my sidekick
261
00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:28,110
tonight, but the Gipper has been
sidelined, clipped by the flu bug.
262
00:18:28,330 --> 00:18:34,230
It's my pleasure to say, however, that
we have the pleasure of bringing in a
263
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:39,930
voice in the sportscasting horizon
tonight, the winner of many journalism
264
00:18:39,930 --> 00:18:45,390
and... I think perhaps the most
knowledgeable and responsible sports
265
00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:46,610
of them all, Mr.
266
00:18:46,910 --> 00:18:48,170
Oscar Mattis.
267
00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:50,030
Thanks, Needlenose.
268
00:18:53,890 --> 00:18:57,790
Listen, Howard, is that a new jacket
you've got on there, or did you just
269
00:18:57,790 --> 00:18:58,790
the old one repainted?
270
00:19:04,390 --> 00:19:09,840
Oscar, as an acknowledged expert on
professional football, How do you see
271
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:10,840
tonight's game?
272
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:14,180
A lot better than you do without your
glasses, four eyes.
273
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,480
You know, Howard, I never miss your
radio show. I never hear it, so I never
274
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,260
it. Yes, sir, Howard, you've got a great
voice.
275
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:24,520
It grates on everyone.
276
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,680
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be back for
the opening kickoff in just one moment.
277
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:34,980
That was just a warning. No, no, no. I'm
going to kill this show. Isn't that
278
00:19:34,980 --> 00:19:35,980
terrific?
279
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:37,390
What are you doing?
280
00:19:38,430 --> 00:19:40,050
Aren't you listening to the man? Why?
281
00:19:40,250 --> 00:19:42,670
He's done nothing but say nice things to
you. He's a pussycat.
282
00:19:43,710 --> 00:19:46,930
It was nice, wasn't it? Well, of course.
And there you are insulting him. I
283
00:19:46,930 --> 00:19:49,490
wasn't listening. I was paying attention
to this. You're joking.
284
00:19:49,950 --> 00:19:50,950
I'm up.
285
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:54,190
The man was so nice to you. You know
what you just did? Well, the first time
286
00:19:54,190 --> 00:19:57,330
broadcasting history, you've got an
audience rooting for Howard Cosell.
287
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:04,260
Well, Rune, did you hear it? I tried to
be nice, and what I got was a cut -rate,
288
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:10,360
lower -case Don Rickles. The man is
obviously an insensitive dole. Yes, I
289
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:11,219
it, and you're right.
290
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:14,620
I thought you handled it beautifully. I
thought you acted like a prince. As far
291
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:18,340
as I'm concerned, Howard, whatever you
do from now on is up to you.
292
00:20:18,820 --> 00:20:20,860
Handle it the way you want it. You got
it.
293
00:20:21,870 --> 00:20:25,450
All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's
Horst Muehlmann of the Cincinnati
294
00:20:25,450 --> 00:20:31,070
Bengals teeing up the ball for the
kickoff. And I must say, Muehlmann has
295
00:20:31,070 --> 00:20:34,090
an interesting story behind him, doesn't
he, Oscar?
296
00:20:34,370 --> 00:20:35,329
That's right, Howard.
297
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:36,089
That's right.
298
00:20:36,090 --> 00:20:39,210
Muehlmann is just one of the many fine
soccer -style kickers we've got from
299
00:20:39,210 --> 00:20:43,870
Europe. Didn't you once write in a
column that the soccer -style kickers
300
00:20:43,870 --> 00:20:46,050
never make it in the NFL, Madison?
301
00:20:46,990 --> 00:20:51,250
Well, that was about five years ago. Of
course, 20 -20 hindsight.
302
00:20:51,490 --> 00:20:55,690
Number 12, Joe Namath, quarterback for
the New York Jets. Out on the field now,
303
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:56,750
ready to move his team.
304
00:20:57,970 --> 00:21:02,450
Namath has just thrown a 19 -yard pass
down the middle. What's your view of
305
00:21:02,450 --> 00:21:03,510
Namath this year, Madison?
306
00:21:03,850 --> 00:21:06,770
Pretty good, Howard, pretty good. That
knee doesn't seem to be giving him that
307
00:21:06,770 --> 00:21:07,669
much trouble, huh?
308
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:12,430
Don't you remember that great exclusive
of yours just one year ago announcing
309
00:21:12,430 --> 00:21:14,770
Joe Willie's retirement from football?
310
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,920
Changed his mind.
311
00:21:18,420 --> 00:21:23,740
Never mind. A jet lineman apparently
injured on the play.
312
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,460
That was a great pass against a terrific
Bengal defense.
313
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,720
How do you know it's a terrific defense?
314
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,660
They play a great seven -man zone.
315
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,160
Who told you about it? Nobody. I know
all about zones.
316
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,640
Why do you think I'm betting $100 and
laying seven points on the Bengal? I
317
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,640
believe I should have.
318
00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:43,320
Betting $100.
319
00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:47,280
and giving seven points on the bench.
320
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:54,460
You heard it here, ladies and gentlemen,
a bare -faced admission of professional
321
00:21:54,460 --> 00:22:00,720
football wagering. I suspect, Madison,
that the commissioner of the NFL,
322
00:22:01,060 --> 00:22:05,060
Alvin P. Roselle, is awaiting your
explanation.
323
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,640
Well, you see, I was in his car. Say
something.
324
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,930
Well, I was in his car. I wish some
relative of yours would die in... leave
325
00:22:13,930 --> 00:22:14,930
some wax fruit.
326
00:22:18,830 --> 00:22:22,030
I'd like to see Evil Knievel jump over
your Bermuda shorts.
327
00:22:22,410 --> 00:22:24,590
You know your Lautrec is too loose?
328
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:30,950
After this commercial, one of us will be
back. Let's put up a minute spot on
329
00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:31,950
mental health.
330
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:40,770
And here's where you are, Howard, in
tomorrow's column.
331
00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:46,390
His insults and barbs are just a small
part of the big man, a man whose style
332
00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:47,389
totally unique.
333
00:22:47,390 --> 00:22:51,350
Howard Cosell has the attention of 40
million Americans every Monday night.
334
00:22:51,550 --> 00:22:52,950
What are you trying to do, Madison?
335
00:22:53,250 --> 00:22:55,010
Ruin my image? If possible.
336
00:22:55,370 --> 00:22:58,370
Listen, I want to thank you for really
copping out for me on the air.
337
00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:02,750
Don't mention it. I knew you were
nervous. I can understand it. After all,
338
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:03,750
were sitting next to me.
