Fred "The Hammer" Williamson was and still is today a Cool Black Cool Legend. Howard Cosell was Cool because he and Muhammad Ali were Cool with each other. Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford were both Cool as the main voices of ABC's Monday Night Football.

Howard Cosell's book "Like it Is" was published around the time that Fred Williamson assumed his role as Dandy Don's replacement, and included an entire chapter in which Cosell said that he thought Williamson would be successful. Williamson worked a few (three, I think) pre-season telecasts, but received very negative reviews in the media, and was fired before the first regular season telecast, replaced by Alex Karras. Cosell's negative comments about the "jockocracy" are rather mild and restrained compared to the views he expressed a decade later.

Of the cup of coffee Fred Williamson had at MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, Howard Cosell wrote in his book I NEVER PLAYED THE GAME, "History will record that Williamson was so palpably unsuited for broadcasting that he was unceremoniously fired after a few exhibition games . . . Williamson had the gall to allege that I was anti-black [and claimed] that he was a better performer than I and that I was jealous of him."

Ah, too bad we don't get to see the entire interview. Howard Cosell elevates the proceedings. The only public figure who compared to him, at least that I ever knew, was Orson Welles, in that their considerable accomplishments in their fields notwithstanding, Cosell and Welles were even more compelling just being themselves.

Fred has gone on record in saying that Howard did NOT like Fred. They didn’t click on Monday Night Football. When they sent them on tour. The black kids only wanted to talk to Fred. Howard hated that. Howard refused to talk to Fred on air. ABC paid Fred off and released him from his contract. Fred was too brash, controversial, cocky and a LITTLE arrogant. Ha.
