  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, February 3, 2010 It's Time to Give
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, February 3, 2010 It's time to give announcer King his due Ray Ratto, San Francisco Chronicle, 2/3/2010 Jon Miller's latest honor, as the winner of the Ford C. Frick Award for baseball broadcasting, is one of those no-brainers that really was a no-brainer - as in, "You mean he wasn't in already?" Which brings us to Bill King, who hasn't won, and at this rate might never win. Not the Frick, not the Pete Rozelle Radio-TV Award and not the Curt Gowdy Media Award. None of them. And that remains an amazement. King, the definitive voice of the Raiders and Warriors, and longest-serving voice of the A's, has come close to the Frick before only to fall in 2007 to Kansas City Royals broadcaster Denny Matthews, and it is a weird tribute to King's career that the Frick is actually his best shot even though most people believe he was better at football and basketball than baseball. The problem of course is that King is the classic case of out-of-sight, out-of-mind greatness. He died in 2005, his work was almost exclusively in radio, and his gifts were too broad for easy categorization. He isn't in the Pro Football Hall of Fame through the Rozelle Award because the award has been given almost exclusively to TV broadcasters and executives. The only two radio figures to win in 22 years were Buffalo's Van Miller and Pittsburgh's Myron Cope. He isn't in the Basketball Hall of Fame through the Gowdy Award even though many of his contemporaries are.

  • Howard Cosell Has Never Won Rozelle Award
    Howard Cosell has never won Rozelle Award Courtesy si.com (Sports Illustrated Website) by STAA client Marky Billson (August 5, 2010) The Pete Rozelle Television-Radio Award is given annually by the Pro Football Hall of Fame to an iconic football broadcasting figure for "longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football." Yet for the 21-year history of the award, there has been one glaring oversight: Howard Cosell has not won it. Cosell needs no explanation of why he belongs; he is simply the most famous sportscaster of all time and the lead of the classic Monday Night Football broadcast team of the 1970s and early '80s. Everyone else associated with that influential lineup; Frank Gifford, Don Meredith, even producer Roone Arledge, has won the award. Dan Dierdorf, who indirectly took over Cosell's role on Monday Night Football as the critic in the broadcast booth from 1987 to '98, won the award in 2008. This year's winner, Chris Berman, who gets inducted Friday at the Hall of Fame dinner, regularly mimics Cosell by shouting "He! Could! Go! All! The! Way!" while commenting on football highlights. Even Myron Cope, whose 1967 piece on Cosell in Sports Illustrated, "Onward Through the Broadcasting Jungle," foretold Cosell's intrepid broadcast journalism style three years before the creation of MNF, won the award in 2005. (Cope was the Pittsburgh Steelers' color commentator from 1970 to 2004.) "Howard has, since the beginning, been one of the names on the list," says Joe Horrigan, Vice President of Communications/Exhibits at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a Rozelle award voter.
