I read Sharon Cobb’s (at the time Randy’s fiancée) blog about the Tex Cobb vs Larry Holmes fight, and found another witty quote by Tex:
It was Thanksgiving time, and a lot of the crew were cranky about being away from home for the holidays. No one was more vocal about his displeasure than Howard Cosell, who was the most annoying sportscaster I ever met.
As we were getting in the elevator at the Houston Astrodome where the fight was being held, Howard turned to Tex and said, “My wife called, and is upset that I am away for Thanksgiving.”
Without missing a beat, Tex turned to Howard and said, “That’s funny, she called me and thanked me.”
