Re: McDonough: Cousy On The Way Out?

[Dan Forant Sr <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Maybe McDonough don't know, doesn't listen to the games, otherwise he'd be
lulled to sleep with the Cous's unexcitable version of the games. The Cous
would do well at blasting sites where noise and agitation are kept to a
minimum. I don't think he burns a calorie for 2 1/2 hrs per game. Maybe he
should lighten up on the meds. Maybe Fox wants it's money's worth for a
change. We are going to have an exciting team this season, it's time for
some excitement from the mike. Guess I was spoiled by Johnny M. To his last
day he didn't act like a relic.
