John Lennon shot 12-8-80 Howard Cosell tells the world twice John Lennon...



John Lennon was murdered thirty years ago tonight at his Dakota residence in NY City.

I was at the Oakland Coliseum Arena backstage at the Stevie Wonder concert when a guard who had the 'Monday Night Football' game on, told me about what had happened.

This is how Howard Cosell broke the news to the world.

  1. John Lennons death was rightfully mourned by the world.
    What was sad to this boomer baby was how Howard Cosells death was treated quickly and that's it.
    I dont think anybody could guess how he changed sportscasting by whats said about him now.He was shock jock sports,tell it like it is when sportscasters were all no personality types. Yeah,Howard was huge then. Ahead of his time would be accurate.
