I love watching the series"Battle of the Network Stars" on Espn classics; Howard Cosell was the host 4 all 18 except one : the 1 in May of 1985.... That was when Dick Van Dyke & Joan Van Ark replaced Cosell ;
Does anybody know why Cosell missed that one episode of BNS? In fact the 1st 16 were at Pepperdine University then the 17th w/o Cosell was moved to Mexico in 1985 then there was a 3 when there was no BNS & it returned in 1988 but with Cosell again ...... But why did he miss the one in 1985, it was terrible w/o him as the the host.... If anybody knows y he missed?
