RIP. He could possibly be the Dallas-area patient zero for every STD epidemic from 1955 through at least the early 80s.

He and Gifford destroyed the asshole of every stewardess, debutante and cocktail waitress they laid their rheumy eyes on.

Ol' Roone Arledge probly hadda keep a veterinarian on staff or at least on call for those dirty dicked motherfuckers.

1) He always had such weird skinny legs.
2) Yeah, I don't want my obit filled with obvious assignment of STD vectorhood to me and my diseased junk.
2A. Rather my ashes be shot out of a cannon.
2b. Or be snorted up the nose of a rhythym quitarist.

His verbal tussles with Cosell were always great. You could just picture Howard's head on the verge of explosion from the sheer aggravation.
