HOWARD COSELL MAKING A COMEBACK?

HOWARD COSELL MAKING A COMEBACK?

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a warning for sports fans: Howard Cosell is making a comeback. Don't worry: It's not the real sportscaster, who passed away in 1995. Instead, it's two TV-movies that feature actors playing the part of Cosell. Actor Fred Willard will play Cosell in an ABC TV-movie, "When Billie Beat Bobby," which centers on the 1972 "Battle Of The Sexes" tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Willard admits he looks nothing like Cosell but figures there are lots of people around who don't remember what Howard looked like. In addition, John Turturro has been cast as Cosell for "Monday Night Meyhem," a TNT movie about the early days of "Monday Night Football."
