There were THREE separate "little monkey" comments made by Cosell.
#1. "You know that little monkey... again, the theorem was that he was too small for pro football." - August 29, 1972 K.C. Chiefs vs. N.Y. Giants preseason HOF game (re: Mike Adamle)
#2. "Look at that little monkey run!" (what player???, game, punt or kickoff return?)
#3. "That little monkey gets loose doesn't he." - September 5, 1983 Dallas at Washington (re: Alvin Garrett)
@TheOneThirteen I think he only got one extra year from the NCAA due to injuries. He was born in 1955 and 1975 was his freshman year at OU; so perhaps he was in that age slot right between school classes and was old for his class in high school? Who knows...
Was it Simms in comment #2???
