Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I mua noa atu i te tīmatanga o te 1985 World Series, ka nekehia atu e ABC a Howard Cosell mai i nga mahi whakapuaki i whakaritea hei whiu mo tana pukapuka tautohetohe "Kaore au i purei i te Keemu". I te waahi o Cosell i tae mai a Tim McCarver (i uru atu ki te kaitakaro takaro a Michaels me te hoa korero tae a Jim Palmer), i tiimata tana haerenga ki te whakauru ki nga whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata o te Ao. E ai ki nga korero, i te 1985, i whakaarohia a Cosell he uaua ki te mahi tahi i runga i nga purongo peera. Te āhua nei, i pā mai a Cosell rāua ko Michaels ki tētahi tautohetohe tino kaha whai muri i te mutunga o ta rātau pūrongo mō te
1984 American League Championship Series nā te haurangi o Cosell i roto i ētahi atu raruraru. E ai ki ngā kōrero, i haere atu a Michaels ki te akiaki i ngā kaiwhakahaere o te ABC kia nekehia atu a Cosell i te tūru. I te mutunga, ka whakapuaki a Michaels i ana raruraru ki a Cosell. I kii a Michaels "Kua noho a Howard hei tangata nanakia, kino, kino".
