Default MNF/Cosell

This isn't really a ticket, per se, but an employee game pass, that has an interesting story. I picked this up with a very large lot of stubs and employee items. This gentleman worked for the Eagles for like 10 years, and saved alot of neat items. This game in particular was the Eagles first Monday night game in their history. The Eagles employee got the pass signed by Eagles owner Leonard Tose, Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, Irv Cross, and Tom Woodeshick. The fact Cosell and Meredith signed the pass is pretty neat given what happened during that game. Leonard Tose threw a pregame party (Tose was a big drinker himself) and Cosell convinced him to open up the bar early. Cosell had a few too many vodka martinis at the party, and was noticeably drunk during the MNF telecast, to the extreme of throwing up on Don Meredith's boots. Cosell only made it through the first half, with Meredith and Keith Jackson doing the second half alone.
