I remember in the '70s he hosted a TV show called Sports Challenge. It was set up lit the Quiz Bowl but it would be 3 players from different teams, (72 Dolphins vs. 72 Redskins would be a show) and all the questions were sports related.

Wow. I loved that show growing up! It was really a great show to test your sports knowledge. Thanks for bringing that memory up.
