Howard Cosell is a wimp
Cosell was a sports journalist in the mid 1950's, who was self-described as "Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff." If he thought that of himself, there's no telling what others thought of him. (except, of course, we know that the writer of this song thinks he's a wimp.)

I hate watching football games, baseball is so fuckin' lame
T.V. sports they all suck shit
T.V. sports they all suck shit
The writer of this song was obviously watching television and saw that too many of the channels were occupied by sports networks, and got frustrated with that so decided to write a song expressing his frustration with the recent popularity of sports that leads them to take up so much airtime.

Ali and his old aged fame, yeah he's washed up, he's fuckin' tame
The writer of the song is tired of seeing Muhammad Ali on TV just because he was a famous boxer, he thinks that since it was so long ago he shouldn't be famous anymore, saying that he's washed up and old, so people should get over the fact that he was famous once. This contributes to the whole song's feeling of frustration against all sports in general, but this specific lyric targets boxing, and, in particular, Muhammad Ali, a boxer who won the heavyweight championship in 1964.
