I feel like he has to be in character to be that loud and obnoxious. I can't imagine its legit. Its as over the too as Gilbert Gottfried talking.


Not a phony bone in his body. A lot of annoying ones maybe, but the guy is exactly as he appears to be. Believe it or not.

Vitale is like cocaine. A few small doses here and there can really make a party. Too much though...

He was awesome years ago. However, he should've retired a while back. There's a reason they pulled him off big games. I think ESPN is too scared to tell him to beat it.

A few weeks ago someone mentioned that ESPN was making a push to have their announcers do this on purpose.



It's so bad that I have to try to use context clues to figure out what the officials might have called.

"Petty looks pissed, they must have called him for the foul. I'll try to remember how many fouls that might be on him."

"There was a whistle, no free throws, and we got two points. They must have called goal tending."

"Rojas is on the floor with the ball. Must be an offensive foul."

Meanwhile the announcers are rambling about some random team in another conference, or what they had for breakfast.

I said this in our game thread, but Dookie V is either not that bad or nails on a chalkboard/outright unprofessional depending on who is involved in the game. It has to be two elite programs or two not so elite programs. If it's a game like last night or like Duke and Virginia Tech or something his incessant blue blood cheerleading is flat out offensive to fans of the other team. I mean he might as well wear a fricking Duke jersey to any of their games he does color for.

Verne was also one of the best in his prime. Vitale in his prime was still Vitale.


Verne still calls a damn good PGA tournament. I'd take Verne everyday over Vitale's ear bleeding voice.

I'm happy as can be to see Bama's basketball team doing well right now, but damn having to listen to Dick call a game.
