NobizLikeShowbiz Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Am I the only one who thinks he takes away from the enjoyment of watching a game?? I heart Dick Vitale...I think he adds the excitment to the game. He seems like he does not have a biased toward any team...(maybe the ACC) a little bit but can you blame him?? They are arguably the best conference every year! Compare him to Billy Packer...then see what you think! "He's awesome baby, with a capital A!"

gametime Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 LOVE Dukie V. Best in the business... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrambler Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I heard D.V. talk to bunch of h.s. kids one time on espn. That changed my mind on him. I agree that he can be annoying but he honestly cares about the kids (on and off the court) and that is what it is all about. I believe that his passion for the game is real and honest. I like him but I would suggest de-caff for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPat02 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I can't say I like his obvious biases, but you have to admire how much passion and enthusiasm for the college game he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare him to Billy Packer...then see what you think! Maybe the ACC, Duke or Carolina ???:confused: Do ya think?:laugh: His ACC bias is the main thing that I have against him. Even at that, I do like to hear him call a game. Like I said in my previous post, he has a passion for the game and really cares about the kids.

gametime Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I don't think people realize how hard it is not to be biased, at least a little, to the programs that do it the right way when calling a game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titletownclown Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I like Vitale mainly because he stays so positive when talking about the kids playing the game. Of course, sometimes it gets to the point that the "best player in the nation" plays in EVERY game he calls. It's hard not to like someone who seems to have something good to say about everybody. For that, I respect and admire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strike-3 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 ^ If you watch enough basketball on ESPN, his All Rolls Royce team will consist of about 37 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gametime Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 ^ If you watch enough basketball on ESPN, his All Rolls Royce team will consist of about 37 players. And, again, I LOVE it. Let him hype a kid having a great game and season. What's the harm??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPride Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I think that Dickie V IS college basketball! I truly enjoy him as well...I actually look forward to the games that he does....how many people in this country bring that kind of enthusiasm to their jobs every single day?
