Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2410619, member: 40"] I've never been a Dick Vitale fan. Thought his blithering shtick was tiresome in the 80s / 90s, but recognize that he's become an institution to many. Was happy [quietly] a few years ago, when he began scaling down his broadcasts. All that said -- I don't disagree with anything complained about above. But this week -- with the Jimmy V Foundation ties -- it really made sense for Dick Vitale to be on the mike. At this point, he's an old man who rambles even more and is somehow less coherent even than he used to be. But it was for a good cause, and it is a limited thing, so you have to put up with the bad and just hold your nose and recognize why he was one of the color commentators. [/QUOTE]
