I invested some time today in the Pitt-Georgetown matchup on ESPN. Unfortunately that meant suffering through two hours of Dick Vitale's nonsensical babble.
Headed to a commercial break, Dick took a real stand....declaring that he didn't like college teams (Georgetown) playing in NBA arenas because (paraphrasing)..."they sell beer here and college kids are drinking at 11:00am. That's a no-no."
Imagine that, college kids drinking beer? Of course it's ok for Dick to act drunk on the air. What's next....apple pie? Mom? Baseball?
These colors don't run Dick.

11:00 AM? Georgetown is weak.
Christ, when I was an undergraduate I would start drinking at 7:00 AM for noon football starts.
Wow, can someone remind me fo something, wasn't it Vitale who did many promotions with Hooters which sells beer as well? He helps promote a place that sells beer and makes his living off of analyzing college basketball. Sounds like a conflict of interest there to me. I know many college venues that sell beer to legal age adults and there is nothing wrong with it, at least not as bad as hearing his voice for 2 hours (thank God I had it muted while I was working out at the gym earlier). I am getting so sick of this pompeous, self righteous ideal that beer sales should be stopped because 5 people out of 50,000 act like jerks. By the way, if you think that by not selling beer at these arenas, it's a step to stopping college students from drinking, your even dumber then i thought. Drinking has been and always will be around college campuses and I think the legal drinking age should go back to 18 as well. I know many students who drank in college and still got their masters or doctoriteall while being on the dean's list nontheless. Vitale makes Billy Packer tolerable.
i was not aware of a posted start / stop time for college drinkng.
I have a problem with someone giving me life lessons who is most famously noted for being an obnoxious loudmouth know-it-all.
Before you know it he'll have his own talk show, Dr. Dick.
I started watching a very good BB game between NC and Duke. I finally had to turn it off because of Dicky V's stupid motormouth rantings. I am sick of his "nexcheers", "lasscheers", "neksht levels", "diaper dandys", and his blatant Duke cheerleading. How does this idiot stay on the air?
