Dick Vitale is Targeting Duke-UNC Game for Return to Broadcasting

TackleMeBen · 01-14-2008, 11:36 AM

ESPN's Dick Vitale, who had surgery to repair his vocal chords, plans to return to broadcasting games with the February 6th showdown between Duke and North Carolina

A scope and analysis of Vitale's throat by Dr. Steven Zeitels in Boston revealed that the broadcaster has recovered sufficiently after the removal of the non-cancerous lesions.

"I was in tears when he asked me to speak my first words since the surgery," Vitale wrote in a letter to fans. "Believe me, it was very difficult to go 3? weeks without speaking! When he had me count to 10, I was so relieved."

No, it's not. The man is a living gimmick, he has no substance. Dick Vitale has done more damage to the profession of sports broadcasting than anyone else in history and I hope he retires very soon and is never heard from again.
