Indeed it does.
Say what you want about Vitale being an annoying announcer and a caricature of himself. He does so much to fight cancer for others. He's a good man. I hope he continues to annoy for seasons to come.Some good news about Dick Vitale.

My favorite NBA broadcaster ever. Knows the game so so well and focuses on the game, and has a good time doing it. No BS shtick. No ego. Just basketball.Former Duke assistant coach Hubie Brown will end his broadcasting career in February. ESPN:
ESPN says Hubie Brown's final broadcast Feb. 9
ESPN has announced that 91-year-old Hubie Brown will call the final game of his broadcasting career on Feb. 9.www.espn.com
It'll be a full-circle moment for Brown. The Basketball Hall of Famer's finale will be in Milwaukee, where his professional coaching career started in 1972. The Bucks will play host to Philadelphia that afternoon, with the game preceding that day's Super Bowl.
and he was very very nice to me 50 years ago when he was at Duke, a real pleasure to deal with.
As a manager on the 71/72 varsity team, I can concur that he was, and I presume still is, a gentleman.
I agree, with the notable exception of repeatedly calling the star player by the wrong name.
To my own surprise, I liked Bonner last night, too. He seems to have been phased out in terms of the number of games he covers, but he also seems like he has toned down his particular schtick. I used to groan when I saw him smiling cheesily at the start of a broadcast, and did the same last night, but compared to guys like Corey Alexander, I found last night's color commentary to be a breath of fresh air.
In all fairness, Bonner has Cooper Kupp on his fantasy football team.I agree, with the notable exception of repeatedly calling the star player by the wrong name.
I’m just amazed that with the incredible day of college and pro sports on TV today that the game Youre watching is Clemson-Wake basketball!
I thought he was pretty good, compared with some of the garbage we usually have to listen to. Granted, his voice and delivery are essentially a good substitute if you can't find your Ambien, but at least, for the most part, he is talking about the game and sometimes making helpful comments.
