Dick Vitale Is Not The Dick Vitale That's Been Slandering Superintendent Nelson In <em>The Conway Daily Sun</em>

This contention was at long last cleared up last week, when Lorraine Vitale did a standard Google search for h...

Cease And Desist, Baby! Vitale's Management Asks Website To Take Cartoon Down
PM Sports, a newish site which markets itself as a site for "sports-centric comedic videos that blur the lines between wrong and wrong," posted the above cartoon in February. It's a fairly whimsical premise: the impolitic Vitale, bored without March Madness games, causing a ruckus at a funeral....

Dick Vitale Is Very Diligent About His Halftime Research
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap.

Dickie V: Impartial To The Very End
I have absolutely no doubt that, had he been on hand at the Little Big Horn in 1876, Dick Vitale would have been jumping wildly and screaming superlatives in support of Crazy Horse.

If you've seen "Hoop Dreams," or if you've seen one of his "motivational" speeches, you see a very different Dick Vitale than the one shilling for pizza or Duke.

Never have I eaten at a Hooters Restaurant, although I always found it amusing that in Toledo there was a Hooters across the street from a Catholic grade school.
