Shut the Fuck up Dick Vitale!

Postby Dro on Thu Jun 29, 2006 9:17 am

Jesus Christ, you think he would've had a heart attack or stroke by now. He NEVER has anything negative to say about college players. In previous years, he would always try to find something negative about incoming high school players. No HS players this year, so now he talks shit about foreign players.

For example: He said what the experts say about Bargnani is what they also said about Milicic and Tskitishvili (sp?). Yeah? Well how about while you're at it, you mention Dirk Nowitzki and Pau Gasol you scurvy son of a bitch.

I personally hate Dick Vitale, always have and always will. I'm not going to wish him a heart attack or a stroke but it'd be nice to hear from someone else other than a dick, err Dick Vitale.

anyone have a vid of what he and the rest of the panel said? interested in what they have to say about the Raptors pick. Just saw a vid when Raptors picked Bargnani, those damn NY fans idiots, booing Toronto's selection. STFU, Raptors have a better team AND a better future, BITCHES.

The annoying thing about the Draft was that Stephen A Smith and Dick Vitale was there.

Yeah maybe they should be like soccer fans and start with racist slurs like in other countries, thats much better.
Jesus Christ, you think he would've had a heart attack or stroke by now. He NEVER has anything negative to say about college players. In previous years, he would always try to find something negative about incoming high school players. No HS players this year, so now he talks shit about foreign players.

He's always questioned foreign players. He also questions certain college players. I don't understand how you can get so upset at him..
For example: He said what the experts say about Bargnani is what they also said about Milicic and Tskitishvili (sp?). Yeah? Well how about while you're at it, you mention Dirk Nowitzki and Pau Gasol you scurvy son of a bitch.

His whole point is that people rave about forgein players and expect people to buy into it. The exact same things were said about Darko and why he should be taken at number 2, ahead of Melo, Bosh, Wade etc. This is not him exagerating, that is what was said.
I personally hate Dick Vitale, always have and always will. I'm not going to wish him a heart attack or a stroke but it'd be nice to hear from someone else other than a dick, err Dick Vitale.

Gee thats so funny.

Like toronto has done anything in their existance to be proud of. Having the number one pick is a charity, not something that is earnt. And look at NY fans, they are real fans. They dont chase stars out of town like Tmac and Vince, and then hate them becuase they become successful in their new teams.

Is it me or are all Raptors fans 12 years old?
"JJ, you better get me some tickets BABAYYYYYYYYYY"...SHUT UP!!! I hate it when he says that..."BABYYYYYYYYYYY!".

And I hate the way you post.

:boohoo:

Vitale likes proven players, so thats not hypocritical. He criticised the hawks selecting marvin williams ahead of deron williams and chris paul last year, and he was a college player as well.
he had a damned emotional sex face in that move, thats the gods honest truth.

You need a "damned" english lesson.

I thought Dick Vitale was exactly right. The foreign players seem to have their weaknesses ignored somewhat, whereas college players have them magnified. Look at Redick. The guy's one of the best players in Duke's history, but he has every move analyised and examined until there's nothing left. If he was from Russia he would've gone in the top 5.

I liked Vitale and Smith... I hated Bilas and Patrick though.

Bilas is too unoriginal. He repeats what he says too often cause he really doesn't have all the info. I don't know how many times i've heard, "Foye is like a fire hydrant with his head cut off. He just bounces of people." or "Thomas is freakishly athletic, sort of like a smaller version of Amare." When discussions come up among the other analysts he just repeats his 1 or 2 legit points he has.

Anyway, I like Vitale, I find him entertaining, not annoying, unlike I do Bill Walton.

Especially with the European guys he's obviously never heard of. I think he described about 5 of them exactly the same way.

I think Vitale knows a whole lot and can contribute interesting points, but his presentation (i.e. voice, word choice, and volume) ruins it for me.

Stephen A. Smith about 50% of the time says stuff that is alright. He says more controversial stuff which is nice just because it gets going. But the same thing with him as Vitale. He just yells all the time and for no apparent reason, and after 4 hours that gets really. I Also like the point I think Jae made a while back about how he has all these opinions that we're supposed to believe and support but what has he done to gain any credibility? Greg Anthony and Bilas at least played in the NBA...

I hated the commentators...

Stuart Scott is annoying as hell. He asks the most pointless questions ever, makes the dumbest observations... does he intentionally act like an assclown?

Stephen A. Smith is equally annoying , and has no clue what he's talking about.

Dick Vitale's voice is so annoying, it made me cringe (no joke).

Only person I liked on the crew was Jay Bilas... Greg Anthony can get on my nerves sometimes too.
