Sportscaster

The Resume

    (June 9, 1939- )
    Head coach of the Detroit Pistons (1978-79)
    ESPN Sportscaster (1979-2004+)
    Considered one of college basketball's top analysts
    Announced ESPN's first NCAA basketball game (December 5, 1979)
    Hosts 'Dick Vitale's Fast Break'

Why he might be annoying:

    He is a front runner announcer.
    He fakes excitement.
    He has too many stupid catch phrases like 'Super! Scintillating! Sensational!,' 'Rolls Roycer (superstar),' 'PTP'er (Prime Time Player),' 'Dow Jonser,' 'All-Windex player (rebounder),' 'Get a TO (time out), Baby,' 'Awesome Baby' 'M&M'er (mismatch)' 'All-Thomas Edison (inventive player),' 'Diaper Dandy (freshman star)' and 'Maalox Time (final moments of the game).'
    He ends just about every sentence with 'baby!'
    His nickname is Dickie V.
    If you purchase $50 worth of merchandise on his site you get an autographed picture of him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is usually excited to orgasmic proportions over the smallest things. Like a bench player making an 8 foot jumper.
    He has a tendency to stick up for small schools and conferences.
    Even if it is faked enthusiasm, he adds interest to college basketball and is not afraid to be controversial.
    He is quoted as saying: 'I learned from my mom and dad, who didn't have a formal education, but had doctorates of love. They told me that if you gave 110 percent all the time, a lot of beautiful things will happen. I may not always be right, but no one can ever accuse me of not having a genuine love and passion for whatever I do.'
    He awards five scholarships annually to the Boys and Girls Club.
    He is a member of the Board of Directors of the V Foundation (named for the great Jim Valvano who died of cancer) to find a cure to cancer.
    He has a glass eye.
