Dick Vitale needs some new lines if I have to listen to him constantly.

[BigDaddyFin]

Can we get rid of this guy?  Seriously?  Either that or get him some new goddamn catch phrases.

College basketball has been over for a month and I still have to listen to him on sports radio and on TV.

Rather than rant too much I came up with a few new lines for him so that at least the game will be someone funny.

When a shot bounces off the rim:
"CLANG, BABY!"
Shot rims out:
"he got RIMJOBBED!"
During a prolonged period of dribbling:
"BOUNCE BOUNCE, BABY."
Player who has a poor shooting night:
"Get him some mortar baby, he's shittin bricks!"
Player who has no business taking three point shot does so and misses predictibly:
"BRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK-ASAURUS"
Player can't shoot free throws/misses easy layups
"He's shootin blanks (from the line)"
Player who has the ball stolen:
"He got stripped like a hooker at a Duke party!!!" (Insensitive but no less hysterical)
Hot woman in crowd onscreen:
"TITS, Baby!!! With a capital T!"
Coach on hot seat / team blowing large lead:
"Call Chernobyl, Baby!!!"
Player gets injured:
"Call Sebelius Baby!!!"
Player takes/commits hard foul:
"Call Gil Grissom Baby!! Let's get CSI in here."
Shot spins around rim awhile dramatically before dropping:
"Spin Spin Baby!!! Call the Maytag man."

I want to hear Gus Johnson and Dick Vital do a game together.

One time thing, just to see them both crowbar in as many of their "catchphrases" as possible into 1 game.

I'm just thankful they don't let the son of a bitch do other sports. 

I'd like to see what happens if you put him and Robin Roberts who is equally useless in the same booth.

I'm curious what caused a Dick V rant outside of college basketball season.

I don't root for injuries.  But I would not cry if Dick got a permanent case of laryngitis.

I'm curious what caused a Dick V rant outside of college basketball season.

That's exactly what caused it, Phish.  College basketball has been over for more than a month, and if I turn on the sports talk radio here in Raleigh, he's on it.  If I turn on Mike and Mike in the morning, he's on it.  And of course the guy doesn't separate his announcing from when they're just interviewing him about stuff. 

Madden would get excited when he's in the booth, but he doesn't sound like that in most of his interviews.  Vitale sounds like that all the time, the season's long over, and still I have to listen to it.
