Vitale lost his left eye at a young age. Check this NYTimes article - I don't know where this fact should be added so I leave it to you... http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9806E2DA1439F937A15750C0A960958260 65.28.8.224 (talk) 18:55, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

The NBA game in January 2009 is NOT the first Vitale's done with ESPN. In their early history, he did both pro and college games. See Miami Herald article at http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/barry-jackson/v-fullstory/story/834390.html . Zigwithbag (talk) 01:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I was directed here from the Criticism of ESPN article, which reference's Vitale's alleged bias towards Duke and/or the ACC. However there is no mention of that here, despite the existence of a cited quote by a head coach referencing the bias. I'm going to add the section, and borrow from the criticism article, unless anyone can tell me why that section isn't present.

{{Substituted comment|length=613|lastedit=20070410135608|comment=Dick Vitale never knocked Kentucky during his speech on ESPN. and he also never said he would coach at florida just to play against kentucky. What he said was that Florida was an elite program where anyone would love to coach, and that Donovan already has a great thing going that he built himself. He did say that if Donovan left he'd be wiling to coach Florida for $1 because it would be a great place to coach, not just so he could beat kentucky as the article says. Whoever wrote this sounds like an angry kentucky fan who doesn't like Florida, or Duke for that matter from what i read earlier in the article.}}

No sources for most of content. Little more than a personal opinion piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.110.46.43 (talk) 14:49, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

I believe that it is, and something should be added to the "Video games" subsection of "Appearances in other media" about it. What does everyone else think? ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIX747oAvkQ link to the video]) Sebastian^{Talk | Contrib.} - 03:47, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

:Okay this is 4 years later but given the fact that the video has nearly 2 million views (and is likely the reason why most of the people who watched it know who Dick Vitale is) I think it would be reasonable to do. BeckPhillips42 (talk) 00:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
