Dick Vitale by the Numbers
(The Daily Czabe)
-
Steve Czaban: "As you might have heard recently on my radio show, I have become a Billy Packer fan. Not, I'm not madly, head over remote in love with Packer, it's just that compared to the tired lounge act that is Dick Vitale, Packer has become a true breath of fresh air. You need to listen with a note pad to each guy during a game to see what I am talking about. Or maybe you've already figured it out. Vitale does just about ANYTHING to avoid actually breaking down the game you are watching. Oh sure, he'll make 'comments' about the game. He'll make 'statements' about it. But actual ANALYSIS? Nah. Not his gig."Fox Sports Radio jock Czaban, like loose-cannon KC Star columnist Jason Whitlock, is one of those 80/20 sports commentators to me: 80% of the time, I think they're just complete and utter boobs -- extremely lucky fellows who have jobs where they can lecture to millions of people on a daily basis, and have no requirement to be correct about anything they say. But the other 20% of the time, their observations are so spot-on that they appear almost brilliant. With March Madness upon us, you know we're going to get an overdose of college hoops on TV in the next month. It's already started, and you know that you'll be looking live at Dicky V's and Billy Packer's bald mugs on your HD monitor non-stop through April. Czabe's comparison of those two is right on the money.
