I poked fun at Mike and Chris earlier today regarding their musings on past Best Picture winners.
But to be fair and balanced, I completely agreed with their take on Dick Vitale's performance during the exciting Memphis-Tennessee tilt Saturday night.
Dickie V.'s attention seemed to strangely wander at times.
During a key late-game play, he was talking about the Duke-North Carolina rivalry instead of the game in front of him that ESPN had spent all week hyping.
Weird.

Why do you consider this "weird"? This is how he has called every game for the last 20 years. What's "weird" is the fact that this buffoon still has defenders in the media.
Tex: I used to enjoy your work, but you shouldn't have said that thing you said on the air that day. What were you thinking?!
Trivia Question:
Who replaced Tex as the weatherman on Eyewitness News?
Hint Hint: A long Island boy!
Dickie V.'s defenders shall say he's a great ambassador for the game. Well if he is that than shouldn't he be more focused on the game at hand than sucking up to the ACC, talking about his website, or the Oscars? He jumped the shark a long time ago.
Frank: Storm Field?
You are correct sir!
I prefer to be remembered for my work as an artist, not as a weatherman.
Robert Montgomery Knight said the exact same thing to Connie Chung that Tex said to Roseann Rosanadanna and didn't get fired for it.
Dickie is fine as long as he is not broadcasting! The man is bloviating bore. His non-stop off-subject blabber distracts from the game. DICK ... it's suppose to be a basketball game with cogent commentry, not the Dickie V show with video of a game
