dick vitaleLet the flow of passion: an energetic crowd Vitale Mercer Show He is 70 And he was just playing basketball with his grandchildren in the lobby of a hotel. Do not act your age? Dick Vitale is more than willing to not guilty.
It’s highly doubtful that Vitale will ever change, and the nearly 600 people on hand at Mercer’s University Center who listened to the ESPN college basketball announcer Monday night saw as much. Vitale the broadcaster is a little different than Vitale the speaker, but passion and volume are two shared traits. When Vitale’s passion switches from basketball to life, his voice goes up an octave or two. He covered everything a man who went from teaching the sixth grade to the NBA to headline broadcaster could cover, all relating to work ethic, honesty, passion, drive and humanity, and often with a touch of humor.
He remembers how he felt depressed after being fired as Detroit Pistons head coach when he received a call from a man to help launch this new sports cable network. "Said ESPN?", Vital network co-founder Scott Connal. "I thought it was a disease." He said that people wondered if he tells the truth about his new job, because nobody has ever seen on TV.
