all the negative press on TO hasn't prevented dick vitale from piling on.
this from dick's "stock watch", where he (or some intern) charts the ups and downs in the world of sports. this was the dick's lead item in "stock down":
Terrell Owens has created enough controversy with the Eagles.
that's it. really. he managed not to say anything negative about a guy that pretty much cries out for it. "created enough controversy"? what does that even mean? it's an incomplete sentence, so it's hard to say. allow me to put some words in the dick's mouth
... with the Eagles that they have decided to fire his stupid ass.
see how easy that was?
now for some tidbits from his v-mail mailbag. I don't have time to dissect each response. you can read it for yourself at espn.com, or you can just imagine what a third grader would say if you asked him a question and he wanted to impress you without possibly offending you. here goes:
when asked about the chances of Ok St. this year:
They have young talent, different than the experienced talent they lost in John Lucas, Joey and Stephen Graham, etc.
so you're saying that young players are different than older players? got it. I'll make a note of that. when asked about U of A, or as I like to call it, USC, Southwestern Campus, the Dick says:
Lute Olson is an architect who has a winner's mentality.
got it. not like those other coaches with a loser's mentality. Roy Williams was the big loser until last year. maybe flaking out on your program and players can help you find that "winner's mentality"?
and finally, when asked about how many tournament teams the ACC will have and if North Carolina will make it, The Dick says:
North Carolina will be an up-and-down team this season, but I feel the Tar Heels are capable of shocking people. They will beat some people you don't expect and they will fall to some others you wouldn't predict. They have such a young team but there is talent. With the class coming in next season to join the nucleus of Tyler Hansbrough and company, then you will see something special. I feel that six teams from the ACC will make the field of 65. Duke is certainly the class of the league, and Boston College will be in the hunt as well.
let's see: 6 ACC teams in the tourney, and North Carolina... ummm... wait for it... they'll win some, lose some, and then what? will they? won't they? the Dick doesn't say. why would he? it would make too much sense to answer the question.
wouldn't want to offend anybody, would you?
great job all week. I hope the cable guy fixes my tv / dvr.
