I thought it was pretty cool to get a tweet from ESPN’s Dick Vitale Saturday afternoon, not long after I blogged that I didn’t care too much for his and colleague Lee Corso’s self-promoting ways.<\/p>\n

To be specific, I just don’t feel the great games of college basketball and football neeed the breathless, screaming promotion of this pair of analysts.<\/p>\n

Lee Corso<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That said, I have read VERY nice things about how Vitale treats people and it’s very impressive. I also respect the fact I heard from him, briefly, about the blog.<\/p>\n

“It’s pure enthusiasm Matt,” Vitale responded … and I say good for him.<\/p>\n

He and Corso have their fans, for sure, but my point is LESS IS MORE. That is, too much spice ruins the\u00a0 stew.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it would be nice as Vitale and Corso age if they became classy-sounding elder statesmen for their respective games rather than a pair that appear to be self-promoters.<\/p>\n

I’m just saying … though feel free to disagree in a comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
