Man Crushes in Sports: Have you ever wondered what it’s like for Dick Vitale to sit courtside at a Duke Basketball game?
Imagine being a teenage boy and sitting just a few feet away from Lindsay Lohan. And I’m talking red hair, big jugged Lindsay, not freakishly skinny, slowly decomposing in front of our very eyes, Lindsay.
Very simply put, Dick Vitale has a man-crush.
I hate to say this but the broadcast booth at Duke is in the rafters. It is not courtside at all. Dick Vitale is by far the best at what he does. No one knows college basketball like he does.

50 bucks, Bismarck. Same as downtown. And part of what makes Vitale so, well, vital is that mancrush-style fanaticism. That's not a weird offshoot of his talent, it is his talent. It's gotta be hard some years to get excited about another crop of self-entitled brats who are slowly becoming aware of how easy the rest of their lives are gonig to be, and how little they actually need to give a shit about the world around them, especially when the best of them rarely finish out their four years of Music Appreciation and Flower Arranging electives. Vitale's ability to get freakishly hepped up about these kids is a large part of why people keep watching the broadcasts, baby. Otherwise college hoops would be just another niche sport, of interest to alumni and height fetishists and not many others.

I don't think I'll ever shake the horrible visual image I had of Jon Miller "spreading his man-love around". It is at least nice to see someone else confirm the worst-kept secret in sports journalism, though -- Chris Berman is not funny.

Thanks dfleming ill keep that in mind.But i was only posting my posts to create discussion on popular threads in this forum.Anybody can read yahoo news,but where can we discuss and share our opinions at,in a manor that we do here?Most posts here every sports fan knows about,or at least they have heard something,but i was under the impression that any sports story(be it a first time link)is postable here,and that they were only posted to create discussion no matter how popular of a story or where it is found(yahoo).But thanks anyway.
