March 15, 200521 yr what a boob... I like his color commentary but he loves the ACC as much as peter gammons loves the yankees... dickie v's final four... UNC- DUKE- WAKE-and Illinois... he is only taking ILLINOIS because there is no ACC team in that bracket......
March 15, 200521 yr He's only back on the UNC bandwagon because how much hell we give him for his Duke bias. Although it wasn't much better when he was obsessed with Dean Smith calling him "Michaelangelo". Vitale is the ultimate bandwagoner, and he's latched on tight to K's ass. I don't have a big problem with his picks, he just picked 3 #1 seeds and a 2 seed, I can see all of them making it, I just don't agree with Duke over Syracuse. By the way, I can't stand his color commentary anymore. He used to be informative with recruits etc, now he's just BABY this and PTP'er that, doesn't add a thing to the games. He does however wear out alot of mute buttons.

March 15, 200521 yr Author QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) Gammons is a Red Sox fan. yankees/red sox... it's still east coast trash....
March 16, 200521 yr Yeah Vitale is a homer. Loves the ACC, doesn't care about any other conference. Sorry to any ACC fans, but I'd love to see only UNC get in, because I want Roy Williams to finally win a championship, but I don't want Duke or Wake to get in.

He does however wear out alot of mute buttons. I think what Vitale does best is promote the overall game of college basketball. I have no doubt that his enthusiasm is for real. But he is no longer a great analyst. The "cheerleading" has just gone too far and I don't feel he really offers very much good information as an Analyst. I think he is good for the game overall, but more in an entertainment/promotional aspect than a serious analyst. I just think he has taken his persona over the top to the detriment of his ability as an analyst.

March 18, 200521 yr How many people can make a comment about JJ Redick without actually seeing him? He doesn't play any defense? Why don't you ask Rashad McCants if JJ Redick plays any defense. And how is he no the best at what he does? Salim Stoudamire is definitely not a better player or shooter then JJ Redick. Stoudamire has taken less 3 pointers then Redick, he also makes less 3 pointers a game then Redick, he's not better then Redick at free throw shooting, and he plays in a conference with the likes of oregon State, Washington State, California, USC, and Oregon.

I think most people have seen JJ play, as Duke is on TV all of the time. Odds are that more people have seen Reddick play vs McCants or Stoudemire.
March 18, 200521 yr I think most people have seen JJ play, as Duke is on TV all of the time. Odds are that more people have seen Reddick play vs McCants or Stoudemire. They couldn't possibly have seen Redick, or else they wouldn't have made an idiotic statement like that. It sound to me like, thos types of people just get their info from what they've heard, rather then actually seeing them play. Edited March 18, 200521 yr by Butter Parque
March 18, 200521 yr Butter the problem is that your just way too biased on this. Believe it or not, there are people on here who have seen JJ play, many times. This includes myself. JJ is good, but he is not the best player in every facet of the game like you make him out to be sometimes. His defense, no matter what you think, is not amazing. And yes, he gets away with shoulder drops and push offs plenty in the lane, whether you see it or not. He's not the only one. But to say he never does is just ignorant.

How arrogent and condesending.

March 18, 200521 yr Redick 115 out of 276 3's at a .417 clip, 93% FT, .410 FG% Stoudemire 110 out of 213 at a .512 clip, 91% FT, .512 FG% So lets compare. Redick has 5!!! more made 3's on the year, while taking 63 more 3's, has a 2% higher FT average, and .10% less in FG%, yet Redick is the better shooter? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK then.
March 18, 200521 yr Yeah they don't share your opinion so they are idiotic. How arrogent and condesending. I'm guessing you've never seen JJ Redick play either. OK, now let me give you an opinion, "I believe that all the Illinois players are gay with each other". That's my opinion. Let me go out on a limb here and say that you probably don't agree with my opinoin and think that my opinion is pretty idiotic right? How arrogant and condesending!

I have seen Redick play tons of times, because Duke is on TV all of the time. I haven't even offered my opinion on his play, or that of any of the other players that were mentioned. I have just watched you claim how badly Duke fans get treated, meanwhile calling other fans ignorant and the like, and figured that you should see that you were acting just like the people that you were calling out.
March 19, 200521 yr Oh c'mon. Is that the best you can do? :headshake why don't you reply to the quote.
March 19, 200521 yr QUOTE(Butter Parque @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) why don't you reply to the quote. What quote? About Redick? Because, I haven't watched him play very much. So I won't put out an uninformed opinion. But your response was lame. That's what I was referring to. I couldn't care less whether Redick is good or not.
March 20, 200521 yr *to the tune of the cheer* HEY! DUKE SUCKS! No one likes Duke for s*** like that. No one likes Jesus Redick for his poetry. No one likes Dickie V because he LOVES THE DUKIES BABY DIAPER DANDIES!!!!!!! No one likes JJ because of his attitude. I think Maryland fans put it best. f*** YOU JJ clap clap clapclap clap. Repeat.

Wow! I don't even think I have a response to such a logical and informative post. I guess I was wrong, there are plenty of good reasons to hate Duke. Thanks Nokona for changing my way of thinking. Now I hate Duke too!
