Until tonight, I had not heard him in a long time. I wasn't even sure it was him. He sounded bad. But I know he's like 200 years old.

Pretty sure he's been battling lymphoma...

which is why he stepped away from broadcasting the entire 2022 season.

Agreed. I've always found him incredibly annoying and never understood the appeal, other than the enthusiasm, maybe? Kind of like a louder, faster, more annoying Howard Cosell.

I'm thankful Vitale is still around. He's been battling cancer for a while.

I'm sorry he has cancer...

Beyond that, he's an opportunist now riding Valvano's coattails from thirty years ago, all for sympathy. Having met him, he's a rude, miserable jerk, unless there's a camera, not to be bothered by 'common folk'. First and second impressions matter...he flunked both without difficulty. Ted Turner, on the other hand...polar opposite...just for comparison's sake.
And he ruins a basketball game. My take...alone.

I cannot do it. I have to mute the volume if it is a game I really want to watch, or just change the channel. His antics are like finger nails down a chalkboard to me.
