Vitale lost his left eye at a young age. Check this NYTimes article - I don't know where this fact should be added so I leave it to you... http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9806E2DA1439F937A15750C0A960958260 65.28.8.224 (talk) 18:55, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Broadcasting
The NBA game in January 2009 is NOT the first Vitale's done with ESPN. In their early history, he did both pro and college games. See Miami Herald article at http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/barry-jackson/v-fullstory/story/834390.html. Zigwithbag (talk) 01:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Missing 'Bias' section
I was directed here from the Criticism of ESPN article, which reference's Vitale's alleged bias towards Duke and/or the ACC. However there is no mention of that here, despite the existence of a cited quote by a head coach referencing the bias. I'm going to add the section, and borrow from the criticism article, unless anyone can tell me why that section isn't present.

 * This is now a Scott The Woz page. But it's awesome, baby!  O.N.R.  (talk) 19:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Is Scott the Woz's video on Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby" College Hoops notable enough to get mentioned in the article?
I believe that it is, and something should be added to the "Video games" subsection of "Appearances in other media" about it. What does everyone else think? (link to the video) SebastianTalk - 03:47, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
