Dick Vitale

And Chad Henney The young man from Pennsylvania, what a start he is off to.

We'll steal a phrase from Dick Vitale, and without a shadow of a doubt, he's a diaper dandy.

But so too is Hart, as we take a look at the outback, backs and receivers.

And folks, they got a guy over there, Braylon Edwards, the leader in the clubhouse as far as the Politnikoff Award is concerned.

I mean, he did it all.

I remember in the days of the great Dick Vitale when he was watching, I believe, at the McDonald's All-American game and Shaq goes coast to coast.

He's like,

that's a seven-footer.

And it's.

let's put it this way, very excited for conference play to start after, as Dick Vitale might call it, Cupcake City for so many different organizations, Josh, right?

I was reading, I think it was Scott Dauterman's work this morning about how radically different next year will look because Week zero doesn't exist anymore.

So like week one becomes what week zero was.

It's, like, Bears players, I guess.

Dick, Dick Vitale, Dick Butkus.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I see it now.

They want to be able to bounce back, especially Kamari Laster, after he had what would have been the game-winning interception in the end zone, and he's not able to come down with it.

Hey, what does Dickie V say? PTPs, baby, primetime players.

I think that Kamari Laster is a primetime player, and I liked the acquisition of Reed Blankenship.

Not a good first impression for him, but I think they see a bounce back this week.

But I, I think it's one of those things where it, it's transitioned a while.

When I first came into ESPN, it's like, "Who do I want to be like on TV? Do I wanna be Jay Bilas? Do I wanna be Dick Vitale? Do I wanna be Kirk Herbstreit?" Um, and I think it takes a lot of iterations of yourself to feel comfortable being yourself, and I think that's one of the things that I appreciate about Pat, and Stephen A.

Like, you know, Stephen A. got, and I got into a real argument live on national TV about Kyrie Irving.

It was a real argument.

[laughs] I do remember a big moment in Lexington.

Do you remember the day that both Hillary Clinton and Dick Vitale-

... were signing books at the same time-

Yeah

Hillary was the First Lady at the time.

Yeah, I think she was.

And Dick Vitale was at his peak.
