Dickie said Jordy was unfair in his assessment of Vitale's call of the game. Dickie said he spoke very positive of LSU and the program all game.

One of the social media guys for the show clipped that rant and put it on twitter, and tagged Dickie V.


Got a link? I cant seem to find the clip.

I watched the game in 'above the rim' mode, just to avoid having to hear this type of crap from the Dick.

Glad it struck a nerve with Vitale. His comments during the game were over the line.

Also, did any of the 104.5 shows say a word about this yesterday or did Gordy silence them?

Don’t know, everytime I turned on the radio they were talking Drew Brees. I immediately changed the channel.

LSU is in the NCAAT, just played in one of the most exciting SECT finals in recent years, and they want to spend all day talking about a player who we’ve all known was retiring for a long time now. Talk Brees when nothing else is going on. LSU basketball needs the spotlight.

A legend of the game that made his career in the local market retiring is huge news If you didn't expect that to be the main story yesterday, not sure what to tell you.

LSU was still covered plenty, and will be the story for the rest of the week. It would be irresponsible for a sports media station to not majorly cover someone like Brees retiring for one day.

They covered Drew Brees, I didn’t listen. I’m sure they will survive without my listening yesterday.

Us! Ya know...the LSU fans that actually want to see this program continue to succeed. We don’t need or want Dickie V influence layers’ decisions. And what he did has good potential to do that. He negatively recruited LSU basketball on live TV wile we were playing in a conference championship game.

Thanks for posting the clips. Jordy couldn't be anymore correct here.

To be completely fair to Dick, he was highly complimentary of Trendon Watford, but with the game Watford was having there was basically no option.

I didn't like it but I can't fault ESPN and Vitale for bringing up the Wade stuff at least a little bit, as it is still an unsettled issue. As Cam Newton famously said, (*smile*) "It's an ongoing investigation."

The major issue I have, and the thing that was completely over the top and unacceptable for the broadcast, was Vitale openly telling prospective students (not just athletes) to consider and think twice before going to LSU. That is dipping his toes in some potential litigation, as far as I'm concerned.

It was a story in 2019, not in 2021. There is no new news on this matter, and hasn't been for a long while.

Bingo. Karl Ravech told recruits they need to think twice before signing with LSU.

THAT IS 100% UNPROFESSIONAL!

Dickhead should be labeled a "racist". He picks on teams with all Black scholarship players while ignoring the blue bloods who usually have a few White players.
