...arse again.
Exhibit A: Vitale says he is <a href="http://espn.go.com/dickvitale/vcolumn020619dunleavy-goingpro.html" target="_blank">"stunned and shocked"</a> by Dunleavy's decision to stay in the draft. The decision "broke his heart." He goes on to say:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">In many cases, kids lose the greatest years of their lives by leaving college early. My friends, there is nothing like being a college student -- nothing like being part of a special environment, maturing, learning and gaining experiences that you can't get back. Players can perform in the NBA and earn plenty of cash for years to come.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This was written June 19.
Exhibit B: Vitale says Dunleavy <a href="http://espn.go.com/dickvitale/vcolumn020627ShouldHaveListenedTeam.html" target="_blank">"consulted wise counselors and made a smart decision to leave early"</a> (scroll down to the bottom). This was on June 27.
Usually I will give the guy a break with all the crap that people give him, but he is sounding more and more like a dook fan and less like an announcer. If ABC/ESPN want to keep any kind of partiality, they need to tone him down or pull the plug....
