Not so awesome, baby
Dick Vitale will be out of commission until at least February due to surgery on his vocal chords.
Hmm... I'm going to bet on February 6 as his first day back. Why? It's the first Duke-UNC game of the year.

Oh no! What will the Dick Vitale stream of consciousness bloggers do without their inspiration? Get better soon Mr. Vitale!!!

I hope he is back by then. That's a nasty surgery and it comes with the risk of so many complications. My sil had a vocal chord surgery done. Fortunately, she's fine, though it took her a long time to be able to sing again.
Good luck, Mr. Vitale!

Vitale having surgery on his vocal cords? Does that mean he'll wind up sounding more annoying, or less?
In all fairness, though, good luck Mr. Vitale, and get well soon, baby!

I had the opportunity to sit next to Dicky V at a Drays vs. Yankees game last year and the guy is a class act. Probably like most people we see on t.v. a lot of his antics are simply "for show." He's a great ambassador for basketball and raises millions for not only cancer research, but for a lot of charities in the Bay area as well.
Get well...Baby!!!
