Dick Vitale probably needs to get some sleep

Oh, poor Dickie V. Today just isn’t his day.

No, Dick, that’s a race car.
No, Dick, that’s a race car.
No, Dick, that’s a race car.

It seems that Dick Vitale may have finally succumbed to the dreaded March Madness that’s been going around. Following Selection Sunday’s bracket announcement, Dickie V. was brought on ESPN and asked his opinion on a few of the matchups. He got them a little mixed up! When his mistake was pointed out, Vitale sort of blanked and momentarily forgot he was on live television. Whoops!

Things we’re glad Dick Vitale didn’t do when he thought this wasn’t live:

- Challenge Hannah Storm to feats of strength

- Re-enact his favorite Jeff Dunham routines

- Demonstrate how he keeps Vaseline in his bellybutton

- Try to remember the lyrics to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”

- Unbutton his pants and fall asleep
