So how did you spend your Tuesday? Dick Vitale visited the set of HBO’s Ballers and made sure plenty of his fans knew about it, posting photos on Instagram and even streamed the occasion on Periscope for people to watch. Vitale even told us himself.
Hey, wouldn’t you want all your family, friends and followers to see if you meant Dwayne Johnson in person? (If you’re pressed for time, Dickie V meets The Rock, dressed in his finest Spencer Strasmore wardrobe, at the 5:30 mark on that Periscope video. That’s when everybody stops paying attention to the coach, dazzled by the shining star that is Dwayne Johnson.)
“Always be good to people and people will always be good to you” is indeed good advice that everyone should follow. But does that apply to cropping people out of your photo so everyone just sees you and The Rock? Just curious.

We kid! To be fair, maybe that other dude was trying to photobomb Dickie V’s moment with The Rock. Wouldn’t the rest of us crop that guy out too? Everyone should have his or her own time with Dwayne Johnson if it’s at all possible. Vitale gets to visit the set of Ballers. The rest of us probably have to hope we run into Johnson at a gym somewhere and immediately feel physically inferior to his feats of strength.
Meanwhile, is it too much to ask that Johnson invited Vitale to be in the next Fast and Furious movie? Dickie V riding shotgun in one of those cars would be worth the price of admission. If not, maybe we can hope for a cameo in another upcoming Johnson film, Baywatch.
