ESPN’s Dick Vitale announces melanoma diagnosis, will begin treatment soon

"I'm four-for-four, and I'm fully confident I'm going to make it five-for-five."

"Each time I go for any kind of test I am a nervous wreck."

"I had been trying to do that for like 13, 14 years, and TNT and ESPN had blocked it."

"I do think there's a chance that accuracy in reporting has taken a massive, massive, massive, insane hit."

Sometimes these dream scenarios are better in our minds than they are in real life...

"I think in $22 million, they could have put together a better roster than they did."

"Being in an arena and being with guys like you, who love the game, is just the greatest high I can get."

"I don't care what his fat ass says, we giving you $200,000."

Dickie V will team up with Charles Barkley Indiana-Kentucky on Dec. 13 and a First Four matchup in March on TruTV.

"Coach K, his words bring me here to tears."

Vitale reportedly even approached longtime ESPN executive George Bodenheimer in hopes of regaining the gig.

The epic baseball scene featured cameos from Curt Gowdy, Dick Enberg, Jim Palmer, Mel Allen, Tim McCarver, Dick Vitale, and Dr. Joyce Brothers.

“I feel strongly that various players don’t give Caitlin Clark the respect she deserves."

"U can’t be serious all you baseball wackos blaming me for Nick Martinez losing his no hitter"

Dick Vitale signs an extension with ESPN through the 2027-28 season and gets a new annual college basketball event in his honor.

"He said the four words you love to hear. You are cancer-free, baby!"

"That really is special."

"You worked on that all day."

"It's been unbelievable. A tough three years, those four cancer battles that I don't wish on anybody. Cancer sucks."

"This conference, for years, was the best. And I'm telling you right now, it has taken a real hit."

Head coach Rick Barnes presented the beloved announcer with a $10,000 check.

Saturday marked the first day of March, and that saw plenty of madness in college basketball. Some came...

"I think I have a better chance of being the SEXIEST man in television baby!"

"It means even more when you've got Dickie V on his return, back in the building."
