Few many loose their mind like Dick Vitale, but one man that is up there is Gol TV commentator Ray Hudson. The similarities between the two are prices less. Both were former coaches that lost their jobs, Vitale with the Detroit Pistons and Hudson with DC United and Miami Fusion of Major League Soccer.
Both have a strange man crush on a player. Vitale has his world know crush on the former Duke poster boy and GLAAD member JJ Redick, while Hudson has a crush on Boca Junior midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme.
"Genius, genius, genius. Absolutely superb strike. And look, not a smile! What makes this guy smile? I mean, come on, Roman, give us a look, give us a smile, baby. I mean, is there anything more exquisite in life than watching this man play football? Look at this! Perfection. [...] That is an orgasmic goal, Phil. We said he treats them like penalties -- that's what he does. Enjoy him while you can, enjoy him at the World Cup next year when he's wearing that beautiful blue and white's World Cup shirt for Argentina. The man is magic," Hudson say about the playmaker
Both have been know to go crazy at different times. Vitale going nuts here. Hudson loosing his mind at the end of the Spanish League not once but twice.
Ray Hudson once told Sports Illustrated:
ReplyDelete"I wasn't interested in college basketball until I listened to Dick Vitale. My girlfriend told me this was the guy I should watch. He isn't an X's and O's guy. He is exciting. He elevates the game, brings it to a higher level because of his pandemonium. I only watch college basketball when Dick Vitale is doing the game."
