ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale announced on Monday that he has been diagnosed with lymphoma.

In a statement, Vitale said he plans to treat the cancer with steroids and six months of chemotherapy.

Thoughts and Prayers from Southern Arizona?

I suspect NOT.
Has everybody heard about the bird?

This is far beyond the basketball court, or opinions about broadcasting styles.

Mr. Vitale is a national treasure for the amount of effort he puts into making things easier for kids with cancer.

Aw crap. His broadcasting style always gives me a chuckle. The big C just claimed another great voice, Ray Fosse, which I mentioned elsewhere. I might start prepping bags of freeze-dried enthusiasm as soon it may be in short supply. Get Bill Walton on line one.

Don't know nothing about the beef with Southern Arizona.

To date, Vitale has raised $37 million for the pediatric cancer fund in his name at the V Foundation.

It wasn't mentioned in the article, but the V Foundation is named after Jimmy Valvano, not Dicky Vitale, who championed it from day one. When they launched it on ESPN, they stole one of my songs. Which triggered a big legal dispute. Which I settled out of court. It meant something to me at the time. It was a pretty good song. Here's to good times.
