Hold the Pulitzer - New Vitale Book

ESPN's human bullhorn was at breakfast this morning on Siesta Key discussing his latest book, a retrospective on his career at ESPN and the Top 50 college players he has seen during that time. Promising to have all of the creativity of a Larry King's dot dot dot column, the book which could be finished by lunch presuming Vitale started it this morning has all of the complexity of a Page 2 column on espn.com. The book is particularly narcissistic since the book will only players during Vitale's tenure at ESPN.

Technically, I don't feel like I was eavesdropping since I was sitting in my car 20 feet away with the windows up. Seriously, five more feet and he would be in violation of Sarasota's new loud stereo law. That's a bit nitpicking but so close to the water, you have to be concerned about his voice's effect on the fertility of sea turtle eggs.
