[edit] Blind in One Eye

The referenced source said that whether Vitale "functions well" with one eye was debatable, not whether or not he is actually blind in one eye. Vitale even wrote a book entitled "Vitale: Just Your Average Bald, One-Eyed Basketball Wacko Who Beat the Ziggy and Became a Ptp'Er," which makes me feel pretty confident that there isn't actually any debate as to whether he is blind in one eye. aww 01:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Probably explains why he loves Duke so much,... if he can't see how much they really suck,... ;-) 68.110.114.118 23:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
