Beloved ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale has been back on the airwaves and better than ever this college basketball season after nearly a year away from a microphone due to a public battle with cancer.
While the 83-year-old is always excited around the time of the men’s NCAA tournament, he’s also had the chance to reflect before this year’s Big Dance on his experiences during his time away from the court, where he revealed he had some “dark moments.”
“It’s just a great feeling,” Vitale said of his return to broadcasting, per USA Today Sports, “because I’m telling you, there were some dark, dark moments, man.”
