This one should be fun (Vitale)

Mark those calendars fellas



Job swapping. ESPN will announce today that for a Jan. 7 basketball doubleheader, its on-air crews will swap roles. NBA announcers Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and Mike Tirico will call Duke-Davidson, followed by Dick Vitale — who called ESPN NBA games in the early 1980s — and Dan Shulman on a Denver Nuggets-Miami Heat NBA game. ESPN executive Norby Williamson says it's "a natural progression to make connections between college and the NBA. We try to cultivate basketball fans." So, can we expect more on-air swaps? "We never say no to anything," he says.

Oh Gawd, he'd be all over Kobe's/K.G.'s nuts. But I guess pretty much everyone already does that anyways

I like the idea of this.. kind of like when Charles/Kenny/Ernie do a game.. a nice change of pace just please don't do it too often.

Make it a one time thing and that's it.

Thank God that doesn't involve the Cavs. Dickie V is the most annoying announcer on the planet.

Come on guys, this is the pinnacle of ESPN entertainment

Just think about it, have Mike Tirico or someone soft spoken as the middle man between these two commentators
