Upside Hotel

The only man on Earth who would fly from LA to Boston just to watch the NBA draft with his dad, Bill Simmons contributes his annual NBA draft diary column. He watched it with his father and some buddies in a Ritz Carlton hotel suite- certain grist for the “Sports Guy sold out” people- and comes up with some hilarious stuff, even though nothing of note at all happened in the draft.

He did point out one hilarious thing that I noticed:

Yet another classic moment: Vitale was zoning out, not realizing he was on camera until somebody alerted him, so he jolted upright and transformed into his "Dickie V." persona in about 0.0000003 seconds. That was amazing. Somebody must have accidentally unplugged him.

What, Vitale couldn’t fly in to cover the draft? It’s not like he has anything else to do, in the middle of the eight-month college offseason.
