Those JoeChats really inspired me when I covered them. I can't help but wonder if these analysts are really doing these chats. Vitale does sound a lot like Morgan. Vitale isn't as bad as Morgan was or else I would do these more often. <br /><br />Justin, I wonder how ESPN does the chats because it does sound like the same guy who wrote the Joe Morgan chats as well. There must be someone typing it b/c the answers don't translate well. Even more importantly, neither Dick/Joe gives an answer to the question. They just sort of write a sentence that means nothing in response to a direct question. <br /><br />I think Joe answered the questions in some form, but I know he didn't write the answers to the questions. The chatmaster or whatever he is called did that. I am betting the chats are 50% Dick/Joe and 50% chatmaster.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-6268474424789003642012-01-18T07:12:34.332-05:002012-01-18T07:12:34.332-05:00It's obviously the same guy that typed all of ...It's obviously the same guy that typed all of Joe Morgan's chat answers. Even the stilted sentence structure, which makes Joe/Dick sound like English is not his first language but he's worked very hard to master it as his second, is the same.<br /><br />I went back and forth for years on whether Joe (now Dick) was actually there dictating his answers or if he just approved of someone who knows him to answer chat questions at his behalf.Justin Zethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960963276563539839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-4737604806995311362012-01-17T17:30:31.926-05:002012-01-17T17:30:31.926-05:00Loved the FJM reference.
