MIKE VACCARO

Mike Vaccaro is the best sports columnist in America. He doesn't make up stories like Mitch Albom and he can kick the crap out of Mike Lupica. Read Mike in the NY Post. (Inducted April 2005) "Bill, It is with a humble heart and a now-empty checkbook that I gratefully accept this honor. I always believed, from the moment we made our sacred pilgrimage to the Palestra together that you, like me, were a man of indisputable taste. Now, of course, bestowing me with this honor, I must re-evaluate. But not before thanking you from the bottom of my heart. By the way, is there a free buffet on induction day? All kidding aside (assuming I was kidding), it's wonderful to be a part of a show that thinks of the sports fan first and foremost. I can't tell you how big a void there is elsewhere. Keep up the great work. And remember: As bad as life may seem sometimes, at least you aren't coaching the Army basketball team." - Vaccaro
