    First, this man love himself some cheerleaders. Got to love his enthusiasm. Second, as my associate said, "good" dancing is largely due to commitment, and he definitely is committed.

    Well, the way I see it, Dickie V makes a lot of noise with the fans, but he never got two cheerleaders to dance with him (lol). Heck, good for him, even though as I was watching it, I have to admit I was thinking a voice would come up talking about "viagra" (lol)

Digger Phelps = A Wimpy Toolbag
Bruins Nation — We already knew Digger is a wimp: You can also call him an idiot. What we didn't know was how much of a toolbag he really is: There is not much else to say about Digger. Thanks to tsunugundum for pointing us to that video. Let's hope Digger keeps picking UCLA to lose in everyone of our game from here on out. GO BRUINS.

California Golden Blogs — This video is amazing. What makes it funnier is Bruins Nation's indignation. What is Digger thinking?

Hey Digger- Is That A Highlighter In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To Be Dancing With Cheerleaders?
Insomniac's Lounge — Last night, ESPN took their college gameday crew up to Berkeley, where Digger Phelps obviously indulged himself with some traditional Berkeley pregame tokes. Either that, or sharing a hotel with Erin Andrews creates such a testosterone overload that a man is driven to do crazy things. How else to explain these actions? ...

Digger Phelps Is A Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dancin' Machine!
AwfulAnnouncing — We've known for some time, that Digger Phelps is an interesting character, but I think this video from Bruins Nation makes him officially a wack job. Here is Digger breaking it down before the UCLA-CAL game yesterday.... Interesting technique to say the least. I'm pretty sure "Dancing With The Stars" won't be beating down his door to give him a spot next season. Digger Phelps A Wimpy Tool (Bruins Nation) ...

Digger Phelps Cuts a Rug
The Sporting Blog — Some videos need little more than a sentence of description. This is one such video (via Bruins Nation by way of Deadspin), a clip of Digger Phelps dancing the night away in Berkeley with two Cal cheerleaders. ...

Digger Phelps Bumps, Grinds and Jives
FanHouse — by Will Brinson Filed under: California, UCLA, Pac-10, NCAA Basketball Campus, NCAA Basketball Fans, NCAA Basketball Media Watch, NCAA Basketball VideoDigger Phelps is one of ESPN's most colorful characters. I mean that literally, too: the guy matches his highlighters to his ties. Which, all ridiculousness aside, seems like it would be really difficult to manage in terms of "long term dress code." Well, Digger only added to his colorful notoriety Saturday night, when he got down with some Cal cheerleaders during a timeout. On the bright side, at least he wasn't ...

Digger Phelps Would Be Cool if He Wasn’t So Terrible
Brahsome - Care To Get Nice? — Actually, if Digger wasn’t such a blatant Notre Dame homer (give up on this year already, man!) and if he didn’t rock tie-highligher combos, I’d probably be fine with him.

Today's Moment of Zen: Digger Phelps Dance Party
Outside the Boxscore — In today's edition of the moment of Zen, ESPN college basketball analyst Digger Phelps was recently captured on a Youtube video strutting his stuff with California cheerleaders. However most of us are treating this like it is the first time that it has happened. That is so wrong, there are many instances and here are the rest: Digger dancing at Wisconsin: Digger dancing at Notre Dame: and Digger dancing at ...

The Adventures of Jay and Digger: College Basketball’s Odd Couple
Midwest Sports Fans — I have been watching Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas provide commentary on college basketball for as long as I can remember. And the differences between the two have always been pretty obvious: Jay Bilas comes across as intelligent, thoughtful, and cogent; Digger Phelps comes across as (searching for a way to say this nicely…) not those things. Jay Bilas comes across as arrogant, with every word he speaks appearing to be the result of careful deliberation between his ego and pride; Digger Phelps is cool and laid back, the kind of guy you’d want to actually watch a game with, and he appears to ...

Phelps Refuses to Act His Age
The March to Madness — Digger Phelps was in another dancing mood Saturday, going at it with two California cheerleaders during halftime of the Golden Bears' game against UCLA. Thanks to Bruins Nation. This isn't the first time Phelps has hustled it up with cheerleaders. Check out his moves on a Kansas cheerleader last season. ...

Digger Phelps dances like nobody's watching
The Dagger — When watching ESPN Gameday, I've often wondered, "Does Digger Phelps really think that tielighter thing is cool?" I mean, we're years -- not months or days, but effing years -- into Digger's use of the tielighter as his on-screen flair. Not only has he not ditched the look, he's come up with ever newer and more inventive ways of pulling it off. It makes you wonder if Digger actually knows people can see him on the television screenie thing. And then I see this clip of Digger dancing at UCLA this weekend -- and yes, I will call that dancing, because it's roughly at my own skill level -- and ...

Digger Phelps Dances With Cal Cheerleaders During Cal Vs UCLA Game
FanIQ Blog — Dick Vitale's Hooters ads just reek of "creepy old man". Now, it's time to add Digger Phelps to the list of creepy ESPN college hoops analysts, after his rather lengthy stint dancing with a couple Cal cheerleaders. Digger was remarkably spry for a 67-year old man, but at the same time, dancing around that long with a couple 18-21 year old cheerleaders just started to get a little weird after a while. Am I the only one who got a little creeped out by this? Digger Phelps = A Wimpy Toolbag [Bruins Nation]

Video: Digger Phelps Has Some Moves
SLAM Online — Say what you will about Digger Phelps (Bruins Nation has a few choice words about the announcer), but the man can cut a decent rug at 67 years old. Craig Sager could take some lessons, and I’m sure they’d be able to talk ties for a while as well. >

NESW Sports, Sports Videos — Digger Phelps loves dancing with Cheerleaders, video. ESPN’s Digger Phelps is blowing up the internets with his seemingly harmless dance videos with playful college cheerleaders. These vids are EVERYWHERE. I say more power to him. He is trying to let loose a little. Hat tips to Outside the box score, and Bruin Nation.

Comcast SportsNet New England » Wicked Good Sports — I apologize for the shoddy video footage, but whatever strain this clip puts on your eyes will be supplemented 10-fold when the sound touches your ears. The above nine seconds occurred at the end of a SportsCenter segment with Digger Phelps and Sage Steele, where Digger, naturally, was making his picks for this afternoon’s games. At the very end, he asks Steele if she’d like to dance (we know how Phelps likes to dance) and when she says no, Digger has a… curious reaction. I guess a more accurate description would be "Digger makes the ...
