Short description	Many viewers are fooled by the compassion Dick shows during televised games. Dick is a womanizing grease-ball who announces baseball by day and pops champagne in hot tubs at night. With a plethora of scantily dressed young women parading around his hotel room, Dick will regularly take a puff from his favorite cuban and bark orders at his female guests. He saturates his palms with gel and greases his hair back tightly, while snarling at those who challenge his impeccable style. During the broadcasts, he has been known to put his hand over the microphone and humiliate Bert to tears. The terrorizing has gotten so far out of control that Lapanta now has a restraining order in progress
