ESPN’s Dick Vitale is known for his unbounded enthusiasm about college hoops, but he’s also very excited about music, live-tweeting concerts from artists from Billy Joel to Barry Manilow to Elton John to Lionel Richie to Rod Stewart. In a surprising move, though, his next target appears to be…Justin Timberlake? Here’s a tweet Vitale sent Thursday night:
“PTPer” is “prime-time player,” from ESPN’s official Dick Vitale glossary, “V-Speak.” Timberlake was apparently very impressed:

And Vitale responded:
No response to that one yet, but hopefully we’ll get to see Vitale live-tweet one of Timberlake’s concerts. Maybe he can even help Justin bring sexy back. The world needs that.
