Considering he's having trouble getting his radio show syndicated, he might work cheaper than you'd think.

He may, but he also has the SI deal. Is he getting megabucks from that? Probably not, but he's not going broke, either.

Don't forget his shilling for TGI Friday's, or did that run out, too?

No, you assface.

Their reunion was too late when they regrouped five years after Inside Information!

This feels like a reunion that happened 10 years too late.

They're going to get back together and people are going to realize their memories of the duo are far better than actually seeing them up on stage, straining to hit the high notes. So to speak.

They were still pretty good together on Patrick's radio show.

Now, they just need to get Kilborn and Steiner...

Kinda like "Seems Like Old Times" with Chevy and Goldie

"Hear No Evil, See No Evil" with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder

and "Cosby" with Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad, only they were poor and lived in Queens instead of rich and living in Brooklyn.

Yep. Dan Patrick has also wasted a load of good will by being a part of the dumbing down of SportsCenter as well as his dumb ass radio show.

Whatever. Joe Football Fan (me included) is already watching; a chimp could do the highlights for all I care.

I think Patrick way oversold himself as a brand. The radio show isn't special and the SI page is dreadful. Maybe two minutes with Olbermann will be the best thing he does all week.

The SI page makes the radio seem like Dan invented the format.

Every time I read Patrick, I think how much I miss Rushin, who had lost his way for a while, but on his worst day was lightyears better than this. I checked his blod lately & found this:

Noosepaper
June 26th, 2008
This morning’s newspaper carried a front-page story about itself: The incredible shrinking daily will soon shed another 25 percent of its pages, causing me to think about what I’ll miss most when it inevitably disappears altogether.

To be sure, I’ll miss racing my daughter down the driveway to retrieve the paper – or more often, racing her to the shrubs near the driveway and picking the paper off a bush as if it were some exotic, low-hanging fruit.

I’ll miss the delivery person, who shoots a left-handed hook shot over her car roof to get the paper vaguely near the driveway. I know the feeling. Whoever said “Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades” never had a paper route.

I’ll miss the plastic hang bag that my newspaper arrives in. My father-in-law uses the bags for disposing of coffee grounds, but I prefer to load them with rolled diapers, like sausages into a casing.

I’ll miss reading the newspaper, starting with Sports and moving to Arts and eventually to the front section, devouring the paper from the inside out like a termite or tapeworm. Business, Food, Style and the like will be set aside for the kids as a finger painting dropcloth.

The daily newspaper remains one of the best weapons we have against ignorance. But it is also the single finest non-lethal weapon we have against houseflies, stunning them without staining the wallpaper. And I’ll miss that when it’s gone.

Mostly, though, I’ll miss spreading the Sports section to its fullest dimensions on the kitchen table, like Patton with a map of North Africa, and then putting my cereal bowl in the center of it to anchor everything down. I’ll miss spilling soggy Cheerios on its inside pages until Big Papi’s face turns translucent with Skim milk.

Forget “All The News That’s Fit to Print.” The slogan I’d like to see on a paper is “The Placemat You Can Read.”

Not bad.

Guy, you're right. I liked that. Rushin has his moments.

Completely, utterly, exactly. He just said it better than I ever could...Although, at least they'll still have Patrick when Olbermann throws a fit a year from now and gets fired. Maybe NBC just took out an insurance policy.

Either that or Costas is in his walk year...
