Dan Patrick opens up about health issues

[MTM]

No matter what you think about Patrick and his show, this is very open and heartfelt from a sports talk host.

Dan Patrick opens up about his struggles with joint pain, depression, and memory loss

 

[MileHigh]

It was. Watch/listen to the show every day, am a big fan. Hope he gets better.

 

[Monday Morning Sportswriter]

I’m always a few hours behind but thanks for the warning. I’ll be listening attentively.

I’ve noticed he lately has occasionally repeated himself or mixed up facts or forgotten things all together. Nothing horribly unusual, I do it the same, but I was aware of it more than I am with, say, Kornheiser or others I listen to daily.

Wishing him well. Even if he’s background noise sometimes, he’s been part of my routine for 15 years.

Early part of Hour 2.

Ugh. Patrick has typically been one of the sane, normal guys in this format. All the best.

The clip is part of the posted link if you don't want to wait.

Early part of Hour 2.

Started playing just after I typed it. It went silent for a couple of seconds. I thought my signal conked out. It was Dan choking up. Lovely job, DP.

Will the memory loss end when he's done with the chemo?

 

[DanOregon]

I was actually glad to see the move to the bigger space, I figured the show had maybe a year or two left.

My brother and I listen everyday. We'll text funny lines as we hear them and we know what we're talking about.

He signed a three-year deal for the show a year ago. Going to the bigger space I think shows he's going to be around for more than just the two years left on his contract.

But it certainly clears up why he left Football Night in America, or at least didn't want to sign a five-year deal to stay on as NBC wanted him to.

Again, for me, it's a must-listen every day. Sane, rational, no-nonsense, spreads the boundaries. A very good listen.

I haven't listened to him in a long time, but holy hell, this could quite possibly help my sister-in-law. Everything he describes with the rheumatoid arthritis is what she's going through. She's currently on prednisone, which can make her unbearable at times. I've already forwarded this clip to my wife in hopes maybe my SIL can bring it up with her doctors.

Thanks to DP for opening up about it, and thanks to MTM for posting it here, or I would not have heard it

A bit more:

Dan Patrick’s new game plan in fight against illness includes alternative medicines

 

[da man]

As he likes to say, we're all day-to-day. Hope he fights through it.

Paul Pabst had one of the funniest lines I've heard on radio in a while today. They're doing a bit on it being Phoebe Cates birthday, Patrick says she'll always be remembered for "that scene" and goes on to say "You know who else auditioned for the role of Brad?"
Pabst says - "All of us."

Prednisone is powerful but the side effects can be awful. RA is nasty stuff.

My sister was on prednisone, but only for a few weeks because it’s extremely addictive.

I was driving when he said it and burst out laughing.

Was given it after a procedure about a decade ago. Had two of them. Absolutely hated it and how I felt. Dropped all of the rest of the pills and flushed them.

Me too. Here it is

Great ****ing line.
