Dan Patrick's "big announcement"

[hondo]

Dan Patrick is almost unlistenable except for when KO is on the show.

funny...I was thinking the opposite.

... and I think DP's quite listenable all the time.

Anything but Scott getting a ESPN Radio gig.

 

[StormSurge]

If he stays, I hope he absorbs the SportsBash timeslot.

Patrick, whiney name dropper? Yes. But I'd rather listen to eight hours of DP than a single minute of the insufferable, innings-eating boner known as John Seibel. Christ, he's horrific. ****ing horrific.

Amen to that.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I like his radio show... It's hardly ground-breaking or on the level of TK's old ESPN show, but he gets good guests and is better than just about every other sports show out there... Rome is probably consistently better, but there aren't many...

 

[Inky_Wretch]

At one point, KO said something about the announcement affecting Patrick's life but not his nor the listeners' lives. That makes me think the change won't affect The Big Show hour of DP's radio program.

I heard something about him possible hosting TPIR as well.

Wow. I know he'd be good at it and I know it would be a ****load of money, but wow...

He would not be good at it. TPIR is average-joe land and he's too attached to being "Dan Patrick" and on a first-name basis with a ton of athletes and beautiful people. He wouldn't give a flying crap about Ethel from Iowa playing Plinko.

I assuming it's something lame along these lines: "I'm throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the all-star game."
"I am the new manager of the Reds."....you know, things no one cares about.

I doubt he's the new TPIR host. Seriously as much ado as been made about this, do you think CBS would allow him to make that announcement on his show? Heck, CBS is probably planning a 2-hour reality-tv type primetime special on the naming on new host. If there's a way to make it reality TV, TV execs will get it done.
I'd explain further, but it's time to watch the crab catching show.

Maybe he'll do us all a favor and announce his retirement and never be heard from again
He has become a bigger pompous ass then Berman.

 

[21]

Maybe he's taking Bud Collins' job.

 

[D-3 Fan]

I'm going along the lines of spnited's op/ed: if he calls it a radio career, I can live with that. If Olbermann does another hour, it's listenable.

I'll go on a limb: he could be heading back to SC.

Whatever happened to Phil the Show Killer? He was the only guy that was worth hearing about on DP's show.

 

[SoSueMe]

Rob Dibble's back?

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Please let it be something about Olbermann. Please. SportsCenter needs him. I know that won't be it, but I can hope. I would love to be able to watch SportsCenter again instead of ESPNNews.

The return of The Big Show would be excellent. Shame KO and ESPN are worse than gasoline fumes and fire ...

But dreaming about the way it used to be isn't always bad ... is it?

That's my hope....Maybe the announcement also includes that KO is retiring, too, meaning the two of them will leave us all alone. We can only hope.

Unpossible. He is the standard all others are measured against.

 

[zagoshe]

Maybe he'll make most of us very happy by saying he and Berman and Keith Oberman and DJ Stuey Scott are all being paid $5 billion to start a new all-sports network........on MARS!!!!

 

[westcoastvol]

He's gonna announce that you can get your choice of items from TGI Friday's Jack Daniels' Grill starting at only $9.99.

Sorry to ruin it for you.

I think Dan Patrick's recognizability factor among the masses is being overrated. If you asked most of the people who watch TPIR, or anyone for that matter, who doesn't follow sports this question "Do you know Dan Patrick?" the response would be "Who the hell is Dan Patrick?" Outside of sportsheads, I really doubt most of America knows or cares who Dan Patrick is, which is why he won't be hosting any game shows unless they're on ESPN.

 

[SoSueMe]

Will he announce he's got a part in a movie? I know he was pining to be in Old School 2 after Kilbourne got a roll in the first one.
