Mason High School's own Dan Patrick left ESPN nine months ago in hopes of enjoying some of his own success after doing SportsCenter and his eponymous midday radio show. Turns out that leaving the biggest sports media conglomerate wasn't such a wise move, was it, Sports by Brooks?
The clearance in Miami on the small, scratchy-signaled station though means that after six months on the air, Patrick’s show is now cleared live on a grand total of three major market (Top 25) stations. And really only one of those is a legitimate outlet (KLAC-AM in Los Angeles). The other two stations in Minneapolis and St. Louis are small, flanker sports stations. The show can also be heard live in Salt Lake City and San Antonio.
Patrick's radio show pretty much went to shit after he got rid of Rob Dibble, who himself got annoying in his attempts to convince everyone that steroids wouldn't help a baseball player. Maybe some more stoic black-and-white photographs will win some of those markets over. Who would have thought that a 50-year-old white guy from Ohio with no personality would make for bad radio?

We get a tape-delayed version of it in San Diego… but it's a call-in show. Reminds me of this genius Mr. Show sketch:

The show can also be heard live in Salt Lake City…
I hear he's a big hit in Utah. But then, so is fucking your sister.
how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black….
what does eponymous mean? Is that like flaccid?
But that picture shows his playful side! Love him, America!!!
perhaps broadcasting from L.A. so that the exact moment when you go on air, is the exact moment that 170 million east coast commuters are getting out of their car & turning off the radio, maybe that wasnt the best business model
Am I the only one just seeing a big black square were the picture goes?
@YAM: I'm not seeing any issue on my end.
@YAM:
I'm seeing a big white has-been.
no yamabushi, but I am seeing a big white square (with a tie on)
What about Butch Patrick?
For once the filters at work are on my side.
Dan, can you get the tie a little higher? There you go. Right over that roofbeam. Perfect.
@MKF, Mr. Show easily one of the funniest shows ever.
Pretty sure his show still airs on 980 here in DC. And that it sucks.
Dan Patrick is what Bill Simmons sees when he looks into the future.
I think he is on in Central NY (Syarcuse, Utica).

That hack couldn't carry my jock. The buzz around the FOXSPORTS water cooler is that Patrick, Gammons and Wingo were involved in a steamy menage-a-trois that ended ugly.
He really shouldn't be taking career advice from Craig Kilbourn.
We get that annoying fuck here in Richmond on Sports Radio 910, right before Jim Rome, who is also an annoying fuck. Give me George Michael and the Sports Machine!
What about Butch Patrick?
No worries. He's still doing the NFL draft analysis for ESPN.
I had the same thought, Allan Stokke.
Pretty funny to look back at this article. I’d Dan Patrick is doing extremely well with his radio show, Sunday Night Football on NBC hosting, and of course his appearances in Adam Sandler movies. Whomever wrote this was way, way, wrong.
