Dan Patrick’s Big Announcement
Uncategorized July 2nd. 2007, 6:34pm
We’ve gotten a few emails about it, and we attempted to ignore them, but the chatter has moved from a drip to a steady stream, so let’s hear it. What’s his big announcement? We can’t remember the last time we listened to his show (hopefully, Olbermann was on). Nobody we’ve spoken with has any clue what it could be, but a reader says Patrick just mentioned, ‘the bloggers have been talking about it.’
Does this mean Danny boy landed the gig to replace Bob Barker on the Price is Right? Can’t imagine that’s the case. [Update: According to a listener, Patrick just said on the show he turned the Price is Right job down.] Is it Olbermann-related? Is he bringing Harold Reynolds on the show as a guest? Did Woody Paige give that makeup artist the clap? Is Patrick going to reveal that Screamin’ A. Smith is actually Satan’s spawn?
Feel free to drop your guesses here.

He’s included in the lawsuit against Woody “Mr. Vasectomy” Paige…he used to give Woody daily lapdances before Cold Pizza.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:40 pm
He’s going to announce that Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless formed to spawn Satan

Dan will announce that Keith is will be doing the show 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. While on Letterman last week, it wasn’t emphasized that Keith only does 1 hour a day. It was one of the few times Dan & Keith were interviewed together on TV since their sportscenter days…..All theories at this point.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:42 pm
He’s going to announce he’s caught the gay.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:51 pm
On today’s show Keith said it will change his (Patrick’s) life more than anyone’s. So I don’t think it has anything to do with Olbermann.
I honestly have no idea.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:59 pm
He’s announcing that he’ll be filing in for Perry Como at the Stardust.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:02 pm
He’s probably leaving radio to do some tv gig full time. Maybe he’ll be Olberman’s sidekick on MSNBC?
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:04 pm
His announcement is that he’s going to be even more SASSY.
SASSY!
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:06 pm
He’s going to take over the Daily Show and try to make it funny again.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:09 pm
In a huge spoiler, he’s going to announce the winner for ESPN Who’s Now? and ruin it for the tens of people who were interested.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:10 pm
The whole Letterman thing sounded like a goodbye tour. He even stepped aside to let Olberman take over the interview.
A retirement announcement would change his world more than anyones….
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:12 pm
That’s really funny toots!
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:16 pm
Dan (Pugh) Patrick, will, in fact, announce that he is more of a self -absorbed asshole than he comes across on the radio.
He will then go on to announce that he is having dinner that night with Reggie Miller.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:21 pm
He just bought Guitar Hero 2 and he wants everyone to know.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:22 pm
He’s announcing that he used Brylcreem all those years.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:24 pm
he will announce that john clayton is a hermaphrodite
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:24 pm
My bet is staying in the media but getting out of sports. Imus replacement type deal perhaps.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:30 pm
He’s going to say that he’s taking the rest of the week off.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:33 pm
He framed OJ.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:34 pm
He’s just saved a lot of money on his car insurance.[/4 years ago]
Also, benrand – SASSAAAYYYY!
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:37 pm
If the track record of the ESPN hype machine is any indication, it will be something entirely inconsequential. You know, right up there with Mike Greenberg milking a cow.
Or maybe it’s one of those “My Wish” segments and some kid’s last wish is to crush DP’s smug head with a Louisville Slugger.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:42 pm
His doctor said he doesn’t need surgery for his hemorroids.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Lemme know.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:52 pm
h8r – that’s great stuff.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:57 pm
He’s going to announce that he-and he alone-has been able to finally convince ABBA to reunite.
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:03 pm
I was listening on Friday, and he said he wasn’t doing the Price is Right way back then. So, that isn’t it. I say it’s a cage match with Jim Rome.
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:04 pm
He’s going to announce that he is marrying Schrutebag’s ex-wife and they are going to have a purse swinging fight for a lifetime supply of gay hair gel
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:16 pm
Patrick/Olbermann for Prez in ‘08 !
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:17 pm
ESPN traded him to the Lakers for Kobe
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:23 pm
He’s announcing that it’s not Brylcreem he’s been using all these years…
It’s Olberdouche’s nut shake that’s given him 24 hour, all-weather hold.
He’s also gonna keep on being…
SAAASSSAYYYY!!!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:31 pm
He switched to Geico.
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:32 pm
He’s going to announce that Jessica Alba eliminates Scarlett Johansson, but that he still pledges all his love to TBL…
And Josh McRoberts, Kimbo Slice, and the cast from ‘Lost.’
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:45 pm
He has a fever…and the only prescription is more cowbell.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:05 pm
In all seriousness, it’s going to be one of the following things:
(1) He’s going to either cut back the show to two hours, or give a date for stopping the show altogether.
or
(2) He’s negotiated a new contract with ESPN that with either being him back to SportsCenter or will give him his own program on the WWL (perhaps a simulcast of the Big Show?).
or
(3) He’s leaving ESPN altogether at the end of his current contract, and going to be a full time analyst with ABC.
And if it’s none of those…one last shot in the dark:
(4) He’s going to be a dad again, and was delaying the public announcement until he had time to inform all his family members.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:09 pm
I was thinking this was going to be a work-related announcement, but I’m thinking he’s going to be a dad.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:14 pm
An Irish guy fathering a(nother) kid? That’s about as unlikely of situation as I’ve ever heard.
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:13 pm
In a perfect world, it would be the return of Dibble. The show (as good as it sometimes is with KO) hasn’t been the same since he left.
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:34 pm
If it follows the course of Mike and Mike, and the Herd, Dan Patrick will announce that listeners will not be able to watch his show via webcam on this page on espnradio.com
Cowherd spent a good time teasing everyone with his big announcement and it was the same thing. IMO, it is only logical that DP get his webcam and, in true DP form, make it out to be something so big, all about him.
Now, what I really hope it is is that he and KO will be reuniting for the Big Show on SportsCenter, one night a week. That would bring back some good memories
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Remember that ’90s MTV cartoon Daria?? Remember her imbecilic father on the show?? Dan Patrick looks just like him.
July 2nd, 2007 at 11:10 pm
“Dan (Pugh) Patrick, will, in fact, announce that he is more of a self -absorbed asshole than he comes across on the radio.”
That’s can’t be possible; can it???
I’m thinking he’s either going to the dentist after the show to get Tom Brady’s pubes removed…
July 3rd, 2007 at 12:41 am
He already puts everybody into a coma, so who gives a rat’s ass?
July 3rd, 2007 at 3:31 am
someone already beat me to the Dibble guess. I also agree, the show was better with Dibble on it. Does anyone know if that roomer about Dibble getting fired because of punching Stu Scott is it? God, I hope so…
July 3rd, 2007 at 1:04 pm
I agree with the WEB CAM…it only makes cents
July 3rd, 2007 at 4:35 pm
He IS Danica Patrick.
July 3rd, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Well what was it?
July 3rd, 2007 at 7:07 pm
He’ll continue to do something where you can’t see the back of his head due to the bald spot. Therefore, The Price is Right is definitely out. Patrick must be facing the camera at all times.
July 3rd, 2007 at 9:51 pm
He wasn’t on today, but Bobby Valvano said the announcement would come later this week. Sports at Random is saying that he’s going to try and syndicate his own show, ala Jim Rome, and they’re sticking by their source…
July 4th, 2007 at 12:19 am
How big can it be if he wasn’t even on the day the “BIG” announcement was supposed to happen. I tuned in, listened & heard Valvano, & thought “yup, the ESPN Hype machine is at it again”. Not gonna waste the time.
July 4th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
If you go to the DP homepage the are showing Obermn’s farewell….
July 4th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
****** bottom line. Dan Patrick is one of the more entertaining sports personalities out there. He’s extremely knowledgable, especially in regards to the NBA (the league with the most naturally gifted athletes in team sports today) and baseball. Patrick is a fair and objective radio host and arguably has one of the best shows going. He’s factual and fair, and I can respect that. Great job, DP.
July 5th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
Let’s hope it’s Keith returning full-time
July 6th, 2007 at 6:45 pm
Agreed, more KO and less soloing DP would make the show 100 times better. A dibble return would also help.
DP is good at what he does, but better with another person.
If some of you are correct, and this is pointless news on top of the ESPN hype machine… ME -> changing the station.
July 6th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
Sean Salisbury was better than Dibble, IMO. BIG annoucement is probably the webcame bit. I think Dan is great, would love to hang out with him at Hooters.
July 9th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
WOW, Shocking News!!! NOT… had to have Keith there to hold his hand. Take the other has been, Berman, and never was, Stuart Scott, with you.

Is leaving ESPN August 17th.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:32 pm
They seem to have yanked Dan off the air already this week in favor of his usual gang of substitutes. It’s no longer called or promoted as The Dan Patrick Show. No sign of Olberman.
In the immortal words of Redskins stalwart DL Dave Butz at the end of his long career, after he got cut: It’s all business, baby.
July 24th, 2007 at 7:12 pm
I’m Dan Patrick’s Daughter and my dad is not self absorbed. he is married with 4 kids he is not Gay or sassy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
