[ESPN] Dan Patrick quits

Twobit Whore · 07-09-2007, 09:03 PM

FOX Sports on MSN - More Sports - Dan Patrick leaving ESPN after 18 years

He got offered the Price Is Right gig but claims to have turned it down. Maybe he reconsidered.

Wow. I thought that guy would be there forever. I grew up watching him on ESPN and he was like the face of Sports Center for me for years.

Blumpster · 07-09-2007, 11:54 PM

Why won't Stuart Scott quit? That guy's a fucking douche bag. Just stick Kenny Mayne on Sportscenter with no co-anchor and watch the ratings soar.

Kenny is ok, but i don't think the ratings would go off the charts or anything. Stuart scott would have to quit tho, they cant fire him or he would cry discrimination. I really don't think patrick took the price is right job, he has said numerous times, it's just not his thing. I look for him to be on syndicated radio, as reports have suggested.

Stuart Scott used to be funny to me, now he annoys me more than anything because of his desperate attempt to sound hip. I'm bummed about Dan Patrick leaving, when I heard about it I thought I guess he must've accepted that job at the price is right after all. Though that doesn't seem to be the case.

Apparently he was going to quit sooner but gave them another week to convince him or something. I think he's probably at this point just tired of only being the sports guy and wants to do something else though. He's clearly a pretty smart guy, maybe he wants to do real world shit on CNN ala larry king or something

Damn that sucks

maybe Dan and Keith have some plans, perhaps satellite radio...

Grimmlokk · 07-11-2007, 12:08 PM

My first thought was him going to a CNN type channel also. Like his pal Olberman.

And yes, Stuart Scott should die. When he randomly starts talking like he's ghetto I get physically angry and change the channel. There's a lot of sportscaster types who I loathe, but only 3 that will make me change the channel. Him, Stephen A, and Skip Bayless.

Ham n Cheese · 07-11-2007, 12:11 PM

Oh god how is Skip Bayless on Television

darksensei · 07-11-2007, 05:07 PM

Stephen A. Smith....flip.

Drtyrm · 07-13-2007, 11:21 AM

Skip Bayless is that perfect talk show guy. The one you hate so fucking much you keep watching, so you can call your buddies and tell them the nonsense the douchebag was spewing.

I'm pretty sure he serves a purpose. Sure, occasionally he sounds insane, but most of them his views are somewhat logical even if they are unpopular. What good is a friendly argumentative platform if people always agree? They need someone to choose another side to give room for debate.

Wouldnt be surprised to see him doing something with Keith Obermann at MSNBC. Maybe going to another sports network, too. Guys a talent for sure. As for Stuart Scott...I cant stand him and his semi wanna be hip Bullshit. I dont watch ESPN to learn kiddie speak.

Chris Berman annoys the crap out of me. When he called him Albert "Winny the" Pujols at the homerun derby, that was the last stray.

Angerz · 07-17-2007, 10:35 AM

Personally, most of the time I think Skip Bayless is an idiot.

But as far as Point/Counterpoint goes, I think he is pretty good. Even if I dont agree with what he says, he offers more evidence and a better argument than most ESPN personalities.

He does have some bias against some big names (Lebron, Tiger), but his analysis isn't always off base.

Grimmlokk · 07-17-2007, 10:39 AM

All 3 of the ESPN shithead trio could be 100% right about everything they say and I'd still wish herpes on them and all their loved ones. They are unlikable and annoying and I don't want to watch or listen to their opinions delivered by them in their typical fashion. TV is not for everyone.
