  I don't like Dan Patrick, but props to him for for leaving ESPN, and starting what seems to be like a trend. Hopefully this teaches ESPN to get their act together.

  Yahoo made a great move by buying Sporting News Radio from SN. I agree with what you said about getting a deal with CBS, NBC or FOX. Out of those, three I think NBC would be their best option.
  
  As for DP, I am a fan of his radio show but I get annoyed a lot when he mentions his emmy's or the fact that he's in some movies(I dont think he is in a movie that doesnt involve Sandler). He is pretty cocky. BTW...Does anyone know where he is from? I know he is an Ohioan and have heard Zanesville but have also heard the Cincy area.

  I don't blame Simmons for starting to leave ESPN, he's assembled a better group of writers on Grantland than ESPN could ever do

  What kills me is having to listen to Jesse Palmer and Dan Polluck as if they actually know something.

  Speaking of someone who doesn't know anything.....
