I wish people would stop watching Dan Patrick. In my mind, he went from a respected sports anchor to a major asshole. Maybe I only liked Dan Patrick in the past because he seemed to be playing the straight man to Keith Olbermann's egotistical brainiac schtick. I still like Olbermann a lot. Keith Olbermann may act like a self-righteous dick a lot of times, but at least he's up front about it. Dan Patrick seems like he'd smile and wave at your mother as he slides a dagger into your back.

Evidently, Patrick's type of reporting and interviewing is getting people to tune in to SportsCenter and ESPN Radio, but it drove me away. I'm not bitter about it, as I don't mind doing other things with my time, but every time I hear that Dan Patrick has stirred up some more shit, it makes me wish for 10 years ago when he was just the guy who'd crack up every time Keith Olbermann said "Gianluca Pagliuca."
