It took me a while to acquire a taste for this show but it has started to really grow on me. It's cheesy at times and some of the bits are forced but it's actually quite an enjoyable and informative sports radio show.

Good guests and interviews and for a radio show it does a pretty good show on television.

It destroys anything in the morning on Chicago sports radio.

Dan Patrick, Steve Czaban, and B&B are the only good sports radio shows.

It starts at 8:00? I am listening to what I assume is live right now. I'll try it out.

I used to listen to him from time to time (ESPN radio I think). The show is a bit quirky, but it is decent. I always preferred the local focus of Chicago based shows, but this is a nice change. Besides, I've got the Cubs to look forward to at 12:35 today, so this is a good bridge to that.

Best national show on the air.

Very good show. Good guests.

Only weird thing is that he refers to his guys as "the Danettes." I would have to request a name change.

I agree with leash about the Danettes, they're kind of annoying at times too. Patrick is a great host though. Good show.

Good show, but a little slow for the mornings. Good interviews, but long. Like the sports junk theme.

Not sure if he is really still over his garage or they just duplicated that set elsehwere, would like to see a new set for the TV purposes.

Dan is good people. So much that NBC gave him a huge deal to do those Big events. Heard him talking about it, they locked him up for like $2 m a year, wanted to do a full show, but it never launched, but they had his rights, so thats why you see him on like Super Bowl shows and just a few big events.

I would put him up against Kimmel!

man who remembers dan & dibbs (ron dibble) on ESPNradio? i wanna say that during the end of dan patrick's run at "the mothership" his radio show would have olbermann come in for an hour a week on fridays or something?

i remember when les first came back they were splitting up his shifts in the middle of the night so they could air the dan patrick show, which meant that les would show up and do a show from 10-1, do god knows what during the 1am-4am airtime of the dan patrick show (theres a sitcom or a webseries or something there about what les did in the middle of the night from 1-4am waiting around to "build a bridge" to mully and hanley) and then come back at 4am to do another hour of radio that would keep people glued to the score so they'd stay for hully & manley. man, les is a fucking soldier with all the bullshit he's had to go through with the station. this is the same guy who would work 10pm/12am-5am and then drive his happy ass up to milwaukee BEFORE a 1:15pm start so he could get fresh tape from manny ramirez in the wake of the rumors that he might join the white sox.

as for the DP show, it is what it is and for a national super-syndicated show it's fine... but when he starts kissing adam "sandman" sandler's ass (cuz you know sandler has dan patrick doing cameos in a shit-ton of his movies) that's definite PTFB for me.

i seem to remember the ESPN show being a little bit better (i.e. you had dibble/olbermann/etc as opposed to "the danettes"), especially cuz it didnt try to force that "mancave" and "bros being bros" attitude on you like the current show does with its NBCSN/TV segments (oh look they're shooting baskets and putting and bantering during commercial breaks... they're just like us!) but hey, you know, in the end it's gonna be milquetoast and vanilla and plain ol standard fare lowest common denominator stuff, and at least dan patrick doesnt fake the edginess like RPB's boy rome. that chris everett thing had to be a work, right?

The Show was fine. They obsessed a bit about college coaches and yelling at players. I am not into arguing about the social aspects of sports be it concussion talk, wife beatings, player treatment and the like. I prefer that they stick to the games and on field performances.

My interest is mainly Chicago teams, so the show doesn't interest me much. It's fine. The interviews were solid.

They are a bunch of nerds trying really hard to be "guy's guys." They likely all majored in broadcasting or journalism - not that there's anything wrong with that. Just own it.

Giving this a listen right now. With the blown MNF call, I felt this might be a better place to get perspective. I'll head over to Kap later on.

Yeah, my internship coincided with Patrick's farewell tour. Olbermann was doing an hour every day on the days that Patrick was actually coming in, which were getting a little patchy. I didn't really pay much attention because I was either doing show prep or trudging my way through the absolute hell on earth that is Traffic & Continuity, but it was fine enough background noise, I guess, unless, of course, Stephen A. Smith was sitting in.

I didn't like when he was tape-delayed on the Score because it robbed us of fun-bad SPOR-TING-NEWWWS-RA-DI-OOOOO overnights, which at times got so downright weird that I wouldn't be sure whether I was awake or dreaming.

dibble and dan in the mid 2000's was great stuff.

They're going to address the Fan Duel/Draft Kings "scandal" soon. Fan Duel is a big advertiser on the show.
