Talk:Dan Patrick (sportscaster)

message: Someone should also mention how Patrick always annoyingly (and apparentely out of habit) replies with "all right" (usually in a mean and/or disappointed tone of voice) each time he ends a discussion topic with a colleague during various segments (i.e. "Fact or Fiction," post/pre-game analysis, on-location report, etc).—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick22aku (talk • contribs) 22:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: My parents tell me that Dan (Patrick) Pugh is the brother of Mike Patrick (Pugh?), also of ESPN, and that both are sons of an acquaintance of my parents from Zanesville, Ohio. Neither bio refers to the other as a brother (at least in Wikipedia). Can this be confirmed by anyone else?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobcatbob (talk • contribs) 19:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm in the UK, so only listen to Dan's radio show and never see him on TV. When did he leave Sportscenter ? Was he fired or did he quit ? Tycobbuk 12:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He said the day Bill Parcells retired (today) that he grew very tired of doing it every day and he began to dread doing it. Now he enjoys what he does on the radio and NBA Nation. Quadzilla99 20:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semiprotect 

message: The story about Patrick going into radio syndication was published July 12. After that point, Dan Patrick has not hosted that timeslot, which is now being referred to by guest hosts (Brad Van Pelt Jun 12-13, Michael Kay 16) as "ESPN Radio" with no show title. The email address has been changed from Patrick's show's email to the generic "radio@espnradio.com."
My comments did not state anything further about the future of the show, they merely indicated the timeline to which ESPN Radio has rebranded that hour. Everything stated was factual, with no speculation.

thread_title:  Trivia sections 

message: I deleted "Dan has ETHICS ISSUES, doing ads and endorsing products. Those things go in direct violation of the RTNDA Code of Ethics (that's the group which is for broadcast "journalists"). It's good to see Dan leave ESPN. Maybe he will clear his head and get the ESPN crap out and become a real sports journalist again."
This is an encyclopedia, not an opinion piece. FACTS!!!

message: I am going to edit the article so that "Dan Patrick" goes to a disambig article.  There is a Texas politican and Broadcaster named Dan Patrick, also. See Dan Patrick (politics).--Getaway 21:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the proposal was move to Dan Patrick, and use a disambig link at top. I'll prod the disambig page.-Andrew c [talk] 16:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

*Support - Should have been discussed, and should be moved back to just Dan Patrick, with an "other uses" tag for the politician, as Snowfire51 has suggested. --Bongwarrior 07:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The user Tommyacquinas over half of his edits with Wikipedia concerns supporting this proposition. I hope it is not a sockpuppet.--Getaway 19:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been called a lot of things, but a sockpuppet is a new one. I do believe I am my own flesh and blood entity with my own opinions; I apologize for not making more corrections in the past on Wikipedia if that's what's bugging you. I only ended up here because I was poking around Wikipedia looking at Olbermann, Kilborn and the other anchors and came upon the Dan Patrick page and saw the weird disambig page. Frankly, this whole thing seems a little too passionate about a random entry about a sportscaster. Oh, also an unknown politician.Tommyaquinas 13:11, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, Good Lord. It's not a new account, he does have an edit history. It looks like Tommyacquinas made one edit on this page, and then fixed his own edit. I doubt he's a sockpuppet. Snowfire51 20:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, for Goodness Sake. Peter, Paul and ALL the Saints, of course, it is a potential sockpuppet. The account has only made fifteen (15) edits in its whole existence and six (6) of those edits are Dan Patrick focused in the last two days!!! Of course it is a potential sockpuppet!! Suddenly the account comes to life during a survey on where the words Dan Patrick lead the Wikipedia user? If it quacks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, then it is probably a duck.--Getaway 03:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I'm not a duck either, that's a fowl thing to call a man.Tommyaquinas 13:11, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Wait, the page is fixed. Why are we still talking about this? Oh, wait, I'm the only one. My Bad.Tommyaquinas 13:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think he was kidding with Dan when he said that on Dan's show. He didn't write anything and I don't think it was serious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam22789 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has a section titled Future beyond ESPN/ABC that I think should be changed to "Current ventures," or something like that. To say "future" means that these things haven't happened yet, but they have. Good idea? Your thoughts?Gamecockbo (talk) 21:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
