Dan Patrick Bites Back (Softly) At Jason Whitlock
Unamused by Jason Whitlock's "Football Night In America" take-down piece, Dan Patrick fired back at the mighty Whitlock today on his radio show. Patrick was pretty reserved, but seemed a little miffed at how he was painted by Whitlock as a person "who doesn't care about football." Patrick said on ai...
Dara Torres Is Paying For Everyone's Sins
Granted, a 41-year-old woman breaking all sorts of swimming records is a red flag in today's performance-enhanced sports world, but is she being unfairly scrutinized?...
On With The Big Show, Again
ESPN SportsCenter purists who long for the days of Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann's dry witticism- infused sports highlights should now rejoice at their cubicles until your employer calls security and has you escorted out of the building....
This Is The *Ball That Will Grace The Hall
Dan Patrick's radio show this afternoon was very Bonds branded-ball heavy, grabbing baseball HOF president Jeff Idelson on for a few minutes to talk about how they finally wrestled the piece of history away from Marc Ecko. Lucky for them, the HOF was kind enough to send them a picture of the infamo...
Kwame Kilpatrick Will Never Send You Naughty Text Messages After This
Beleaguered Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was not received warmly at the Red Wings victory extravaganza yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with the sundry scandals and the vetoing of the funds set aside to remove him from office. The booing doesn't even fade after the proffering of free beer. ...
Someone Not Named Danica Wins Indy 500
Scott Dixon, seen here winning an unrelated reace, is your 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner. This makes it 39 years that the prestigious Brickyard race hasn't been won by either a woman or an Andretti. The New Zealander won his first 500 the year after he lost the IRL championship on the last lap of the...
Here She Comes, Here Comes Speed Racer
Quite a messy day of Indy 500 practice yesterday, with Danica Patrick's car clipping Dale Coyne Racing crewman Charles Buckman and sending him to the hospital with a concussion. Meanwhile, rookie driver Alex Lloyd hit a wall at 223 mph during a practice run and Mario Dominguez got in a minor wreck t...
Media Approval Ratings: Dan Patrick
Among the many pleasures of "Costas Now" the other night was Dan Patrick explaining how the old "Big Show" was actually named ironically by him and Keith Olbermann. They called it "The Big Show" because they assumed no one was watching and had no numbers or reason to think otherwise. But people were...
Danica Patrick Finally Wins, And That's Cool With Us
Danica Patrick, known to many sports fans as "the woman who is competent enough to be taken seriously and attractive enough to be overrated," finally won a race this weekend. Some have been mocking the achievement, but we dunno, we think it's impressive. It's hard to win races, you know?...
Danica Patrick No Longer A Pretty Girl Who Can't Win Races
It feels like it took longer than Phil Mickelson's first major, but the petite open-wheeled racer finally reached the checkered flag before a bunch of chauvinistic war-starting toilet-seat-leaving-up booze-crazed horndogs in Japan this weekend, becoming the first female to win a major auto racing ev...
Media Approval Ratings: Mike Patrick
With the Duke-North Carolina game this weekend — and the accompanying drinking games — we thought it'd be the perfect day to take a look at the occasionally bizarre Mike Patrick....
You Can Make Antoine Walker an All Star Again!
Some enterprising internetters over on the RealGM message boards have hatched a plan to corner the NBA All Star voting market involving cookies (not the kind you throw or use to torture). I'm a moron so I don't really understand all of their Internet Explorer speak but I have deduced that they are q...
Dan Patrick Finds Place To Peddle His Wares
We know you've been dying to find out the next move for Dan Patrick. He's got his national radio show now, his Web site and, hopefully, more Applebee's commercials with barbecue sauce all over himself. (Or whatever crappy chain restaurant that was; they all blend into one for us.) Well, Patrick has ...
Employee 8721 Should Turn In His ID Badge Tomorrow
In honor of Dan Patrick's last day at ESPN tomorrow, we proudly present his intraoffice "In The Know" page at ESPN. Looking dope, Dan....
Getting Meta With Kige
Deadspin's favorite YouTube sports commentator is back on the ebays and he's been lurking around these parts. Kige Ramsey heard about the NFL's plan to cover media members with pieces of flair, and he is none too happy. Listen up NFL executives, you do not want to put Kige in a corner....
Dan Patrick's Next Destination Is Duller Than You Think
Digging around the notes columns of the Chicago Sun-Times, The Big Lead thinks they've found what Dan Patrick's next move is. It's not nearly as exciting as we were hoping....
Chandler: This Year You Are Mine, Dan Patrick
If you are reading this, Dan Patrick, let's clear the air on this interview nonsense right away. To put it bluntly, last year you snubbed me. You were the only player at the Lake Tahoe American Century Golf Championship to do so — I even talked with Mike Schmidt. Mike freakin' Schimdt....
Small Cars Going In Circles, Because Peyton Manning Said They Could
The Indianapolis 500 is underway, and if the fact that I haven't mentioned until over an hour after it started seems to give an indication of my interest level in the race ... it probably does....
