Dan Patrick returned to the airwaves yesterday for the 1st of his 3-day fairwell tour with the World Wide Leader. The usual suspects joined in: David Stern, Reggie Miller, Rick Reilly, but perhaps most noteworthy was the news of Dan's fancy new website. Complete with video, a best of radio archive and ... wait, what's this? A blog? Or as Dan would say "Blag," one of the many MSM who choose to show their displeasure with us basement dwellars by mispronouncing the name. Apparently the Content Factory has shown him the light. Not much of a post on his 1st day, just a recap:
Fun to have Billy Crystal on today to talk about one of the icon’s of his youth, Yankee legend Phil Rizzuto. For me in Ohio it was announcers Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall. For New Yorkers, they had Phil. Also great to hear Billy to tell me about the first time he did his imitation of Phil and how he still considers Roger Maris as the single-season home run king.
The Great One, Wayne Gretzky, also checked in to compare his taking hockey to LA to what David Beckham is doing now. He’s one of the class acts in sports.
Also had Reggie Miller on today, one of my all-time favorite guests, to let us know that he’s working out to see if he can get his 42-year old body back in the NBA, maybe with the Celtics. Then to have him call back when Kevin Garnett shows up at this house and put KG on the line…great stuff.
SI’s Rick Reilly popped on, another one of my faves. What you have to love about Riles is that he is unfiltered…good or bad. The NBA Commish, David Stern, came on at what is a very tough time for the league. He’s a stand up guy.
It was great to be back on the radio, refreshing to be back on. It really empowered me to look forward to the next version of the radio show that is on the way. We want to do it even bigger and better. There’s a lot more coming this week…Thursday we have Ray Lewis, Michael Wilbon, John Elway, Peter Gammons, Jerry West and Chi McBride. Then on Friday we wrap it up with Bob Costas, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice together, Ken Griffey Jr., Mark Jackson and the legendary broadcaster….the one and only…Ron Burgandy.
Enjoy.
