I loved Dan Patrick. Especially loved the Big Show with KO at 2pm. I would always try to listen to it. I think he is just bored after 18 years and is probably seeing people with less talent making more money and having more "family" time. (Cowherd would come to mind) But I love Cowherd as well. This is a big loss for ESPN no two ways about it. NOW if they could just adopt the new paradigm of having fewer commercials and charging more for them (M and M especially!)

Yea, he had a really good interview with David Wright in hour #1..... What might be interesting for Patrick is if he goes to NY at WFAN and takes IMUS spot.....Also we were talking about this at lunch, how about Stephen A. Smith from 1-4....I like it!!!!!!
I can only take Stephen A Smith for 2 minutes at a time....I am not a fan of his "I am always right, and nobody else knows what they are talking about" attitude....reminds me of a few people that post on this board...

ESPN’s Patrick joining new radio venture

Dan Patrick announced Monday on his radio show he was leaving ESPN and said his final show will be Aug. 17.
BOSTON - Longtime ESPN personality Dan Patrick will join a new broadcast venture called "The Content Factory," a company that wants to transmit radio content over different mediums.
Patrick made the announcement Thursday.
“Dan isn’t leaving radio — he’s leading radio to its next logical path, much the way the web, mobile devices and 24/7 wireless connectivity has done for video,” said Jimmy de Castro, who helped found "The Content Factory." “He will continue his innovative industry leadership by taking his brand, the ‘Big Show,’ to broader audiences in the innovative ways they receive their information – via radio, television, internet, podcasts, infopods, mobil devices and beyond.”

The former SportsCenter anchor announced his decision on his radio show Monday and said his final show will be Aug. 17.
“It’s been home, but I think I was starting to take it for granted, and I did not want to do that,” Patrick said on the air. “I did not think that was fair to these great people.”
Patrick said ESPN executives tried to talk him out of his decision. He originally planned to make the announcement last week, but they asked him to reconsider.
“If there was animosity, I wouldn’t be doing radio shows after this one today,” he said.
Patrick recently served as host of the NBA studio program on ABC, NBA Countdown, and the network’s game broadcasts, including the NBA finals. He was a SportsCenter anchor from 1989-06.
He has hosted The Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio since 1999. During his last week, ESPN Radio will look back at memorable moments from the show.
Anyone know anything about this "content factory?"
