He'll keep turning up. It'll be like the first <i>Terminator</i> movie...every time you think he's finally done and gone, he'll rise up again and keep going.

I find it interesting the Ken Starr, who was independent prosecutor for first the Clinton Whitewater and then Monicagate, forced Clinton's Secret Service agents to testify, even though the SS cited possible security risks to the Prez (then and future) if the C-in-C was afraid to talk in their presence. They were overruled. I guess it just depends who thinks what is more important...

I will attend more cautiously from now on. I too am confused over the Dan Patrick Farewell Week appearing to have been reduced to a Dan Patrick Farewell Day. Maybe. Or not. As for Karl Rove, he doesn't have to give me a farewell MINUTE. OK, I feel a little better in that it appears I didn’t miss anything by missing the football.

There is nothing I could find on ESPN.com or ESPNradio.com regarding either the final week or even a final broadcast. A Google search proved fruitless as well. Why no offical announcement somewhere? DP may have stated on air there was to be a final broadcast week and so may have an ESPN spokesman, but given the lack of DP being on today does not bode well in my book. It may be something he has no control over as well. That's why I sent an e-mail to ESPN Radio asking for information. Again, let me reiterate that I don't think I will get a response from them.

But an ESPN spokesman tells me that the speculation is wrong, and that Patrick will be back for a “farewell week.”

Saying his final day is August 17 doesn’t negate any shows prior to that date.

If ESPN is blocking DP from coming on the radio, it's a classless move by them. Dan Patrick is one of the reasons ESPN got so popular, and was there forever. Good job Olberfann54321.

Here's an example: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2007-07-09-Patrick-leaving-ESPN_N.htm I sent an e-mail to EPSN Radio this morning asking if Friday will be the only day DP will be on. I doubt if anyone will even respond. I'm hoping we get Friday, at least. If I get an answer, I'll let everyone know.

These two opened the show by saying "give us three hours of your time". I think Becky may be right, we will be lucky to get Friday. Kim - he won’t be on at 2:00.
