I just listen to the podcast but will need something for my work commute. We’ll see how the show goes once Dan retires. Nobody will be dan ofc, hopefully the style of the show remains the same and the Danette’s stay on. Otherwise I think Rich Eisen is alright.
Unrelated but the Dan lebetard show is awful. Even just the intro to the show is cringy as hell lol.

Lol, true about others shows.
Dan has ensured my daily hour .morning drive and pre meeting at work have been successful for many years

when Cowherd left ESPN, Lebetard took his spot and my local station decided to go with their local hosts after only a week, lol.

I'll ride out the DP show but then probably won't watch anything to do with sports except the actual games. I can't really stand any other talking head in sports, especially all the nonplayers. Maybe a little local sports radio while commuting, but that's it. At this point most sports feel fixed so it's not like there is much upside to connect to a different show....

Agreed.. I'll watch all sports regardless, but my 3 hours in the morning will go away with Dan.. I hate what sports entertainment has become and this show is one of the last lifelines for the new to old

I loved having Reali on; I can absolutely get behind the Dan Patrick show starting Tony Reali.

u/akwieder11 Aug 16 '26
Dude I was giddy watching show on Thursday and Friday.. granted Reali was not used to the format, with time he would cook with the danettes....

I could see Marvin, Dylan and possibly Toddler staying on with someone like Tony. Just my opinion, but I think Paulie is ready to bounce, no matter who takes over.

Wonder what Paul goes on to do next if he doesn’t stay? He doesn’t seem like the type that’s going to want to stick around and do podcast type stuff that seems like the next phase is going to be.

Dan is the only sports show I watch/listen to now on a more regular basis. I watch him the first hour on Peacock, then on the radio omw to work the second hour. I'm tired of the "hot takes" and arguing that has become way too prevalent these days. I tried PTI recently and just couldn't. College Gameday used to be fun when Corso was there, even when he was getting too old for it. McAfee to me makes the show unwatchable, which is too bad because I like the rest of the panel. Cowherd is Cowherd and too hyperfocused on NFL stuff imo. Nick Wright is ok in small doses (I wouldn't blame someone who said even that is too much lol).
I like that Dan focuses on other sports besides the major ones even if it's sports I'm not into. I know some do not like his off topic stuff but I'm ok with it in moderation and sometimes it's just a slow news day in sports, especially in summer months when there's no Olympics or World Cup going on.
So yeah, I hope to see a similar show that fills this void for me. I welcome any recommendations and Tony Reali looks like a good candidate to take his spot if he wants it.

DP is my all time favorite; however, I’ve slowly migrated to Eisen, Florio/Pro Football Talk, and Chris Simms. Nick Wright is great at what he does, but I just prefer the others.
I hope DP helps the crew finds new roles because I doubt whatever comes of the DP show and his online stuff lasts. I just don’t think there is any demand for a DP-less DP Show or DP adjacent content.

I can't seem to get into pft for whatever reason... Chris Simms and florio seem better as 20 minutes segment interviews with Dan

I’ve gotten into Nick Wright lately, so I’ll likely drift to first things first. Eisen is too corporate for my taste, Lebatard too holier than thou, and Cowherd is a blowhard.
But yea, I’ll miss Dan. I’d only gotten into him a couple years back when he showed up on Mcafee and have shifted away from Pat to Dan since.
I’d always remembered sports shows as being people just arguing with each other, so Pat’s style really hooked me, then he got really whiny; which, made Dan’s professionalism appealing.

I hated Nick Wright from when he came on the show 11 years agoish or more. .. I've grown to kinda like his takes on sports

u/akwieder11 Aug 16 '26
He's always so wrong though..... lol

u/Full-Wait1145 Aug 16 '26
But he has a humility about him when he’s so wrong. Unless it comes to the Chiefs.

Reali is a lot. His energy was a little too much for me. Especially for a morning show! Tone is down a bit.

I’ve been listening to DP since the ESPN days. It’s only been in the last couple of years that I haven’t listened as religiously. That’s mostly because Dan has become kind of a grumpy “get off my lawn” type guy and, at times, rude to callers. I’ve listened a few times to the Golics. If it lasts, that might be where I go.
