Sports Media Discussion (RIP ESPN) - Page 250 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

i listen to the dan patrick show today and i think dan's ego has reached an all-time high. he claimed simmons was fired because of the interview on his show on friday. first of all, simmons didn't get fired and second there is no way espn didn't renew his contract because of the dan patrick show interview... i like dan but his ego is out of control

Anyone that names their studio assistants the dan-ettes or whatever has a bit of an ego problem lol. And they go along with it, which is probably even worse.

I remember when Cowherd said Sanchez would succeed because PEDIGREE, LOOKS, and CONFIDENCE due to having a girlfriend. He said guys with hot girlfriends will be good NFL QBs.

So he should be a top 10% political commentator.

As somebody already said he is an old school 2+2er, his handle was MLG.

Nice try but I googled and lol his account named well... Seth Partnow has 30k posts that I have no recollection of whatsoever. (Unless that's Sethy's old account and the guy who banned me for cat anus got famousish.)

btw the absolute worst Simmons habit of the last few years is his excessive use of elipses in his columns. I can't even read those paragraphs

Yeah, it's like the writing equivalent of a vocal tic. His editor needs to flex on him some, show him what's up.

Yeah, this. I remember reading that when it came out.

My first words were just like his kid's, they were our Golden Retriever's name. Name is even close, she was Rosie. I said "Ro-Ro."
