..the dirty little secret out there is that Patrick's radio show ratings are slightly behind the ratings of ESPN's other primary radio properties, Mike & Mike in the morning and "The Herd" with Colin Cowherd.Leave your comment about the rumor and/or move if it is announced in the swamp. UPDATE: It's official.
You can always expect to hear the biggest names in sports appear on Dan Patrick's show, but Patrick is not nearly as entertaining to listen to as Cowherd or even Mike & Mike. Patrick has a tough time carrying a show on his own and its only when he's paired with Keith Olberman or one of his regular guests (Rick Reilly, Reggie Miller, etc) that he truly shines.
