Unfortunately, it's not Chris Berman. Dan Patrick, the multitalented 18-year vet who has hinted recently of a major upcoming announcement, is strongly considering leaving the network.
An industry source said there was a "90 percent chance" he would announce his farewell during his Thursday radio show, which airs locally from noon-3 p.m. on WMVP-AM 1000. ESPN does not want to lose Patrick, and spokesman Josh Krulewitz indicated Tuesday the situation has yet to be resolved.
"Dan is under contract through next year and we are in discussion with him about his future," Krulewitz said. "Any speculation is premature."
If he leaves, the 51-year-old Patrick is expected to take time off before considering TV and nationally syndicated radio offers.
Producers from "The Price is Right" recently contacted Patrick to ask if he would like to succeed Bob Barker. The L.A. Daily News reported that Patrick's only response to the report was whimsical: "Len Barker was always one of my favorite pitchers.":thumbsup: </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Actually its the worst radio I have ever heard. Good show if you 3want to cure insomnia, but offers nothing in entertainment. Most shows are about Who should be in the Hall of fame or trying to define what the MVP is. Pathetic show, Maybe now I can listen a little bit in that time slot now.
Are you joking? Patrick is the best at asking the difficult and awkward questions. For example when Michael Irvin got busted with the Coke, weed, pipe, in his car he asked him straight up to talk about it on the radio. Also just recently when the Suns got fucked in the playoffs losing Amare Stoudamire for leaving the bench he was going at David Stern really hard to find out why he would let something like that determine an outcome in the playoffs. There are a bunch more I just dont remember all of them but he is good at asking those type of things!
