The New Dan Patrick Show: White Boy Can Shoot

Man, too bad DP couldn’t have gotten in on the game with Barack Obama: He Shoots — But Will He Score?

From the SI article, One-on-One With Obama:

When a coach, a close friend, casually threw out the word n—–, Obama says, “It reminded me that race is complicated, that people are complicated, that you could have ugly strains even among people who were otherwise decent…. It does not necessarily mean they’re bad people.”

On Dan’s a Guppy?:

And Hawaii added: I think, to mangle a phrase, that Dan wants to be a guppy in a large pond rather than an octopus in a fishbowl right now.

BTW, have you noticed that he is starting to use that big pond, and is interviewing people other than just athletes and coaches? Hugh Hefner (who I could live without, but that’s beside the point), Tom Brokaw, James Carville, Rob Tannenbaum from Blender, and a congressman talking steroids, have all been on the show in the last 5 shows. The show has really been moving along nicely lately. Maybe they were inspired by your Evil Palaver list? :)

Good observation re the big pond vs the fishbowl.

Re Evil Palaver: No direct evidence that Dan is taking Evil’s advice, but we do know that he listens to Palaver!
