Monday, February 11, 2008

Dan Patrick has became widely recognized for his poignant interviews and dry wit in his role as an ESPN anchor/reporter, primarily on ESPN’s 11 pm ET SportsCenter. He also has reported from major events such as the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals and Final Four, and has called play-by-play for select NCAA basketball telecasts since joiningESPN in March 1989.

Patrick wrote for ESPN The Magazine. He authored “Outtakes,” the magazine’s most popular page featuring a no-holds-barred, question-andanswer interview with the sports world’s most interesting figures. Additionally, he served as host of The Dan Patrick Radio Show weekdays on ESPN Radio before retiring on August 17, 2007.

Patrick graduated from high school in Mason, OH and received a Bachelor’s degree in broadcasting from the University of Dayton.
