Larry Brown Sports is reporting longtime broadcaster and host Dan Patrick is expected to leave ESPN Radio soon.

Expect Dan Patrick to announce soon…maybe within hours…that he’s leaving BSPN to pursue other radio and television opportunities. Apparently Patrick feels that his exposure is at it highest…and that this is a perfect time to branch out on his own. Don’t be surprised to see Patrick resurface first with a syndicated radio show.

While it’s hard to disagree that Patrick is a savvy vet in the radio world, I can’t stand his ego at times. I appreciate that he doesn’t give into pompous athletes like Terrell Owens, but apparently it takes one to interview one if you catch my drift. His show is still entertaining – especially with all the guests he’s able to pull down – but man, he loves himself.

As far as Patrick’s next move, SPORTSbyBROOKS has some humorous suggestions, including one that entails charcoal.
