Where's Dan Patrick?
While it's old news that Dan Patrick apparently cut out of his not-yet-expired contract with ESPN to take a job with The Content Factory, it's surprising that Patrick wasn't hosting his radio show today. When he announced his departure, he said that the week of Aug. 13-17 would be his last week, and the fill-in hosts who have been serving in that time slot have been repeating this information, even as recently as last week.
But today, there was no Dan Patrick. There hasn't been any Dan Patrick since news leaked that he'd already found a new gig. It looks like there won't be any Dan Patrick on ESPN Radio ever again.

I have tried several times this week to contact & have
sent e-mails to ESPN to find out why Dan is not on & have
gotten no response! Obviousley they have pulled the
plug after finding out that he may have another job
already?? But there has been no mention about him &
I don't even hear any of his commercials anymore!
You likely won't get a response because apparently ESPN has a policy where they don't comment on personnel matters. What's odd is that his page on ESPN Radio.com (http://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/show?showId=danpatrick) hasn't been taken down, and still gets updated daily.
One interesting note is that when he announced his departure, he said, "If there was animosity, I wouldn't be doing any radio shows after today." And when his next gig was found out a few days later, he was removed and hasn't returned. Apparently, there was animosity somewhere.
