I am saddened to know that one of my new favorite shows is almost over.

HBO's The Wire is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Like a moron, I didn't start watching until Season 4, which wrapped earlier this year. I've gone back and purchased Season 1 on DVD, and tore through that in a week. Then, I got my wife to watch it, and now she's hooked. We're currently shopping for Season 2 (e-bay is the cheapest place to find this show online).

What stinks is that '08 will be the final season. And probably by next summer, one of my other favs, The Shield, will have concluded its run. So I'll be down to LOST and Heroes.  

I'm glad to hear from you. I finally figured out how to find your e-mail address when you make a post, so I've spent some time responding. Check your e-mails.

Well, today Dan Patrick was back on the radio, much to my surprise.

I didn't get to catch all of the show, but from what I heard, he had been vacationing, most likely using up vacation days before he leaves ESPN after Friday's show. I didn't hear an explanation why he missed Monday and Tuesday, when ESPN, himself, and the guest hosts had been saying that he would be there.

He also shared that he now has a website where fans can keep up with what his plans are after he leaves. 

It doesn't sound like his tag team partner, Keith Olbermann, will be around for any final Big Shows.
