Patrick, who left ESPN in 2007 and now has his own show, The Dan Patrick Show, finished a piece about Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez by saying "another talented person who left Bristol, Conn.," according to Deadspin.
Back in 2007, there were rumors that Patrick was having difficulties negotiating a contract with ESPN, whose main buildings are held in Bristol. He rejected those rumors when asked by The Boston Globe.
"Well, if there were, why would they let me go on the radio for five days?" Patrick said.
Originally, no ESPN talent was allowed on his new show, but he called ESPN's Mike and Mike on the air and they were able to be heard without punishment from ESPN, according to yahoo.com
Patrick has a unique style and there are many people who favor it, including Steve Koonin.
"He doesn't talk like a sports talk guy," said president of Turner Entertainment Networks.
