The Dan Patrick Show

Original MTV VJ Alan Hunter joined the show to relive the launch of a network that forever changed music Hunter reflected on MTV’s beginnings, the music videos that sparked controversy, and how artists like R.E.M. and Duran Duran helped shape the channel’s identity. He also discussed why the Grateful Dead became more of a movement than an all time great American band and shared behind-the-scenes stories from an era when MTV was making history on a shoestring budget.

Longtime ESPN anchor Linda Cohn joined the show to reflect on her legendary SportsCenter career as she prepares for her final broadcast. Cohn discussed deciding to leave on her own terms, shared memories from her first SportsCenter alongside Chris Myers, and looked back on the competitive early days at ESPN.

Taylor Twellman joined the show from a gas station in Boston to break down Team USA’s World Cup outlook after its hard-fought loss. Twellman believes the result provided valuable answers about which players are ready for the moment, while confirming Christian Pulisic looks fully healthy and back in rhythm. Looking ahead, he expects Bosnia to defend for the full 90 minutes, but remains confident the United States will rise to the challenge and still be preparing for a quarterfinal in two weeks.

Former WNBA All-star Stacey Dales joined the show and didn’t hold back on the WNBA’s handling of the latest Caitlin Clark controversy. Dales said the tension between teams crossed the line from heated competition into something unacceptable, and believes commissioner Cathy Engelbert now has a chance to make a real statement with discipline.

US National Soccer Hall of Famer Eric Wynalda joined the show and made it clear this U.S. team feels different. He believes the Americans are deeper and more dangerous offensively than past World Cup squads, with enough quality to go nearly 20 players deep. Playing at home only adds to the opportunity, and Wynalda doesn’t see a team the U.S. should fear because anything is possible in this event.

Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix joined the show and said Boston was firmly in the Giannis conversation, but never got reckless enough to match Miami’s aggressive offer. He also weighed in on the surprise LaMelo Ball trade to Minnesota, saying the Timberwolves had long felt like a natural fit for a team searching for another star next to Anthony Edwards.

Tim MacMahon joined the show to break down the fallout from the Giannis trade and why Miami ultimately had the stronger package than Boston. MacMahon said Milwaukee was looking for a true reset, not just a star swap built around Jaylen Brown and late first-round picks.

Mike Florio joined the show and laid out why Brendan Sorsby’s case feels so unusual, arguing the NFL may have avoided a messy suspension fight by simply keeping him out altogether. Florio pointed to other gambling-related cases that did not bring league punishment and questioned whether Sorsby was treated differently.

Seth Greenberg joined the show and made it clear he believes Darryn Peterson was the best all-around player in the draft, even if AJ Dybantsa’s talent and maturity still make him a worthy top pick. Greenberg also came to Cam Boozer’s defense, calling him one of the most underappreciated prospects in the class and predicting a long career with immediate production.

Vincent Goodwill joined the Dan Patrick Show and made it clear he wasn’t surprised Giannis landed in Miami, calling the Heat the most aggressive suitor all along. Goodwill said Milwaukee still came away with a real haul, but the move raises bigger questions around the East, especially in Boston, where Jaylen Brown’s future feels murkier than ever. He also touched on Miami’s fit with Giannis and Bam, before admitting the biggest mystery in the draft remains who goes No. 1. VIDEO
