Dan Patrick was noticeably upset about it this morning.

Guy basically built that research department, and has a partially paralyzed wife at home to take care of. He was also apparently very active with the Make-a-Wish foundation and was constantly on ESPN's arse about being involved in charity. He was paid well by ESPN though, and he cannot talk to the media as part of the stipulations to his settlement.

If its not enough to retire, I hope he ends up at NBC Sports or the new Fox Sports Network.

Maybe there's a loophole in there somewhere. Maybe he can be "deep background" for Deadspin in their next set of stories targeting ESPN.

he was with the company for 26 years, and ended up leading the Stats and Info dept for many of them. you can just imagine how ballooned his salary ended up. I'm sure he will talk (maybe on DP) once the terms of his severance have passed. I'm also sure he will get snatched up by Fox or NBC or SI. He's literally the best in the business.
