per this

Oh, and there’s a tiny bit of news in here that isn’t finalized, but it will be: LeBatard’s radio show is going national. When the deal is complete (it will get done), he’ll be on ESPN radio after Van Pelt’s show, taking over the Jonathan Coachman spot (he took over Doug Gottlieb’s spot last year). So you’ll be getting more Dan LeBatard in your life whether you like it or not.

not down here...he has Stugotz (producer...basically the equivalent of a MSB who posts before giving any rational thought whatsoever as to what he's saying then flip flops 5 minutes later)

I always listen to his podcasts. He's really good and does great with his guests--sometimes a great friendly rapport, sometimes semi-hostile--and can be really funny. Stugotz is a total arse though and gets really annoying with the exaggerated stupidity and fake Jim Rome voice. Once a week Stan Van Gundy sits in with them for a whole show and it is fantastic radio. I'm sure they'll have to tinker with the show's format some before it goes national. It's pretty local now and he gets away with stuff that I don't think he'll be able to get away with on a national forum.

Full disclosure: I'm an unabashed Lebatard fan and like everything he does, even though I don't always agree with his stances. I hate Coachman and am thrilled to see that douchelord replaced.

I'm all for this. LeBatard is funny as hell, and as mentioned great interviews.

This might kill what makes Lebatard show special.

They took a call once from a guy who told about how Julio Franco had the biggest penis in MLB.

Hope it works out cause i like the show.

They played that call for Tim Kurkjian and he laughed so hard they had to take a commercial break like 2 minutes into the segment because Timmy couldn't keep his composure. It was great radio.

I worry about that too. But it'll still be MILES better than Coachman.

I didn't mind Coachman after Kannell joined him.

Not bad considering how much better LeBatard is than Gottlieb/Coachman were after SVP&R.

Best radio show out there right now.

I've been listening on the podcasts for probably almost 4 years while killing time at work.

its really nothing serious and Dan isn't involved.

Hollywood, Florida hired Dans brother, who is a famous painter, to paint a muriel and he submitted a sketch of what he would paint but painted something completely different.

Really not much of a scandal lol.
