1. Sports radio legend Dan Patrick caused a little bit of a stir last week when he said he would be retiring—in four years. What Patrick didn’t mention at time is that he just signed a four-year contract extension for his daily show, which airs on iHeartMedia stations and Peacock.
The Hollywood Reporter dropped news of Patrick’s new deal Tuesday, and the former SportsCenter anchor amusingly acknowledged that his announcements weren’t done in the proper order.
“I did it backwards, that I announced my retirement then announced my contract extension,” Patrick told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s sort of an Elton John Farewell Tour, where it’s going on for years, and I apologize for that.”
