I really love Dan's new(-ish) show. He is 99% less shouty and 90% less sexist/misogynist that the other sports guys out there, so he's pretty much my sole sports source these days.
I wish someone would write a book on the evolution of Dan's show, because it's a pretty fascinating story in itself. He started it secretly broadcasting from the third floor guest rooms of his house with a staff of three guys, and now it's a nationally syndicated television show as well as a radio show. ESPN doesn't allow any of their employees to appear on Dan's show, won't mention him by name if they have to quote him, and regularly steal his poll questions. Somehow, though, he's doing okay.
