JR Gives And Takes From Dan And The Danettes...

((HT: Dan Patrick Show/DirectTV/FoxSports))

Jeremy Roenick was a guest pimping the puck last week on the "Dan Patrick Show..."

Before and after his live guestitude, he checked Paulie into the boards- a lifeling dream for the Blackhawks fan... and both checked and gave McLovin a free shot on his titanium jaw...

The only winners were hockey and, of course, JR...

Peyton Manning On Lane Kiffin, "We Didn't Think Tennessee Was A Transition Job."

Peyton Manning was a guest Monday's Dan Patrick's radio show where the Colts quarterback discussed a plethora of topics. They talk about Tony Dungy and some other Colts stuff but then Manning discussed Lane Kiffin's short but memorable tenure at Tennessee. Let's just say Manning wasn't that crazy about Kiffy-kins and the way he treated the Big Orange Nation.

Former Hog Sports radio reporter Renee Gork responds to her firing from her job.

Earlier in the show, the GM of Hog Sports Radio, Dan Storrs said his peace about the firing, trying to be as political as possible lended some evidence toward the Tweeting aspect of Gork's relationship with the Network...

The HQ thinks this ain't over... by any means...

Brooklyn Decker, A Razor, And A Beard...

((HT: FSRNetwork))

Sounds like a really bad joke you hear in a bar... but it's not...
The crew on the "Dan Patrick Show" had a running bet for the last two weeks. SI Cover Model Brooklyn Decker got to shave a beard of her choosing of the facial hair that really needed to go away...

It ended up being Paul... or, at least, half of Paul...

Goodell: Roethlisberger Violated Policy

((HT: DanPatrick.com))

Not that this is a surprise or anything...

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell joined Dan Patrick this morning on his nationally-syndicated talk show to discuss a lot of topics- and, naturally, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Roethlisberger was one of them.

YahooSports! is reporting that the commimssioner is going to announce a penalty this week: "There may be plenty of reports. I make the decision when I"m prepared to do so," Goodell said.

But Goodell did acknowledge a violation of the conduct policy...

From Andrew Perloff's posting:

"Yes, there has been a violation of that," Goodell said. "The issue here is respect to a pattern of behavior ... bad judgments."

Goodell said he needed time to review all the facts. "Obviously there is a dispute about the facts that occurred that night," Goodell said.

Listen to the segment here...

Odds are if there isn't an announcement before the NFL Draft on Thursday, there won't be one until next week.

Never Lose A Bet To McLovin'

((HT: DirectTV/The 101))

Sometimes, revenge is a dish best served with balls...

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER!!!

From the Monday "Dan Patrick Show," show producer Paul Pabst and show-blogger Andrew "McLovin' " Perloff had a bet over the MLS Cup Final between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake.

McLovin' got the win so that meant Paulie had to take Dodgeballs and soccer balls from the free throw line...

Hilarity ensues...



Now, if those of us at OSG HQ could get a studio space like that, we'd be in business...

Gary Miller Probably won't call Soccer Games

Admittedly, we are not huge soccer fans here at OSG World HQ, but we respect the game and realize that it has a humongous fanbase internationally and occasionally here in the U.S. That being said, we feel an obligation to pass on this clip from the Dan Patrick Radio show...in the clip, Gary Miller tries...in vain to read Soccer Highlights from I guess the day before...and let's just say, he had some trouble with the names.

Enjoy the read, the video isn't much to look at though: Courtesy of the You Tube

Did Gruden Stiff NFL-N...?

((HT: Awful Announcing))

Rich Eisen was a guest on the "Dan Patrick Show" and was in a little Q-and-A over Jon Gruden's new gig with "Monday Night Football."

Apparently, to Eisen's understanding, Gruden was heading to the Network, and then, all of a sudden signed with the four-letter...

Here's your exchange...

No World for the Super Bowl

There apparently have been some published reports out that say the NFL is considering moving the Super Bowl (not sure if I just infringed on their copywrite) outside the U.S. The rumor has gotten serious enough that the BBC did a story on it...check it out here .

The "Jolly Roger" chimed in on this issue Thursday on the Dan Patrick Radio show. Check out what he had to say right here . Believe him on this, it won't happen immediately, but it has been discussed. There are tons of hurdles the league would have to overcome to make it happen.

It is no secret that the NFL has plans for Global Domination, don't start buying your tickets just yet. This is something that we here at the OSG suspect would become very political, very fast. Already, there are problems with the league taking steps to rise above the rest of the Sporting World and making people pay for any and all of their content (see the issue with Comcast).

Pretty much all of the Sports Leagues have made forays onto international turf, including the NFL. However, there is a big difference between placing a regular season game and placing the "Biggest" of them all some place else. It's been no secret that the Super Bowl is no longer something that the "Common Folk" can afford to attend, this would seal the deal. While it would undoubtedly sell-out, it would be the "Mega-rich", "Stars" and Londoners only in attendance. We just can't see that flying with the General Public.
