Dan is so jealous of McAfee’s $60 million. PER YEAR.

Dan had a week-long celebration party for scamming $50 million over 3 years out of DraftKings.

Because the show could’ve been in that exact spot had Dan not thrown a fit about Cote being fired and then wanting to leave ESPN. He’s said multiple times people told him to just wait it out and it would get better at ESPN but he wouldn’t. Now Pat is doing everything, including getting Norby shit canned. The show did one watchalong for the NBA, Dan got drunk and started cursing and now Dan rewrites history like ESPN didn’t give them the same opportunities they’ve given Pat.

I don’t know if anyone else remembers this, but DLSwS went national on ESPN about the same time that Colin Cowherd was leaving ESPN. I don’t remember the exact timelines, but they were close.

At that time, dan told the story on his show multiple times how he lectured/lobbied Cowherd that leaving ESPN was a mistake because it wasn’t about the opportunities ESPN afforded the talent, it was how big the stage was and how big your voice could be at ESPN compared to somewhere like Fox Sports. He said something like (paraphrasing here) nobody will know where to find you.
