The Dan Le Batard Show

As the show becomes fully entrenched in the lineup at ESPN, it is heading towards the launching pad that is about to take it to new heights. Before we get there though, the gang continues to struggle with the show just not feeling right. As a last gasp effort to get Dan back in his comfort zone, Mike Ryan makes a call to ESPN executives to take the show off television for two weeks and move back to the smaller studio at The Clevelander. As Mike Ryan says himself, this may have been the move that saved the show. After the break, the show comes out flying what the gang considers to be the golden era of content. Around the time of the studio change, the show is moved into the mid-day slot on ESPN Radio, making it arguably the biggest thing in sports radio at the time. You'll hear from Dan, Stu, Mike, Chris Cote, Old Money Charlie and even former ESPN President, John Skipper, about the show making the transition from Fusion to ESPNU and afternoons to mid days. Then, in line with the golden era of content, get ready for what is far and away the best supercut so far. Here are just some of the highlights: Bob Einstein on Rob Gronkowski, Alan Thicke on Tomas Hertl, Norm Macdonald watching the Draft, We Are The Lobos, Corn Elder and perhaps the most egregious Stugotz mistake in show history.

Today's Cast: Dan, Stugotz, David, Hawk, Roy, Mike, Tony, Jess. It's a packed house this Friday morning and we begin by talking about that stinker of a Thursday Night Football game last night between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. The top story was not the football game, but rather 49ers linebacker, De'Vondre Campbell, apparently quitting in the middle of the game. We discuss the reaction from Kyle Shanahan, George Kittle and Charvarius Ward in the postgame press conference and whether or not Campbell is likely to ever play again in the NFL. Andrew Hawkins shares that he sometimes considered doing the same and brings us inside the mind of a football player in that moment. Plus, Jessica cannot wait for Bowl Season to start on Saturday and Hawk tells us about his experience playing in bowl games which included a designer hammer and a portable DVD player.
