OMG it's 1D!, Caller can you save me?, All white guys look the same

He should have been a model
Dan felt is boy Seton was mocking what Dan had said yesterday and this morning about the staff wearing DP gear, especially after no one but Fritzy wore it today, including Dan.  Seton would go to the back room and first came out wearing a long sleeve shirt, then a hat, and then a zippered pull over and finally a short sleeve shirt.

Don't let this smiling face fool you,
he's plotting his next move

All white guys look the same
More info on the Belichick snub came from Rodney Harrison today. It appears that Dan didn’t stand out in the cloud of other white guys. That’s why Bill didn’t shake Dan’s hand. Maybe Bill thought Dan was Brady’s grandfather?

Can you spot DP in this cloud
of old white guys?

OMG it's 1D!
Dan is going to see One Direction!  No, not like when he went to see Britney Spears by himself in LA.  This time he’s taking his daughters as a cover.  Back in LA there was no line for beer, they were actually waiting for a customer.  Now the line for the juice bar and ice cream was a different story.  Expect the same availability at 1D too.  Dan gave us a wonderful display of his dance moves from that night.  Wonder if he’ll get his groove on again tonight.  Hope they tagged the dance portion of today’s show for an upcoming best of.  Dan also brought out his 70’s DJ voice for the occasion. Smooth.  Too bad no cameras will be following him to the concert. 

Heard DP was coming and got their dogs

We love goodies
Someone couldn’t wait to literally rip into a new box of Shari’s Berries.  As it was said, it was as if either a dog or a four-year old at Christmas had opened the box.  Who was the culprit?  No it wasn’t Seton, who usually eats his share and more than that delicacy.  It was Paulie! Guess he’s not as perfect as we thought.

One Danette just couldn't wait 

Blinded by the hair
It was difficult staying focused on the topics today when the camera would show McLovin today.  You couldn’t help but stare at his three-tone hair – dark brown, medium brown and gray.  Maybe he should keep the hat on for a few more weeks.

Possible next look for McLovin? 

Caller can you save me?

Was it a Friday thing or has Dan just lost interest in Against the Grain.  Before McLovin could throw it to Seton for the closing music for the segment Dan decided to take a caller. Guess he was looking for something more interesting.

Caller, you better be good

Arcade Fire Tribute 
The tribute for this week went out today to the family of David Courtney, the announcer for the Angels, Clippers and Kings who died at the age of 56. No cause was given by the Kings, but Courtney had tweeted the day before he died that he was at a hospital awaiting an angiogram.

David celebrating his passion

Lupus steals a young life, NFL coach yard sale

The show came to you from the NYC vacation man cave - 

If you’re a former NFL head coach do you hold a yard sale?
Tony dungy doesn’t wear any of his Buccaneers or Colts gear or either of his Super Bowl rings.  Now I can understand not wearing the rings.  They’re big, they’re expensive and not something you’d want on your hand if you were washing the car.  But what about the clothing?  Ok, so you’re an analyst and you want to be objective.  I’m not saying wear it during interviews or while on air but you could still wear it while you’re cleaning your gutters, taking out the trash, lounging around watching pro-bowling or sleeping if you don’t go bare.  At some point his wife is going to say that stuff is taking up too much space in the closet or basement and it’s going to have to go.  Tony, whatever you don’t give to charity to auction off you can send my way.  Thanks – me

I'd look good in this sweet sweater vest

Does Fritzy have a ghostwriter?
Fritzy’s MNF song was good, really good, maybe too good.  Did he get help from his professional writing brother?  When confronted by Dan, he couldn’t produce the script. It was on his brother’s computer.  Hmmm  His brother’s computer.  His brother that lives and works in California and writes for a living computer.  We heard a letter from the brother saying he in no way had anything to do with the MNF song.  Things just aren’t fitting together.  Great MNF song, on brother’s computer, not Fritzy’s…something’s fishy in the aquarium.  Too bad his brother didn’t help Fritzy with today’s mock headlines.

Did an ugly truth about a MNF song come out?

“I don’t give a rat’s ass about USC” Drama
Jim Mora Jr. is still a big thing.  Why is he still a big thing?  Because he’s making a stink over words that came out of his mouth on DP’s show.  Jim you said it.  It was not taken out of context. It was not edited. Go to The Dan Patrick Show website. The full interview is posted for your listening pleasure. After you sit quietly in a dark room and listen to the words coming out of your mouth, take your lumps, don’t be a high school girl - put on your big boy pants, call DP and give him an apology for bad mouthing a Marconi winner. Oh, well.  So Jim won’t be back on the show by his choice.  His loss, not ours.

I.Did.Not.Say.Rat's.Ass Grrrr

McLovin Jealousy and Hair Paint

Who spent time with Dan during the Thanksgiving weekend?  Not McLovin.  Dan and his son and Seton and his son all got together during the long weekend and did what multi-generational males do. Whatever it was, it was the highlight of Dan’s weekend.   Once again there were no pictures. Just like a previous Thanksgiving Dan/Seton get together there was no photographic evidence.  A little odd since Seton is one of the shows Twitter kings. In a move to shift the attention back to him, McLovin will have a painted hair reveal on Wednesday.  The blogger, who truly wants to be a talking hair do, thought his hair paint over the weekend didn’t go so well, had Dan look at it in private and got a two day hat permit.

Mani's, spray tans, paint -
so high maintenance

Fritzy’s Sharp Left Pervy Turn
In some crazy attempt to become relevant in the conversation about McLovin’s hair paint and how the camera shows your flaws - Fritzy contributed:  “TV adds a few inches”, “I’ve had some alone time in the back”, “Sometimes I hang out with the cleaning lady and we play cards”, “That (the groan from the back) was from the person who deals cards when we play strip poker”.  What goes through this man’s head while the show is in progress is amazing sometimes.

Not my idea of a great
strip poker view
