    Most of you in Houston know 610 went to ESPN radio beginning this week. ESPN's Dan Patrick must be throwing us a bone by having Franchise on TODAY DURING THE 3pm HOUR.

    This should be good because Patrick is a good interviewer.

    Tune in now then discuss.

    Patrick: You guys got thumped by everyone
    Steve: Not four times in a row (referring to the Kings)
    Patrick: Yeah, but you got thumped by the Lakers, by the Spurs and by the Kings.
    Steve: ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
    Patrick: chuckle, chuckle

    Classic!

    1. talking about the playoffs. can learn people's tendency.

    2. Dan Patrick says Playoff are boring???? Francis says the East sucks.

    3. Francis says some players try to do too much

    4. About the Lakers. boring

    5. About who can beat the Lakers. boring

    6. DP says we got smashed by the three teams that Francis predicted

    7. Barkley statement: SF asked him what is the big deal? Totally thinks that Barkley was exaggerating. SF was in shock to see it in print. SF being nice and courteous, but said he wouldn't call Barkley.

    8. Says stuff about Charles personality is to say stuff like this. Larry Bird wouldn't (Dan Patrick brought him up).

    9. Do you have season tickets to Houston Texas: boy this is boring!!!

    football...blah blah blah
    football...blah blah blah

    10. Destiny's Child ... blah blah blah

    11. DP she likes guys who make the playoffs. SF: yeah, so until I make it, I guess I'll just stay at home.

    12. Will he give Rudy advice: Sure, if they will listen. We really need an immediate-impact player.

    13. Playing NBA Live: blah blah blah Francis plays Shaq

    Dan Patrick is going for the fun interview, I guess. SF is very comfortable with him, for sure.

    14. MVP is Tim Duncan.

    15. Health is a lot better. It was real tough not knowing where my headaches came from. <b>Will go to Mayo Clinic next month.</b> Didn't want to do it in the season.

    16. DP: You are supposed to give headaches, not get them.

    DP said he was so intent on getting a date with Destiny's Child. DP said he talked to her, and "she didn't know who he was"?

    So 610 is now on the ESPN format. Is Jim Rome still on? I guess I'll find all of this out after I come back from school. I just want to know, do they have better jingles than the whole "sporting news... radiooooo!!!"?

    610's still with Rome from 11-2, but they've decided to join the ESPN Radio network for their non-local stuff now...

    The Dan Patrick show kind of sucks...

    LOL! Man i remember watching that on TV a long time ago...That was some funny funny funny stuff. Rome looked a lot different back then. Why did Jim mind that so much? I mean if it really hacked him off why did he go on Rome's show? And do you guys think that Rome was seriously just joking with him or was he trying to be mean spirited?

    Another thing: What happened to Jim Everrett?

    I just watched it again, and have one more question...How in the HELL did Rome ever get the big stars to come on his shows again after this?

    Sorta weird...they still had Sporting News radio on late last night but ESPN on during the day. I don't mind the Patrick show...better than hearing the local goofs day after day. The only thing I don't like is that it is taped...it airs live when Rome is on so they tape delay it.
