You won’t find many bigger Tim Tebow fans than Urban Meyer. There’s a good reason for that: under Meyer’s direction, Tebow authored one of college football’s great careers. So it was interesting to hear Meyer talk about the Broncos’ success today…and not lavish all his praise on his old quarterback.

Earlier today, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio joined Dan Patrick to share a conspiracy theory he has – albeit a rather believable-seeming one. You know how Archie Manning said his son Peyton and Andrew Luck probably shouldn’t be on the same team…then backtracked, saying he knew that Manning and Luck could coexist peacefully after all? Well, suffice to say, Florio thinks Archie Manning’s original remarks were the more accurate ones.

There’s a pretty good chance you can’t stand ESPN First Take mainstay Skip Bayless. That, of course, is just how he’d like it. His game is getting people to pay attention, no matter the kind of attention. One particular Bayless detractor, though, pushes the limits of those “any publicity is good publicity” standards.

The major focus in the disturbing child molestation story involving former Syracuse basketball assistant Bernie Fine story is rightly on his alleged crimes. But there’s another side to the story popping up: the story of how the story was covered, and why some details didn’t emerge sooner.

Arizona senator/former Republican presidential candidate John McCain stopped by Dan Patrick’s show earlier today, and while McCain was especially focused on advocating for HGH testing in the NFL, we were more interested in something he said before that.

Earlier this week, HBO’s Bryant Gumbel made a controversial comments regarding NBA commissioner David Stern.

Today on The Dan Patrick Show, MLB Network analyst Al Leiter came on to discuss the controversy surrounding an explosive article about the Red Sox’ late-season collapse.

But the Red Sox weren’t the most interesting thing Patrick and Leiter discussed. Instead, it was the possible uncovering of a little-known room in Shea Stadium that caught our attention.

During last night’s 30 for 30 documentary on reviled Cubs fan Steve Bartman, filmmaker Alex Gibney highlighted a funny moment on SportsCenter when a Howard Stern fan prank-called then-anchor Dan Patrick.

Of all the sportswriters fans love to pick apart, Rick Reilly may inspire the most venom. So much venom, in fact, that when another highly prominent media member, Dan Patrick, took a jab at Reilly today, it pretty much sounded like a compliment.

John Daly is an absurd human being. We’ve always been aware of this, but every once in a awhile the universe likes to remind us. Like when John Daly’s ex-wife details his sexual habits, or when John Daly decides to give an interview shirtless, or when John Daly’s pants decide to look like a wizard’s robe.

Today, the universe decided that it had been long enough since our last reminder about John Daly being absurd.
