BREAKING NEWS: Dan Patrick Joins Football Night in America

In an announcement being made as I write this, NBC Sports Emperor Dick Ebersol has announced that Dan Patrick will join the cast of Football Night in America this season.

Ebersol says Patrick will be re-united with former ESPN co-anchor Keith Olbermann. Patrick says he was interested in going back to TV and approached Bob Costas if he could talk to Ebersol. Then the ball got rolling and agreements were made.

Costas and Cris Collinsworth will remain as co-hosts as will Tiki Barber and Jerome Bettis as the analysts.

Patrick will join Olbermann to do highlights. This becomes quite a crowded show for one hour.
