Dan Patrick will exit ESPN

NEW YORK -- Dan Patrick, one half of the duo that helped bring "SportsCenter" to its snarky fame in the 1990s, will leave ESPN next month.

Patrick announced his departure on his radio show Monday from San Francisco, where he was originating his program from the site of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Patrick's last radio show will Aug. 17. It wasn't immediately clear when his last appearance on TV will be.

Patrick, 51, was a "SportsCenter" anchor from 1989 to 2006 as ESPN's signature show became synonymous with sports TV. Along with Keith Olbermann, Patrick rocketed to fame as the face of ESPN and served as models for the short-lived ABC series "Sports Night."
