Todd Wright offers all the info, perspective and entertainment the aptly-named Dan Pugh provides. The two biggest differences are Wright doesn’t have to pay affiliates to carry his show, and you don’t feel the need to take a shower after listening like you do with his competitor.

I’m with the majority here – Todd is great. I loved his show on ESPN, and I still like it here (good for SNR). He and David Stein make a great 1-2 punch.

Dan Patrick? NAHHHH!!!!!!
