Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick reunite and reflect on their time at ESPN | SportsCenter

[@Kevin01SH]

These 2 guys were not only professional, they were both very humorous! They made sportscenter worth watching.

[@mountains889]

key word "were" olberman is a joke now

Nostalgia. These two were the best of Sportscenter. Rich and Stuart were the other dynamic duo. Thanks ESPN for remembering good times.

[@ajs96350]

I remember, biggest mistake ESPN made was letting them go. Dan's radio show is very good.

[@michaelszewczyk9781]

They WERE the show. Only time that was case with Sportscenter. People I knew planned around the start of the Big Show. The show Sports Night had Dan and Keith's inspiration all over it. It was too bad Robert Guillome fell ill and then passed. His character was as strong as anyone on television that first season.

Legends in sports media. Wish they were still running things.

[@williamtasker895]

"And...the whiff..." SportsCenter and ESPN revolutionized television sports. And these two guys were the best ever. Props also to Kenny Mayne, et al. And I will never understand the hatred for Chris Berman. I miss those old days when I watched every day. I still listen to Dan Patrick in the morning as his voice is an underscore to life. Thanks for this magical moment.

[@JK-br1mu]

Berman's good, only freaks disliked him, like Jim Rome.

The Best Duo In American Sports TV Journalism History!

[@robinhaffner2077]

I love how these two are reflecting on the early days and how Dan brings up how they had a great owner back then, as if pretty much inferring that ESPN doesn't have that now. Cuz after all, Dan is right! ESPN was about sports back then, now it's more about the drama surrounding athletes and their lives off the court/field/etc. It sucks so bad now, i loved Kieth and Dan, and then adored the next duo almost as much, Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen, (i think that's how his name is spelled), who they took over as the new primary anchors for sports-center in the late 90's to early 2000's.

[@brushylake4606]

Wow...Sportscenter was a must watch every night for me. I haven't watched it in I don't know how long.

when I was nine year old I had surgery and it was Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick doing sports center and that was the first time I remember watching SportsCenter and I'm a huge fan of Keith and a huge fan of Dan Patrick's and I miss them both on television and miss them both on she's on the news and on Sports and same thing with Dan Patrick he they are both great at what they do and they are great storytellers and great people and I hope they're doing well wherever they are

I'm guessing there are young sports fans who will wax nostalgic about a certain podcast or YT channel but if you weren't there with Sportscenter in the early/mid 90's its hard to compare. What a cast of talent who worked their way to the moment! It was its apex, its final form.

[@charlesdjones1]

Once upon a time, ESPN could do no wrong. These two represent the best of those days. Sports Center used to play continuously from 8am-12pm in my home back in the day it was that good. Then... Stephen A. Smith showed up and it was all down hill from there. Haven't tuned back in since.

[@JK-br1mu]

I want to vomit thinking of ESPN being on for 16 straight hours....all those reruns of SportsCenter in the same day.......but no question, from what I recall of the late 90s Sportscenter, that seemed like the best era.

Back when these guys were on ESPN they actually talked about sports...now it’s nothing but stupid opinion shows and dumb takes

[@posysdogovych2065]

If the 90s version of SportsCenter were still a winning format in 2019, you can be certain ESPN would have stuck to it. But in an age where it's easy to find whatever highlights we want on KZbin and other websites, that's no longer the reality. I'm not a fan of opinion shows myself, but the days where SportsCenter could merely focus on highlights and post-game interviews and expect a large viewing audience are over.

[@ricebowl3]

[@sillygoose635]

lol stfu, they still talk about sports on ESPN, it's IN their name, those shows when done correctly are alright.

[@jimvo]

The young ones will never know how entertaining Sportscenter was in the 90's. It was just a different world, and you may watch KZbin clips, but its just not the same. You have to put yourself in a mindset of a world with no internet, and if youre young, its just not possible.

All the anchors back then had such charming personalities.

But they didn't have any charisma like the laundry list of stellar anchors from the 90s and 00s.
