Typical Dakich construction:

  1. "You're a child who doesn't know anything."
  2. "Now, I'm not saying you're a child who doesn't know anything, I'm just saying you're a child who doesn't know anything."

First time listening to Dan Dakich. What an arsehole.

 

"Alleged Rape coverup? Well that's just one thing. Player with a potential concussion sent back on field? Well that's just two things. I know nothing, I'm just rapping about shit I don't know anything about."

is and has always been a horse's ass?  He got an undeserved pass last year because of his son.  

With sincere apologies to Andrew--who we love.

Don't underestimate a seasoned radio/show host being able to talk both sides of a point and obfuscate to make their guests look bad.

Good practice for Brian, he'll need more of it to succeed in other public forums in the future.

Exactly.  They are professional arguers.  It really does not matter what the topic is.
 
I actually heard Dakich say the following during a basketball broadcast earlier this year:
 
"Don't look around to pass, take the ball to the rim.  Basketball is a simple game, don't make it harder that it is."
 
Later on, in the same game:
 
"Don't just take the ball to the rim, look around to pass.  Basketball is a simple game, don't make it harder that it is."

He fought Brian all the way, only to 100% agree with everything Brian said at the end. So...win?

Anyway, Brian's weekly podcasts are so much better just in terms of delivery and substance. How does anyone listen to sports talk schlock like Dan's show on any kind of regular basis and not have his brain leak out of his ears?

The problem is that Brian cares about being right.  Dakich does not care whether he is right or wrong, he just wants to be entertaining and get some zings in.
 
Brian is an educator.  Dakich is an entertainer.
 
Brian was caught thinking which slowed him down, like a freshman linebacker.  Dakich was just loudly and glibly blasting out stream of consciousness.   
 
Dakich:  Often wrong but never in doubt.  Makes for entertaining radio, but you've learned absolutely nothing.

Ok, that was the worst logic I've ever heard from Dakish.  "Other than all the terrible things that Brandon has done that has pissed of everybody, what has Brandon done that is bad".  I can see Dakish now on a jury: "well, other than shooting the guy in the face, what has he done that warrants any jail time?  I'm informed about the shooting of the face.  But what else?  It's probably because he just didn't win enough games."
