Classic mix up: Texas senator Dan Patrick and sportscaster Dan Patrick get mistaken for each other
Sportscaster Dan Patrick received a lot congratulations last week. His problem: they were for something he didn't do. A different Dan Patrick won the runoff in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor of Texas.
"I got a lot of emails congratulating me," the sportscaster said on his radio show last Wednesday. "Apparently I won the Republican candidacy for lieutenant governor of the great state of Texas. Got my picture on the local news in Houston. Not one but two TV stations had my picture up, saying that I had won. And then I realized it was the Texas state senator. I’m not that Dan Patrick.”
That Dan Patrick joined the sportscaster for an interview on the aptly named Dan Patrick Show.
"I get your email all the time," the sportscaster said. "They’re angry at you and I don’t know how to respond."
