ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS CALL: PATRICK WANTS TO GO ONE-ON-ONE

          ESPN anchor Dan Patrick wishes members of the media had
     sought him out before criticizing his appearance in a Coors
     ad campaign, according to Milton Kent of the Baltimore SUN.
     Patrick: "I did something for a major sponsor, for a Hall of
     Fame athlete, and I would do it again.  I don't want to be
     told I shouldn't do something.  I'm a grown man."  More
     Patrick, on the media criticism he received: "I thought
     there were some people [who] would at least have some give
     and take to understand it or at least call me.  If you call
     me and dissect me, that's one thing.  But a hit and run? 
     That's not fair."  In Baltimore, Milton Kent writes, "On
     that part of the issue, Patrick is entirely right, and it
     won't happen here again" (Baltimore SUN, 9/14).
