Dan Dakich lost a ton of money betting on the NCAA Tournament. To make up for what he lost, the controversial ESPN broadcaster and sports talk-show host opted for a new job. He’s delivering food.
Dakich has actually been bringing people food with DoorDash for a few months.
“I come from iron and steel workers, teachers, and I lost sight of the value of a dollar,” Dakich told barrettsportsmedia.com. “I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and I told my wife I had to make it up. Seriously, I went to the hardware store about a mile from my house and applied for a job, because I wanted to make the money back. I owe my family and I lost the value of a dollar.”
Dan Dakich discovered that his stepson was earning up to $25 an hour delivering for GrubHub, so he took up a similar job to “punish himself.”
Dakich is still doing it four-to-five times a week.
“My wife called me an idiot and said I didn’t have to do it but I wanted to because I’ve preached the value of a dollar to so many people,” Dakich said.

Dakich, who was accused of misogynistic actions after getting into a Twitter dispute over compensation for college athletes, is not sure about his future at ESPN.
“I don’t know if ESPN is going to have me back. I assume they won’t,” Dakich said on his show. “Who cares? Who cares man?”
