About Dan Le Batard in brief
Daniel Thomas Le Batard is an American sportswriter, radio host, and television reporter based in Miami, Florida. He also did work with ESPN, and for his hometown paper, the Miami Herald, for which he wrote from 1990 to 2016. He hosts a daily radio show with Jon Weiner that originates from WAXY in Miami and is carried nationally on ESPN Radio.

On September 13, 2018, Miami Herald reporter Greg Cote published an article announcing that Dan had become engaged to his girlfriend of two years, Valerie Scheide. The article was published without the couple’s consent, which caused great embarrassment for LeBatard as he was on the air at the time the news broke.
He and Scheide were wed in November 2019 at a ceremony in Miami. In December 2020, he announced that he would be leaving ESPN, effective January 4, 2021. He often writes about controversial topics, especially race. On his radio program may be asked questions ranging from the racial undertones of the Michael Vick case to the effect that race has on how players are drafted into the NBA.
