I listen to them for 2 or 3 minutes when Steve Czaban is on commercial.

So shotglass, at 5:01 Pacific yesterday morning, the Mike and Mike ahad a huge intro song about this "great" contest coming up: Which Mike will beat the other in the NCAA bracket. The loser has to do a wacky stunt, like Golic waring a USC thong, or Greenberg wrestling a dwarf. They had a song going, and people will call in with suggestions, web polls, etc.

My question to you is: Who gives a ****? Who are these people who care which one beats the other in a bracket challenge? People actually care if Golic has to wear something USC?

ESPN always defends their dreck like "Who's Now" by saying that fans love it. I would like to meet these fans. I really would like to talk to someone who cares about which mike beats the other in an NCAA bracket challenge. They don't seem like the type of sports fan I would relate to.

poin, you wouldn't relate to them.

You wouldn't relate to a lot of sports fans.

It's like watching movies. There's a suspension of disbelief. Joe Blow cares about this because ... he listens and makes it part of his day. That's all you need. You don't need anymore.

Journalists don't like to do this. This makes them no better and no worse than the people who do.

Hey, that was pretty good. It oughta be stickied.
