So I'm driving into work this morning and listening to Mike and Mike in the Morning and they bring in Mitch Albom to talk about the Tigers and the Series (which is funny enough in and of its self). But then "Greenie" starts talking and addresses him as "Mitch Al-BOMB" ... not once, but about four times. I almost had to pull over to the side of the road. I'm surprised the little fella didn't correct him on the spot.
 
ESPN is still waiting to see if the other person who listens to Mike & Mike complains.
 
Good point, Goalmouth. But the morning radio choices here in Detroit are pretty slim ... dumb and dumber or Mike and Mike.

Would much rather listen to Drew and Mike than Mike and Mike... Greenberg is annoying, feels he has to overexplain everything...

I think a Sirius radio should be in your future.
 
Mike Greenberg is absolutely the smartest, funniest person in his mirror every morning.
 
Greenberg is a smarmy little douchenugget, and Golic is so braindead from getting his teeth kicked in every sunday...

I'd say XM.

But really, as long as you get satellite, you're safe from such no-win choices as this.

Couldn't say it any better than that. Besides, he thinks he's good - looking, too. He looks like Chris Kataan's brother, but with 'ghoulishly - large' eyes. Biggest difference between Greenberg and Golic is Golic knows what he is, Greenberg doesn't. Like I said in another thread, Golic makes that show (I'm a former radio guy myself). If Greenberg did that show himself, he'd be off the air in 6 months max. But Greenberg probably thinks it's the other way around, and he's carrying Golic. That's what's so sad.

Don't have a lot of experience with the school, but do all of McGill's products have a big of a stick up their butts as Greenberg and Wilbon? It's really wearying. Wilbon's weekly WaPo chats are just structured name - dropping and PTI - teasing sessions. Notwithstanding he's been totally mealy - mouthed on Scoop v. Whitlock, which has been brought to his attention by chatters in repeated weeks. Reminds me of Jordan and his old "Republicans buy sneakers, too" comment. Man, I miss Wiley.
 
I enjoy those rare times when Mike & Mike talk about the Patriots and Tom Brady.
 
I kind of enjoy listening to Bob Golic... Greenberg's gotta go, which means ESPN will give him a contract extension

Yeah, it's like the old saying. The WWL "never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity" on making good calls in hirings and firings.
 
I thank XM everyday that I don't have to worry about these things.

I'm sure Bob will appreciate the nice words.

I have to agree with RoiSki and slappy. Golic makes this show listenable and watchable. That little metrosexual is too smart for himself.

Wilbon didn't go to McGill.

You sure about that, he's always talking about the McGill (sp?) School of Journalism at Northwestern University like it's the Holy Grail of Journalism? Maybe I just have the name wrong.
