You're made of much sterner stuff than I if this isn't a troll.
-Greeny talks a mile a minute so guests can barely get a word in edgewise and is obviously in love with the sound of his own voice
-Golic often takes contrarian views (to Greeny) that just feel made-up and did he mention he played at Notre Dame and his son played at Notre Dame? Of course he did, five times last hour
-And yeah, I get that they have to pay bills, but got damn I get sick of Greeny going to the Subway Fresh Take Hotline to talk to Mel Kiper or getting someone into the Mattress Firm chair on set to discuss the Pep Boys topic of the quarter-hour, we're having trouble hearing you can you move the AMC Theatres Invites You To a Special Preview of the new King Arthur Movie, in theaters Friday microphone?
I get the hate for boring stat-based sports talk radio but there's that on one end of the spectrum and then there's Mike & Mike on the other end. If on any network other than The Mother Ship they never would have lasted as long as they did. Hopefully something worthwhile comes in its place. Not sure how the two of them competing for ears on different stations will improve ratings but I guess we'll see.
