OT: Mike & Mike

[amory]

have been discussing which teams have "swag" for the last hour.

After much deliberation they have decided that the Panthers and Warriors have swag, but the Spurs do not have swag.

God they are awful.

 

[MexicoHusky]

I don't know how that show is on. They are the worst. Watching mike & mike is like chewing a piece of gum for an extra two days after the flavor has been exhausted.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

They are terrible, never understood how real sports fans can watch that nonsense.

The key to every successful morning sports radio show is the less sports talk the more successful it is.

 

[Matt (Chicago)]

Both of them are complete blowhards who think their opinions hold way too much weight. The only redeeming quality of that show is the guests that they have on are generally good/relevant.

 

[tykurez]

That's the problem with national shows -- it's all bubble-gum chit chat. I actually like both of them, but the show is boring and "try hard."

 

[Waquoit]

They are so vanilla they give vanilla a bad name. With them, I can only last as long as takes to change the channel.

Randy Edsall loves the show.

My morning drive is the Steve Czaban show on Yahoo Sports Radio XM93.

They "get" the joke that their schtick is minimal sports or analysis.

 

[TRest]

There is nothing more cringe-worthy than Greenberg engaging in his ritual jock sniffing of every ESPN analyst. Unless it's pimping out their wives twitter accounts for followers.

 

[TasteofUConn]

How can one tire of multiple daily references to the one being unathletic and never having played any sport and the other liking to eat and not being particularly intelligent, punctuated by campy promotions of whatever product they are pimping? Gold Jerry! Gold!

 

[gtcam]

They should just add another and rename it "Mike, Mike and Dookie V" and become a complete farce

You underestimate just how stupid the average sports fan really is. And I'm not being arrogant. Just listening to some of these people drops your IQ 10 points.

 

[specialisthusky]

Mike Greenburg makes me irrationally angry. Like everything he says makes me want to punch him in the face irrationally angry. I'm not an insane person - but that show somehow brings it out of me. I (rationally) stopped listening about a year ago and now listen to Morning Men on Mad Dog Radio.

 

[JSM1970]

Is this the show from DC area? I have heard one from that area and it was good, not a ton of sports stuff.

I can tolerate Greenberg, but hate Golic. Golic acts like he is a NFL HOFer and his kids are relevant in sports.

ESPN Radio gentlemen.

 

[PcketknfNiels]

Any Boston fans listen to Toucher & Rich? I don't mind them, they're like a self aware Mike & Mike if they weren't just blowhard interpromotional shills.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Yikes....lots of disdain for M&M on here. I don't mind them. They are entertainers...they don't pretend to be experts. Since this is the hoops board, they probably get more grief here because college hoops is not in their wheelhouse. But I don't think they put on a bad show.

 

[Bezzz]

I can tolerate Mike and Mike but the show that follows is unlistenable to me --Dan Le Batard with Stugotz. The guy argues and yells for three straight hours. I'm on NPR during that drive time.

I miss Colin Cowherd. There, I said it.

And FWIW I reached total equilibrium with the post/like ratio and may have to sit here for a while.

98% of Boston talk radio (and 90% of sports media) is sh_t. imo

Only a few guys I can listen to on the radio. Scott Zolack, Jerry Thornton, another guy I forget.

Cowherd is great.

Keep chasing the elusive 1+:1 like to post ratio.

Bump. 1:1

 

[Northbound]

M+M complete tools

Greenberg one of the biggest d-bags at that company based on my interactions with him.

By the way how the hell does Golic's kid have an on-air gig on ESPN Radio. I about crashed my car when I heard him as I scanned around the dials this weekend.

 

[The Viking]

He should have been given the Russert treatment.
When your old man croaks you get a crappy gig on some side station

 

[The Viking]

One of the things that pisses me off about the show is that it's 90% football.

The World Series could be going on but they will spend the majority of the show talking about two-a-days
