I don't think any of these guys are Rhodes Scholars. Just guys giving opinions like they are at their boys crib talking shit. Next thing they know, their opinions are being ridiculed on social media and they are being added to the Coon Catalog.

Go Figure - HNIC

they have said PUBLICLY for YEARS

they don't call, text or hang out.

the ANTI - Mike and Jemellle

but they brothers.

ESPN really better be right about this.
Yeah, Mike and Jemele genuinely like each other as people. They talk and hang out all the time and it works for their chemistry. Mike and Mike however have an on-and-off chemistry, kind of like a light switch. When they are on set everything's cool, but when they leave they don't talk again till the next day when the cameras are rolling

Nick's only issue is that he is too team LeBron and because of this, has blind spots when it comes to the NBA at times. He had to fully come to terms with how wrong he was about the Warriors. It's okay to be wrong and give wrong opinion takes but his opinions were not centered around facts... just his overwhelming love for LeBron.

Just because the Warriors have a Monster team does not take anything away from Lebron being a really great player. The problem with Todays take, is that "if this then that" metality.

Both ESPN and FS1 were basically saying this:

"If Lebron wins this title, then the argument can be made about him being the greatest, but if he looses the title series, he is a bum???" That does not hold water.

And then the guest host crying over seeing the FAMILIES of the murders OJ allegedly committed?

But those BLACK FAMILIES witnessing MURDER by police officer on VIDEO?

Man they might as well Cancel the show now.. Mike Golic isn't even attempting to talk to Greeny when they go to commerical breaks.

@fonzerrillii after watching both Mikes with other host I have come to the conclusion that Mike Greenberg's show will be a success and Golic's will be hit or miss. Greeny is a smart dude and he looks at topics form different angels and usually asked the question that's on my mind.

Golic is an Alpha male and it looks like he is being paired up with a wanna be Alpha and doesn't seem to be working. We will know soon enough.

The good new is Cris Carter and Nick Wright's show "First Things First" starts September 5th.

Have you heard him with Trey though?

Golic sounds angry irritated and pissed...he CONSTANTLY takes shots at the suits at ESPN

and damn

even Trey sounds like he KNOWS this is destined to fail.

whats really sad is these 2 men had one of the best marriages on TV/Radio...

it wasn't PERFECT

but it was PERFECT for ESPN, The audience and them.

this is just a dumb decision.

I've always complimented Greeny people sleep on how HARD it is to do what he does for hours e5 days a week +

he is a masterful majordomo.

but He is out kicking his coverage.

I hope it DOES work, but I have no confidence it will

I have SEEN him try this before...more than once.

They gave him a game show, battle of the network stars, he had events where he did one on ones with Kobe etc, they had a Monday Football show...

he just isn't THAT guy

and there is NO shame in that.

Sometimes you just got to get in where you fit in.

I think the issue with Greeny is... will he have a co-host. I just don't know if I can take 2 hours of just Greeny. He needs someone to play off of. The other issue with Greeny is that the things that work for him are his reactions to social media questions and reactions. I just need to see how the show is going to be formatted.

You see this is where I understand when people hate on Greeny.

Saying he a the worst kind of liberal racist.

Right now he is trying to sh*t on Lebron defending I. Thomas against the fan burning his jersey.

Now Greeny copping pleas

He is claiming twitter and social media is especially from fans isn't real. It's just one person.

Bullshit

This is how white folk try to justify all those racist youtube comments. Sports fans police shootings and alt right nazi marches.

It's just one person a small group they don't represent us.

But see Greeny...they do.

Don't tell someone how or when they respond to being attacked.

Cause if Lebron said nothing?

How is that helping?

Yall be the first one to criticize him.

By the way how Ryen Russillo doing?

Am I the only one who thinks undisputed is hard to watch :dunno:

It seems like every topic is about Tom Brady, the New England Patriots, ezekiel elliott, Dak Prescott, The Dallas Cowboys or Odell Beckham Jr.

It would be alright if it was every few days, but every damn day. Today I just had to say fuck it. :curse:

You have to take into account that they are on the air 2.5 hours Monday through Friday. There are not that many interesting topics to cover for that length of time everyday and it will start getting repetitive during the week. Most the NFL actions happens Sunday so by Tuesday they have covered most of the interesting topics by then. They don't talk much MLB cause no one cares and the NBA is just about to begin camps in a week or 2.

I give them a shot everyday. I like Skip and Shannon, but after 2 topics about the Cowboys, then they tease about how good is the Dallas Cowboys defense. I'm gone for the day.

Just Venting :(

His Mom had 7 kids before she turned 25... Wow. His family has had some demons which he broke free from through football. I hope his son doesn't continue to let those family demons fester within him like they have already.

Friday is the end of an era Fam. The show started in January 2000. I was 19 years old. I was a junior in College. I’ve watched this show almost every weekday since then. This fucking sucks..... when I wake up my TV is already on ESPN 2.

:crying:



No more Golic and Greenie bets.
