[playahaitian]

I fucking hate greeny

He's an estrogen monster. Just listening to that bitch will make your testosterone levels drop. From the posts in here, it sounds like they gave her a version of the View to run.

What I think is frustrating is we have have ALL seen them try NUMEROUS times to accommodate Greenberg with his own nfl show, game show etc...

he sees himself as Costas and Seinfeld...

he is NOT

but he has a VERY unique and extremely rare and valuable skill

he is a PERFECT ringleader mojordomo wingman

forget all the whiney voice bad dancing sh*t

he is a damn near perfect voice behind the mic

he CONTROLS that show

he always gets in and out on time, gets his read, controls the discussion, asks GREAT interview questions, allows everyone to speak and can go off the cuff at the DROP of a hat.

Real talk ask ANYONE who works on TV or the stage or radio just how DIFFICULT that stuff is...

he seamlessly uses social media breaking news and incorporates or creates a WHOLE NEW RUNDOWN off that.

you gotta respect it.

Man youre overrating Greeny. Wingo does just as good of a job and you don't even miss greeny when he's gone. Hell I think the radio show is going to be better without Greeny and his meterosexual bulshit

 

[playahaitian]

for what's it worth I enjoyed this show.
it was the soundtrack of my morning I got real job getting ready in the morning and on my commute.

perfect off couple and though ppl complained they appealed to hardcore fans like me and casuals like my wife & mother in law.

golic and Tre will be fine
but Greenberg maybe doa. he doesn't have the personality to carry a morning show. That's why they brining in Beadle and Jalen.

not only is Mike and Mike dead, but what does this mean for Jalen and Jacoby show?

they BETTER not mess that up

 

[Amajorfucup]

Sincerely hope the show is finally over so this thread can die.

damn...

I aint even a fan of his...

but I really learned to appreciate that stuff as time when on

and EVERYBODY in the business says the same about him.

He was on ESPN 2 for a reason. He was no Dan Patrick. He was no Colin Cowherd. Those guys are great at Radio. He's good but he's very replaceable

I cannot agree with the Cowherd one.

 

[jasonblacc]

Man cowherd is fucking awful

Only good ESPN radio show is Dan Lebatard and sometimes Bomani

You're both right.. The guy is talented. But he isnt special. And yea, as much as i detest Cowherd that cac is dam good at radio.

 

[playahaitian]

Bomani is REALLY good on the radio fam (IMO) and his podcast is excellent

he has VASTLY improved on TV, which is NOT his strong point

I'm rooting for him but I'm not sure about this new show.

 

[jasonblacc]

His podcast is great and when he’s with dan he’s excellent but IMO he can’t carry a show buy himself. Shannon helps but he doesn’t have the personality.

 

[playahaitian]

His podcast is great and when he’s with dan he’s excellent but IMO he can’t carry a show buy himself. Shannon helps but he doesn’t have the personality.

you mean a radio show?

but Lebatard got a CAST of characters plus Stugotz EVERY DAY on his show.

So basically he can't carry it alone either, right?

Same for DanPatrick

And trust me I give Cowherd credit (Mike Franscea on WFAN too)

to talk shit ESSENTIALLY alone for 2/3 hours everyday?

Is impressive and a skill and a a talent

but I aint listened to him in YEARS (and SAS) cause I can't stand not only HIM

but anyone associated with his show

and I'm not alone.

Saw what you want about Greeny, he doesn't illicit that type of emotion (which I thought is EXACTLY what ESPN wants in that slot)

 

[jasonblacc]

Yea radio show

You’re right. I don’t to much like dan I like the show. The mike dude is really the star. Dan knows he can’t either that’s why he has so many guest. Mina, Sarah, Dominic, and Pablo.

 

[playahaitian]

these guys on now are awful.

Damn they make Mike & Mike sound like masters of the form.

 

[fonzerrillii]

The new Golic & Wingo show is not bad.

Just a couple issues but so far Wingo is working fine. It is nice to have two knowledgeable football guys on and not just Golic. The test will be what the show going to be like when football is over.

Do have a couple issues...

Why couldn’t they use the new mike & mike studio? (Is it just me of are they using the Old Old mike & mike studio when it was a radio show)

They need to do something with this studio because when they have a guest on... Wingo is just barely on the screen.


Also what the fuck is going to happen with this show when Greenie’s show starts up, cause I think Sportscenter is going to Espn 2. Will this show be pushed to Espnnews?

Man Greenie’s show doesn’t stand a chance


They are probably going to have some morning DJ in the studio... to Greenie some edge

What's up @fonzerrillii
I agree the new show is a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be, I'm surprised and glad. I'm a Golic fan.

I read that they were going to go back to what Mike and Mike were when they started, a radio show that is on TV vs a TV show that is on radio.

I'm still a First things First kind of guy, but at times I have to change channels because the recycle too many of the same story lines.

I JUST came in to post the same exact sentiments

Mike jr just there to steal those Disney checks

and I aint mad at all

Pssst....Greeny?

You know you done f*cked up right?

Mike Jr. might as well walk into the studio with a gun
but as parents we all want to put our kids in a good situation, so like you, I'm not mad at him

@fonzerrillii @HNIC


And even though he did another voice on ESPN dirty?

Golic Jr is doing a good job

I understand the repetition of the headlines is because they national and listeners come in and out

but I this was one of Greenys talents

I NEVER felt that with him

he RAN that show from top to bottom to make damn sure it kept moving and could change the ENTIRE tenor in a moments notice

No matter how much of a hater someone is?

they GOTTA respect just how difficult that is to do.

but honestly?

this change was STILL completely unnecessary...

Are YOU really gonna make a point of listening to THAT show?

ESPN already got ATH PTI First Take Highly questionable Bomani and Pablo new show Intentional Talk sportsnation the jump coast to coast

and I am sure I am forgetting something...

Where the HELL they gonna fit ANOTHER show?

Yeah I’m trying to get into First things first... I’m a Chris Carter fan but you are right. They recycle the same stories and I don’t feel like i get that Football insight that I get use to get from Mike & mike. Now with Wingo and Mike Jr.... you got three football guys. Also Mike & Wingo’s show is more laid back and chill. Which is what I like in the mornings when I’m getting ready.


By the way.... the search for a new coach for My TENNESSEE vols has reached epic levels of comedy. This is fucking embarrassing.

 

[fonzerrillii]

Mike Jr... be just sitting there chilling

And it’s funny as fuck to me because when he is on... Trey is 2 seconds from being cut off the screen. If Trey was maybe 30 pounds heavier.. when would be seeing nothing more then shades of his grey head on the screen.

 

[gdatruth]

my issue with Golic Jr having the job is other than being a Golic he did nothing to earn it.

I like his new school approach( more open minded than his pops) more well spoken than many and has a sense of humor that appeals to younger demo. But how do you go from Notre dame to not catching on in the NFL to your syndicated radio show and featuring on the marquee radio (all the while ppl with more experience are laid off). Why is he on the NFL shows giving commentary when never played a meaningful game at that level.

I think espn doesn't plan on changing the Golic name on the show if and when senior steps away.

 

[fonzerrillii]

Side note.. so far I think the reason the new show is working cause it’s got his Lethal Weapon vibe to it.

Golic is basically playing the “Im too Old for this Shit” character

Wingo is the “Maverick, you don’t know what I’m going to do” Guy

And Mike Jr is Joe Pesci.

no bad
odd couple still is the best for duo on radio

but analogy does a great job describing the new dynamic

and remember Golic Jr. cohost got fired from his OWN show

that he was FORCED to share with Golic Jr.

then he was FIRED

Golic Jr. took over the show

and now Golic Jr, is getting a NEW SHOW

and Lundberg is STILL fired.

 

[gdatruth]

I like the Golics but text book example of white privilege. They didn't do anything wrong but jr was able to take advantage of his father's name recognition. But they aren't black hosts in position to do the same.

maybe in 20 years one Micheal Smith kids will get a nod. we always playing catchup and they complain when small strides are made.

 

[playahaitian]

could Greeny be thinking...

"I done f*cked up"

 

[fonzerrillii]

could Greeny be thinking...

"I done f*cked up"

Yeah so far... I don't miss Greenie one bit.

This actually reminds me of when Mike & Mike was just a radio show and I kind of forgotten how much I missed that.

co sign 100%

I really feel foolish about how much I hyped up Greeny skills

Wingo doing this AND NFL Live (I'm boycotting but I know he was always good on there)...

like its nothing.

And Jr getting his little extra check for like an hour worth of work.

respect to Golic, he played his hand masterfully.

Now ALL the pressure on Greeny which was ALREADY high?

Is even MORE.

 

[alexw]

One month later bump. this show sounds exactly like the old show without Mike Greenberg's metrosexual wimpy bullshit. He better pray his new show is a hit or he's done

There are 2 sport talk radio stations in philly. There is only 1 talent during the week, and another 1 during the weekend.
