Get Up!

I simply don't get what ESPN thinks it is doing devoting even more airtime to the "hot" takes debate format that has been killing its ratings for years now.

The hosts are beyond unappealing. This clearly was a vanity project that Greenberg's agent must have blackmailed or begged management for. He has no presence and only a cursory knowledge of athletics after all these years in SPORTS BROADCASTING. Jalen Rose is just smug. Beadle had nothing to interact with. And she probably said what she said about not watching football to get thrown off the show before it dragged down her career. Sadly it is now just a revolving door of female fill-ins in shorter and shorter skirts.

In the morning, stick to the facts and highlights of the previous day's sports events. This show must be aimed at a demographic that needs to be screamed at in order to awaken them. Unfortunately, this show will put them right back to sleep.

This show has no future. Pull the plug. It is suffering.

I was a a huge Mike and Mike fan. A four hour a day listener as I work from home and it was always on. I have now tried to watch Get Up 4 times and I have never lasted more than 20 minutes. I can't stand Beadle and Mike seems like he is not himself and is drowning. Jalen is likable but just not as personable, insightful and relatable as Golic. I am not a troll and I wanted to like the show. It is HORRIBLE and needs to END asap. I have no idea what kind of testing, analysis etc went into putting this show together but ALL of those people should find other jobs.

Destroying Mike & Mike in order to create this dreadful mess was a mistake of epic proportions. The best way to salvage Get Up! is to bring Golic in recreate it as Mike & Mike 2. That would have the added advantage of rescuing viewers from tremendously annoying Trey Wingo.

I was anxious to see how Mike Greenberg and company would fare on the new "Get Up!" show on ESPN. I've tried to watch all week. I turn it on for a few minutes and I have to turn to another channel because it's so bad. They are not off to a good start and they're going to have to make some major changes to survive IMO. The chemistry isn't working, the content and flow of the show just isn't there.
