Mike and Mike in the Morning

Mike and Mike has been a long-running daily sports-talk show hosted by Mike "Greeny" Greenburg and Mike Golic. Unfortunately the show is declining due to a marked increase in banality. Greeny suffers from a form of narcissistic personality disorder and spends an estimated 26% of the show's NFL talk time discussing the NY Jets--a topic consistently lower in public interest ratings than many of the league's other 31 teams. Production values are good. Content pattern is repetitive and frequent self-promotion and product promotion by the hosts diminishes credibility. Shows decline reflects the general trend of the sports entertainment giant ESPN.

Whether you just listen or watch, this show is incredible. Mike Golic and Mike Greenburg play off of each other so well. Their arguments are interesting yet honest, and they have a good understanding of everything they talk about. Each day, they have several guests on the show, all big names with lots to stay. They're funny without being desperate and all laughs come naturally. The interaction through emails is refreshing, and it is not difficult to sit for hours to listen to these two men talk. Whether it's Greenburg making fun of Golic for his weight or Greenburg cracking on himself for being feminine, everything they do is done in positive ways. There is a certain familiarity to the show once you watch it enough, and you feel like you know them. They make you feel comfortable, and by bringing up the same jokes again and again, you feel almost included in the show.

This is quiet enjoyable it is the best thing ESPN has and it is a quiet good tandem, for anyone that does not like it your opinion but I strongly disagree their opinions are honest and the show has grown very popular as is seen after Mike and Mike got to cover the Monday Night Doubleheader if you saw their Sports Center special that was awesome and the great part is you always agree with one of them and always disagree with one of them, sometimes they may agree but the way one says makes sense the way the other one says it makes more sense, although I like Golic more. This is a great show and every sports fan that needs their daily cup of sports should watch.

You'll like this show if you're one of those guys who enjoy to listen to sports talk shows on the radio while driving or just simply watching in the morning at home.

Shows like SportsCenter are good for highlights and breaking news but Mike and Mike is better to discuss upcoming games where you have 2 guys discussing what is going to happen in the game and why they will.

It doesn't hurt that Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic have great chemistry and play off each very well. Most normal radio sports show at least in my market are good but if they mostly concentrate on the local teams. If you more of a national show about the sports overall then you have to go with Mike and Mike.

"Mike & Mike in the Morning" is Painfully Unfunny, Indeed too much Lame Humour. Maybe they have Decent Insight in the "Sporting World" But the Constant Attempts at Comedy Spoils whatever Sports Information/Insight they may have, And also "Mike & Mike in the Morning" is a "Radio Show" Yet it runs on ESPN2 As well,and they play for the TV Viewers with their "Sight Gags" and they basically ignore their radio listeners (If they have any radio listeners) The Show is nothing special, However I'm not a "Sports Radio" Fan..Maybe what they do is common in the Sports Show Format, Well, if it is the norm I can't understand why sports radio is popular. The show is a bore mainly,The guests are interesting sometimes, that is if the guests have anything interesting to say(which is rare) ..
