Golic and Wingo

Back then it was a huge radio show that found an audience. Now that Mike Greenberg is out of it, MIke Golic is now with Trey Wingo for four hours of sports talk and whatever they can stuff the show into. It's not as good as other shows but it's still thriving and leads into the afternoon talk shows that usually dominated the ratings.

This was a big adjustment for me. I loved Mike and Mike and had watched and listened for years. When G&W first aired, everything seemed forced and visually it bothered me. Mike was sitting on the wrong side, the studio was downsized, the banter was forced, and I found myself not listening to the sports news. Now, I find that the two of them have figured it out and I am finally enjoying the show again. I switched over to First Things First (which is a great show and I am happy to have them broadcasting in the afternoon in my area). I did try watching Get Up and it's just too disjointed for me. I'm not that "UP" in the a.m. and I found most of the segments just silly - trying to be too trendy (or something). Felt bad about not liking it as I really enjoy Greenie but just not with the new crew.

Mike Golic you really have to stop touching your nose, it doesn't make for good viewing. Also, quit calling your crew idiots, not cool. Other than these negatives I like the show. I tried watching Get Up! but no thank you. It really isn't good in my opinion.

Golic Sr. has a too high opinion of himself. I hate it when he insults the staff. Wingo is just plain annoying...repeating himself like Dora the Explorer. Golic Jr. has no business on ESPN. His take simply isn't insightful or entertaining. I keep trying but find myself being more annoyed than entertained like the old days of Mike & Mike.

Wingo isn't very entertaining. I missed the witty commentary Greeny brought to the show and in his absence, Golic just doesn't shine as bright. With it moving to ESPNews in April, it's the beginning of the slip into retirement.
