My advise is to not listen to Mike and Mike. Or any ESPN broadcast that isn't a live game. You'll be a better person for it

One is a homo; the other is a dumb jock. Listen to what they are going to say next on ESPN radio

The field isn't vey diverse either, but we all know they only care about diversity in one direction.

That idiot actually said "When someone says that 43% of the black head coaches in the NFL came from Tony Dungee's coaching tree, that is saying the rest of the black coaches are not capable"

HUH?? I'm not even sure what that means.
I thought it was just stating a fact.

So if we say that Adrian Peterson scored on 4% of his runs last season then the other 96% of the time he was worthless??

What a racist idiot!!

I thought the same thing as I listened the last two mornings, cause I used to love the show.

Yesterday Greenie was going on an on about the Rooney Rule so I changed the station and came back 10 minutes later hoping he was done....no still at it, so I gave up on them yesterday.

This morning I turn it on and they are talking about not enough minority managers and GM's in baseball, I changed and didn't come back this time.

Will give them another try tomorrow. I still like the show when they don't go there, but it's getting harder to find segments when they don't.

I've never understood the whining about "diversity in the NFL".

Do you really think these billionaire owners are going to forego a legit coach for a lesser coach just because he's black?

To my knowledge, there are 4 black head coaches in the league. that's 4 out of 32, which is 12.5%.

Any guesses on what percent of the population is black in this country? 12.3%

So no, blacks are not under-represented among NFL head coaches.

My first thought, Mike and Mike are still on the air? Who listens to them?

This morning they were debating which sport was the most popular and used attendance as a model for showing that baseball wins.

Think about that.

Mike and Mike were not debating anything this morning. And they were using average attendance not overall attendance. I swear you guys hear what you want to hear then run to post anything negative about ESPN you can.

Mike and Mike while bland, is a cash cow for ESPN and will not be going anywhere anytime soon.

I enjoy Mike and Mike.

Its just the cool thing to bash ESPN right now.

Apparently every single show on ESPN sucks balls, yet they are still making money and a shite ton of people are still watching.

Not sure about a cash cow, but Greenberg is one geeky frick. I have zero use for his opinion on PRO athletes . He has NEVER played any pro sport yet seems to think he can cut down pro players. One day someone will hurt him. The same with Screaming A. Smith.

Is that really the right way to look at it when basically every coach is a former player?

Doesn't seem logical IMO.
