The end of one of the longest-running partnerships in sports radio is coming soon. SI.com has learned via multiple sources that ESPN executives are moving forward with the plan to shift Mike Greenberg—one half of the long-running Mike & Mike radio show on ESPN Radio—into a new role as the lead host of a television show that would air in the mornings on ESPN. The new show will have elements of SportsCenter—which currently airs at that time—as well as a traditional morning show. It is expected to be based in New York City.
The new program would put an end to end to Greenberg’s on-air partnership with Mike Golic, which began in October 1998. Mike & Mike currently airs weekdays on ESPN Radio from 6–10 a.m. ET and is simulcast on ESPN2.

Quite possibly the worst talk show in the history of sports. Two boobs who know nothing.

They are so zany though. They throw pies and eat hot wings when they lose bets!

When exactly did Mike & Mike take a dive? Or did it always suck? Around 2004, I was working in a warehouse and actually enjoyed ESPN Radio. Mike & Mike, The Herd had just started at that point, and then the GOAT Dan Patrick after that.

Ill never forget when I realized they didn't know shite, when they were doing their "Two A Days" when going over 2 NFL teams. They spouted some shite about the Saints that was so off the wall I Realized how awful they were. This was like 8 years ago and I don't think ive listened to them since.

About time. That show was pathetic. And who's gonna tune in to see Greenberg host a TV show?

Over time Greenberg began to get more and more politically correct to where he never wants to take a side on anything controversial. His non-takes on a sports type radio show gets annoying when he plays both side of the fence. Golic is just flat out awful at sports radio. I predict his angle on every issue because it begins with "as a former player..." then some macho canned response about back in his day.

I hope they move Golic to announcing college football games. I was actually impressed with his calling of bowl games.

So it sounds like Golic might be staying in the time slot? Just getting him a new co host?

It's is the perfect background noise for me as I am making breakfast and getting ready in the morning. I don't have to listen intently and just pick up on a few things here and there. Plus the broads they have on aren't bad to look at in the a.m.

I'm not bashing espn. I love the lebatard show and I know that isn't a popular opinion on here. Mike and mike is terrible.

If you treat his show as a pure sports radio show then I agree. But his show is like 10% sports talk and 90% entertainment based.

Wonder if they bump Mike Jr into that slot to co host?
