I swear the stupidity and "scriptedness" of these shows is appalling.

They could have an "argument" over who is the greatest hockey player of all time is, and one of them would not pick Wayne Gretzky just so that they can have a debate.

ESPN wants it to be as bland and milquetoast as possible. It's all calculated.

The hosts are not supposed to inject themselves into the discussion, but Mike Greenberg can't go 10 minutes without talking about the Jets and Mike Golic does the same with Notre Dame, like we're all supposed to give a shite who their favorite teams are.

They care more about themselves than their audience. That's why I don't listen anymore.

Checks the station they work for, sees ESPN, knows the answer to your question is "Yes".

so weak and so vanilla and all it is is a vehicle to promote sponsors. No substance for real sports fans.

You are basing this on one viewing of mike and Mike? How would you know if they are any good? I thought you had no clue how their show is?

You acted like you were quite unfamiliar with their show and then you turned around and suggested to me that if I really like sports, I should avoid their show.

Which is it? You're either very familiar with their show; so much so, that you have formed an opinion that it's awful, or you aren't familiar and you're suggesting that I don't watch a show that you really know nothing about.

Far from it, just pointing out inconsistencies in the posts.

My bad, got you and the other fella mixed up on my phone.

Agreed they are pretty terrible, but I'm sure the OP already knew that.

I can stand listening to the show but every complaint in this thread is valid. I think I don't mind this show because as bad as it is it's still way better than most ESPN morning shows and our local sports programming in Arkansas. I like the Dan Patrick show more but it doesn't come on early enough.
