That is my biggest issue with LeBetard, although I am entertained by the show as a whole.

He cherry picks text and tweets to prove how smart he is, and no one on the show generally challenges him.

His interviews are pretty solid though. The Tyson interview a few years ago is hilarious.

I remember when these two guys called a Monday night football game. It was freaking terrible.

Just the fact that this show lasted so long tells me that people put up with mediocrity.

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

Mike Greenberg: Hey Golic, you're a big dumg jock doofus!

Mike Golic: Hey Greenie, you're a little dweeb nerd!

And that is the extent of Mike & Mike's programming.


Hence, the nickname "Matzah Ball and Meathead".

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


This

His work crushed the majority of ESPN's regular crews

My dad too. A bunch of old white dudes carried those ratings I guess. For at least the last 8 years, I couldn't make it for 2 minutes of that corny arse schtick. It's awful

Like many on here, I abandoned this show years ago. I just couldn't take Greenberg. He was always whining and would just take stupid positions as part of the shows failed attempt to generate discussion and controversy.

I couldn't stand it. And you're right, they will replace it with something equally as bad.

It's generic, national sports talk radio. They can't follow any team closely enough to get into niche and they can't afford to alienate the entire country by talking about just the Kansas City Chiefs or just the Miami Marlins.

I personally think the entire ESPN Radio lineup is god awful since Cowherd left. I like Coachman, but that's because he gets off the beaten path of "embrace debate" and hot takes galore to have some fun every now and then.
