I haven't listened to M&M in several months, but I was lucky enough to hear today's edition, which will surely go down as a classic.

Mike Greenberg spent at least five minutes comparing Matt Ryan to Peyton Manning.

I am not joking.

He went through their respective stats and playoff records through age 27. I can't go into detail in how lovingly he was talking about Ryan, since ghey porn is banned on TD.

If you missed it try to hear the podcast. A sports journalism masterpiece not to be missed.

Same thing man. I finally turn it on this week after several months and Greenberg is spending all this time pumping up Matt Ryan.. wtf. then goes on to say Atlanta is winning the division.

Season can't get here fast enough.

Here he goes on again how bad of a shape Atlanta was when Ryan came in.

Oh boo hoo.. Your shitty coach up and left you.. So what.. If anything Petrino leaving did Atlanta a favor.

Vince Young is a former NFL superstar?

Mike Greenberg should be in a straitjacket

Wait, did he really compare Matt Ryan to MJ? Holy shite. He actually compared the best player to ever play the game of basketball to a guy who maybe is a top 10 QB in the league and chokes every time in the playoffs. Wow.

He was saying things like "They say Ryan can't win the big one, well they said that about Michael Jordan in the early days too" etc

I'll take your word for it, but for him even putting the two in the same discussion.

Because we're freaking sick of ESPN freaking crowning Matt Ryan. They crowned his freaking arse all the way back to Boston College. They handed him the Heisman front runner status and he pissed it away. And he's been the next big thing in the NFL for what, 4 years in a row?

The only difference between Ryan and Romo is that Romo actually didn't choke one time against a shitty Eagles team in the postseason. Matt Ryan makes Tony Romo seem underrated, which I once thought was impossible.

At least they weren't talking about the Jets.

ESPN's agenda including Matt Ryan is a bit odd...they usually don't cater to Atlanta teams in any sport. From a half-hearted Falcons fan, he's a Top 10 QB, but also a choke artist. Doesn't really make many headlines.

I think this is more of Greenberg being a moron than an ESPN agenda. That show is full of suck.

There is an agenda. He's from Philly. He played college football in Boston. His dad played for the Jets. That's why they crowned his arse

I mean...its Mike Greenberg. The dude has no idea what he is talking about. Why is this thread worthy?

But honestly I never really hear then fawn over Matt Ryan...at least not nearly as much as they fawn over Drew Brees.

Drew Brees has won a playoff game.

Without a Hall of Fame TE, a Pro Bowl WR and RB, and an above average defense.

Sounds like ESPN is pushing Greenberg to become another Cowherd type i.e. come up with a ridiculous/edgy opinion and tell it as fact


stop listening to Mike and Mike, the last thing we need is another radio talking head like Cowherd
