Here is how we know ESPN hates people with cancer: if you want to donate money to The V Foundation, you're forced to hang out with the likes of Colin Cowherd and Mike & Mike. More »

If you tuned in to the ambient noise of the ninth circle of hell this morning, you heard Stephen A. Smith on Mike and Mike talking about LeBron James. And why yes, he did throw some shit at the wall. SportsGrid has the audio, as well as this summary: More »

Sports talk radio, of the aired-on-television variety: still going strong! We would prefer to just leave it at that, and to let you reach your own conclusions about how Mike Greenberg came to wear white jeans and a Bieber wig. Maybe it's just in his nature. More »

After 20 emails, ESPN readers are confused as to why Golic and Greenberg are trying to coax them into entering a contest for a chance to win, what appears to be, two snakes 69-ing on top of a diamond. [ESPN.com] More »

Yesterday morning, while on set in Miami, Dan Patrick half-jokingly invited ESPN's Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg to come on to his show. Greenberg declined, but Golic gleefully obliged. Technically, ESPN personalities are forbidden from appearing on competing shows. CHAOS. More »

It's a Mike Golic. The "Mike and Mike" show now has its own website and is running daily photo caption contests for their listeners and ESPN readers. (No Facebook direct connectedness is available. Yet.) The comments have so far been predictably ESPN commenter-like. Observe: More »

I think it would be a really compelling episode of Mike & Mike in the Morning if Golic, followed by a handheld camera, were to go down to the South Bend police station to bail out his son, Mike Jr. The lad was arrested for drinking at a party, along with other members of the Notre Dame football team, on Saturday night.

Bonnie Bernstein, everybody's favorite Jersey sideline reporter, has had a relatively quiet couple of years at ESPN. That is, until a couple of days ago, when she made a bit of a verbal misstep on the Mike and Mike show. More »

Last Friday night, they held that "Mike And Mike Celebrity Roast" thing in Atlantic City. It was about as entertaining as you'd expected it to be, according to the Press Of Atlantic City. (No offense to Trey Wingo, but when you host half the show, and the other half is hosted by Jeffrey Ross, you're in trouble.) But we're not here to talk about Mike And Mike, or the Roast. We're here to talk about Dana Jacobson. More »

On January 11, 2008, you're likely to still be recovering from Dennis Kucinich's stunning wins in Iowa and New Hampshire on his way to become the 44th President of the United States. So there's not much better way to clear your cluttered mind than to attend the Mike and Mike Celebrity Roast. More »

We ask with genuine curiosity: Who in the world puts a Fathead on their wall? What started out as an odd marketing campaign with Ben Roethlisberger screaming at us to "get a Fathead," or "be a Fathead," or whatever, has clearly grown into ... well, a larger marketing campaign. We've never quite seen such an advertising push for a product the world would seem to have no desire for. We're not a parent, so help us out: Would kids like this or something? We mean very, very young children. More »

All right, we'll tell you right now: This is a terrible idea. Not only have we been up since 4:15 this morning, but we're also in the odd position of attempting to type non-stop, for three hours, about the season opener of a team for which we have an emotional connection. And we're going to do it while watching Mike Greenberg, Mike Golic and Mike Ditka. What could possibly go wrong? It's The Buzzsaw visiting the 49ers, and it'll be over around 1:30 a.m. ET. It is time to light this proverbial candle. After the jump. Email us with your thoughts. More »

The sun is shining these days on ESPN radio host Mike Greenberg. He's on the backup team for "Monday Night Football," he's got a wacky "Everybody Loves Greeny!" book on the shelves, he's introducing spelling bees on network television and he's the official face of Arena Football, for better or worse. Everything's coming up Greeny! But that said, the guy always needs a helping hand from his fans. More »

All told, we think we gave Mike and Mike too hard of a time on the whole spelling bee thing. They weren't so bad; maybe they toned down the schtick for ABC. Anyway, as part of ESPN's plan to have Mike Greenberg (the gay one) and Mike Golic (the fat one) broadcasting every event that Berman and Tirico haven't already snatched up, they're gonna be the backup team on "Monday Night Football" this year. That means they're going to be announcing that 49ers-Buzzsaw game that starts at 10:15 ET opening Monday night. They're gonna team up with Mike Ditka. More »

Sometimes we wonder if we are too hard on ESPN. Sure, collectively, they seem to have sucked the very life out of sports, packaging schtick and corporate pablum into a stew of impossible-to-digest soulless muck. (And, unlike the rest of us, they mix metaphors!) But they're still just individuals, out there doing a job, trying to make a living, navigating this crazy planet like the rest of us. We should cut them some slack. Right? Right? More »

You might have been cynical about the "Mike and Mike Marriage Madness" last Friday — which was "tastefully Gator," in the words of the groom — but that's because you're cold-hearted and don't believe in the "special company [ESPN] has created and nurtured every day." Soulless bastards. More »

OK, so you know how ESPN radio hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic are constantly making jokes about how Greenberg is a "metrosexual" and Golic is, uh, hmm, a loutish oaf? (If you need any more substantiation of this Extremely Marketable Odd Couple Quality, check out their newest lame ass cartoon, this one involving Golic and his children. You see, he's fat and loud, and they're all "he's fat and loud!" and Greenberg's all like "I know! He's so fat and loud!" It goes on like that, every day, until about 10 a.m.) More »

"Episode Two" of "Off-Mikes" — the visual interpretation of Mike Greenberg's and Mike Golic's morning show — has premiered on ESPN.com. As usual, it's just a bunch of ADD animation with a couple of buffoon figures doing slapstick. A legitimate question: Who in the world likes this crap? We don't usually like to be so blatant, but even if you like Mike and Mike — and we're fine with them, we guess — this adds nothing to the show and is more likely to make you hate everyone involved. (We imagine their wives, shaking their heads: "Men." More »

We have always been curious about the life that ESPN anchor/radio host/all around nerd Mike Greenberg lives his life. His radio show starts at 6 a.m., where he and professional oaf Mike Golic play out tired Odd Couple gags for four hours. We imagine he's then in meetings all day, grooming, nodding, playing corporate lapdog, before doing the 6 p.m. ET Sportcenter. Sometimes he even does the late SportsCenter; that always kind of freaks us out, like he's had himself cloned or something. Anyway, the ongoing joke between Greenberg and Golic is that Golic is a big dumb jock and that Greenberg is (wait for it) ... a metrosexual. (Sigh. We're sorry. We didn't want to type it either.) Anyway, Mike and Mike are getting the Bill Simmons treatment this morning. No, we don't mean blatant ego-stroking and insecurity soothing from .com brass; we mean they have a cartoon. It's, of course, about Greenberg being a metrosexual. You've been warned. More »
