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.

mike and mike
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

fathead
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.

monday night football
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.

mike and mike in the morning
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.

scripps howard national spelling bee
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?
