Maybe it was in the trivia thread but between Choi, Patterson, Ty Griffin, and Pie we had to lead the league in bust prospects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking Greenburg was a star and would make some new show a success was laughable. Never watched/listened to it personally. Stuck w/ Golic and Wingo, and didn't see much difference between it and Mike & Mike TBH, but ESPN messed that up by moving around time slots IIRC. Like the local morning show w/ Jeff & Big Joe and Outkick the Coverage at this point. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is going to be calling college football games for ESPN thru at least the end of his contract which is the end of this year, but he hopes to keep calling games for ESPN for a couple more years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's definitely not...and I can't understand why some other network hasn't come in to fill the void... There are a lot of us out here that want to see highlights and post game interviews rather than endless analysis and social commentary. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's probably where Golic is at his best. Pre- Mike and Mike, he did games with Bill Curry, and they were excellent. Complimented each other really well. As long as Golic stays off the Notre Dame rants, I would have no problem listening to him do games again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
