Holy shit how does this show even have listeners. Just watched on ESPN2 like 15 minutes of it waiting for Colin Cowherd to come on and this shit is terrible. I actually think they used to be pretty good 10 years ago but they've totally sold out and became a boring mainstream show that's all filler. Does anyone on here like this show at all? IMO they should put SVP and Russillo in their spot, by far the best

I was a daily listener for most of last year. I ditched them this year during the NFL season. I couldn't take it anymore.

Dan Patrick show is the only good show to listen to and watch. ESPN has gone to $hit. Mike and Mike whine and bicker too much.

IMO the show jumped the shark a couple years ago--I got tired of listening about their public appearances, book signings, celeb sightings, blah, blah, blah...I listen to Bill King on CSN (Sirius XM 91) in the morning now.

They just sound dumb. I flipped it on and they were interviewing Marcellus Wiley about Game 6 last night in LA, I think my grandmother could have provided better insight had she watched the game

If I'm in my car, I listen to music. If I'm at work, I listen to music. If I'm at home, I listen to music.

In other words, no. Never have, never will. Talk radio is pure dumbass shit whether you're talking sports, politics or whatever other fucking reason talk radio shows pop up.

Greenberg is horrible. He acts like a 10 year old girl at a Justin Beiber concert. Mike & Mike along with Cleveland sportstalk radio drove me to Sirius XM. Sirius has a much better national perspective plus they have death metal stations. :)

Jets, ND, and Northwestern.....every. fucking. day.

I also can't stand that high pitched whine Golic does when he objects to something Greenberg says.

I hate when golic screams "LISTEN" before arguing with someone. Like what he's about to say is 100% gospel because he used to play football.

Annoys the shit out of me.

They've gotten better about this IMO, but they still do it and after 15 years I think we get it.

It's still better than Cowherd. I don't mind his attitude and generally being an asshole, it's just that one person shows are boring as fuck. Banter is what keeps it from getting dull after 20 minutes

listened years ago to Herd and Mike and Mike but grew out of them. Too predictable.

I used to listen to them at work but just couldn't take it anymore. Since getting my promotion I really haven't listened to anything. I'm sure I'll start again once football season begins.

Depends, literally, on what is happening in the sporting world. They get off topic too much for me. I do like them 2nd best though. Doesn't help that 1-4 is prime time for not being near a radio or able to use my phone lol.

I just like the Herd cause he is honest and knows his shit regarding football (when I listen the most). Lots of people hate his bias for the big market and catering to his ratings but I have no issues, probably, because I am in the industry and side with him but also because he admits it.

Colin cowherd is what sleeper would most likely be if he hosted a sports show. Why did he stop hosting that one sportsnation show?

I still think Jim Rome has the best radio show followed by svp and russillo. SVP/Russillo is more of a bro gossip talk show.

Cowherd is a smug dick. Only time I listen to anything is when I'm trying to fall asleep I download a couple sports talk podcasts.

Jim Rome is the absolute worst. Cowherd and M&M are a close second.

Mike and Mike are bad, but you can't complain about them selling out and be a listener to Cowherd. He is just as bad or worse.

Cowherd admits it though, so you have to respect that. He knows it's a ratings game, he plays to
it, admits it, and wins consistently.
