I'm not sure why ESPN keeps parading Mike & Mike out once a year to do play-by-play. Any college broadcast team in the nation would have done a better job than those clowns.
Some of Greenburg's commentary was laughable. On one punt return, instead of identifying the player or where the ball was received, he simply said "Here he comes." He then ignored the gained yardage and ended the play with a simple "He's out at the 40."
Meanwhile, Golic was talking over Greenburg with priceless gems like "Oh Wow!", "What A Catch", and "Man, what a play".
The entire broadcast had the air of a very amateur feel.
I have to admit, I'm not really a fan of Mike & Mike in the morning either. I think when Erik Kaselius sits in, he does a much better job on the show.
I understand they are trying to appeal to the masses with their stupid husband / wife relationship like banter and arguing over the most meaningless points; and the overall point is to be entertaining. For me, it gets old quick, and I can certainly do without Greenburg playing the role of metrosexual pansy and Golic playing dumb brute.
Their shtick certainly doesn't translate over into a broadcast booth though. ESPN makes a mistake every year when they put those clowns on a game.
