I like Mike and Mike to a point. They do a good job of having intelligent discussions on issues. But a few things I hate:

* Greenberg tells nearly every guest that he or she "is the best."
* To Greenberg, nearly everything is great.
* Please, for the love of god, does everything need a song? They have a stupid song for every MVP candidate.
* Why are they always "back and better than ever?"

Every talk-show host has to have a bit of an ego, but Colin Cowherd has enough for about a dozen talk-show hosts. No other host that I've heard spends so much time telling you why he's not talking about something. He could spend that time, I don't know, talking about the subject? Way too much football.

Dan Patrick's OK, but the 2 p.m. hour with Olbermann usually is terrific radio.

If Rome would speak standard English, his show would be much easier to take. He seems to make too much of an effort to use street lingo and then, on top of that, create his own. He repeats stuff incessantly much as if he has the mind of a kindergartener His interviews are solid, though.

Jason Smith is OK at times, but isn't as good as Todd Wright was. Any talk-show host who talks about taking his clothes off because he thinks it will will help his favorite team win has a couple of screws loose.

I'm so sick of Greenberg. I just can't take his smugness any longer.

Yeah, the whole Jason Smith 'get naked' thing sucked. No doubt.

Listening to Rome makes me want to put icepicks through my ear drums. My ear drums.
Listening to Cowturd makes me want to put it through my temples.

Cowherd also definitely has a face for radio.

The other day Greenberg said this is one of the GREAT weeks of the year in sports, with the early rounds of NBA/NHL playoffs, baseball storylines and the NFL Draft. That sounded like a stretch to me.

My favorite is that guy who went ape shit on the air about Michigan State's meltdown against Notre Dame.

That might be the funniest 15 minutes in radio history.

"Mike you are going to lose your voice."

"Shut up, I was there, I did my part......"

My opinion of sports-talk radio remains unchanged.

Thank you.

The worst, I think, are Colin Cowherd, Jay Marriotti, Dan Lebatard, Mike and Mike, Dan Patrick and the Fabulous Sports Babe -- they all take themselves way too seriously.

I can handle Rome in small doses, JT the Brick is at least somewhat entertaining when I am driving home from work at night and Ben Maller isn't bad, either.

Ohters -- Mike and the Mad Dog have a good thing going, Howard Eskin is a blowhard, Joe Beningo is living every fan's dream so you have to respect him for that, Mike Trivisano in Cleveland is a little too loud and Angelo Cataldi is a just a moron.

Is the Fabulous Sports Babe still doing a show? I thought she was horrible, but listened to her show because she usually had terrific guests.

I would rather watch Ann Coulter and Michael Moore grudgefuck for 48 consecutive hours than listen to sports-talk radio.
