MIKE AND MIKE IN THE MORNING

What makes them different makes them great.

Start your mornings with sports radio’s odd couple, Mike and Mike, mornings from 6-10 on ESPN 100.9-FM.

Tough, masculine and hard-headed, Mike Golic captained the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and spent nine years as an NFL defensive lineman.  Level-headed and occasionally metrosexual, co-host Mike Greenberg (or “Greenie”) never played in the NFL but has been an ESPN anchor since 1996.

It’s true, opposites do attract.  Greenie and Golic combine weekday mornings to bring a high-energy mix of sports news, analysis, fun, and interviews with big-name athletes, coaches and analysts.  You can watch the show weekday mornings on ESPN2 or listen to Mike and Mike on ESPN 100.9-FM to make your drive to work more enjoyable.

In addition, catch updates on the Great Lakes Loons hourly with Brad Golder, plus national SportsCenter updates three times an hour with Bob Picozzi.

Mid-Michigan sports fans, get your morning started off right with the latest sports news, scores, analysis, big-name interviews and listener call-ins with Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN 100.9-FM.
