I've listened to parts of it the past two days. It's good. Not great, not terrible, but good...which is fine. Mike Golic, Jr. is part of the show for the first hour or two, which I suppose is to get people in his age group listening? He seems to love the sound of his own voice and thinks "Dilly Dilly" is funny, so I am less than thrilled with his involvement.

It's a palatable alternative to Mully and Hanley and nice to get a little sports in the morning without a "How's that workin' out for ya'?" from Hanley or being subjected to Mike Mulligan's torturous attempt at being a radio host.

It will be so awful outside of football season.

I second that! Dilly Dilly! This show will be god awful within a couple days.

The Golics are going to try and "prove" themselves to Greenberg who abandoned them,
and are going to overcompensate. I shudder to think what listening to this will be
like. I suggest listening to D Mac Unsupervised! Maybe next Thursday he'll give
and opinion on Golic x 2? I'll send him a note on Facebook to check it out!

One thing they need to do is to stop apologizing for being there. During the first two shows they kept saying "We know this is different, but give it/us a chance."

Greenberg is terrible. I'm listening because it's different.

I'm trying to adjust to every commercial not starting with "Hey Golic? Yes, Greenie."

The only reason Golic JR. is there is to placate Golic the elder. It’s fine for what it is but only during the duldroms of Chicago sports. At least there will be less Jets talk.

Thank God those are over!

Katie Nolan was on with them today from 8:00 to 8:30. This was the first time I have heard her -- not an obnoxious windbag and not an SJW, so that was good.

But you have her in your avatar? What?

Is she anything other than a wannabe snarky broadcaster playing off of her looks?

Are they still back and better than ever?

They should have kept Greenberg but added Golic Jr. and MURPH! Mike, Mike, Mike and Mike! Mike and the Mechanics

Wingo when discussing the possible Gruden coaching/part ownership scenario....
"I think George Halas had similar situation with the Bears, but we're going to get confirmation on that"
....this is the kind of expert analysis you can't get just anywhere.

Doesn't Golic Jr have to prove to people also that he didn't get the job because of his dad.

Kind of hard to prove the opposite of reality though isn’t it?

There is no way to prove against this. Lots of people at ESPN deserving. Lots of football players in this country deserving. Golic Jr never made the NFL for the love of god. And this kid gets to be on a national radio show without paying dues as a broadcaster or being a great football player? Even Golic Jr knows he got the job cuz of daddy. It goes without saying.

I think Golic, Jr. is kind of a natural. Even though he doesn't have much experience he has sounded articulate and polished pretty much right from the start. I have also heard him do color for football games and he did a good job with that, too. However, he LOVES to hear himself talk which isn't all that much of a problem when he's doing a solo show but is a problem when he's working with one or more co-hosts or a play-by-play guy.

I'm a little disappointed with Wingo. He's not an obnoxious douche which is good and immediately sets him apart, but he doesn't sound as polished as I expected someone who has been on ESPN for 20+ years to sound. I don't have ESPN so I haven't seen SportsCenter or whatever other shows he has been on for ages.

Actually, Wingo is an obnoxious douche. He yells and retardedly interjects way too often. I thought he was solid years ago on the ESPN NFL show. I know you're not the fan of Greenberg that I am, but Greenberg was capable of nuanced conversation. Trey seems like some fraternity pledge on the show.

Golic Jr. is articulate, intelligent, informed... and a complete fucking snoozefest.

I've been listening a little more closely to Wingo and he does interrupt people to make stupid comments way too often. He's been on vacation and last week Jason Fitz subbed for a few days. He's a spazz.

Their intro music, which I initially didn't mind, has gotten to be very grating.

You were absolutely right about Wingo, Furious. Much like Mulligan, Greenberg, Holmes, and Goff he frequently ruins what would otherwise be good segments/shows.

Im surprised to hear this about Wingo.

I still havent listened.

Like someone said, he's been good on the NFL shows, and so I thought Wingo would be way better than Greenberg

Golic has improved over time but he used to be a fish out of water. I still say fuck fatass Golic.

Fuck. That. Music.

Mike Jr. is a star. He's easily better than his dad.
