Now I know a lot of people on here do not like this show. But, as ESPN as it is, it is not the MNMS. Anyway, how much time off do these guys get? I cant remember the last time I heard both of them on the air together and it seems like weeks since I heard either of them. This is not rare. Anyone know what the deal is?

the past couple months have been a good time of year in general to take off considering the sports landscape of summer, plus they get an extra national show to see what any of the backups can do, and get a better idea of the next douche that is gonna be on from 12-3, err 12-2 hopefully

It's probably just summer vacation time.

Someone has to fill in for Patrick by missing their show.

I think that they get a pretty hefty vacation package. They were on the air one day last week (together) I think. It is just riveting radio regardless of who is in the chairs, really.

I would love to work for ESPN to get a vacation package like that. They should just start calling the show the "ESPN Morning Show on ESPN Radio" and then do the same for the afternoon show (unfortunately, I believe we won't be getting a local show b/w 12 - 2 or 3 ).

Well, guess who wasn't on the air this morning?

They will probably be off the whole week....

Seriously. Are they in the middle of some kind of contract dispute?

agreed doug. i think it was like this last year around this time too.

besides, does anyone really want to hear greenberg's thoughts on the michael vick story?

AWFUL, AWFUL!

If you're going to take a break, now's a great time....Football starts end of August/early September, baseball races will be coming down to the last month....There's still happenings in sports, but compared to September, this is the calm before the storm.

Why is it every time a brother is on the radio, the white dude has to try and be "hip" for the black dude? We've been hearing a lot of that lately with Michael Smith on lately.

Baseball been very good to me.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. I had a hard time listening to these guys yesterday and today.

Well at least the white guy admitted this morning he had a drug problem- that was different.

Yeah, that was funny because neither Gotlieb or Michael Smith knew where to go with that one...
