PODCAST: ON THE DL
Mike Greenberg of ESPN joins the show to talk about his career at the WWL, the many hats he wears, and yes, germs.
Being under the weather, there was no better guest to have on the show than a noted germophobe in Greenberg. He gives me some tips on how to get better fast.
We run though a typical day in the life of Greeny, including a discussion about how he’s able to get on the air at 6am and talk about events that end well after he’s in bed.
We talk about the vastness of ESPN Radio and if he feels he has to be all things to all people. I also ask if he feels he has to dumb it down to appeal to more people.
We talk about his relationship with Mike Golic and why it has worked for nearly a decade. We spin that to talk about the demise of Mike and the Mad Dog.
We do talk some Favre, but more about if he thought the story was over-covered. That spins into MNF and what it was like getting to call a game on Monday night two years in a row.
We end with some MetroSexual talk and Greeny’s assertion that he’s the Kelly Ripa of sports talk radio. And is there anything he hasn’t done in his career that he wants to do before he’s done?
