I'm a bit sad by this as I watch the ESPN 2 simulcast in the morning when I'm getting ready for work.

Eh, can't say I'm shedding any tears although I will admit that I typically have it on tv in the background in the morning (for lack of better morning show choices).   Crazy to think they started the show back when I was still in high school.

To quote Deitsch, that show is about as "vanilla" as they come.  Most of those national radio shows are.  Also, M&M is probably one of the biggest culprits in the ESPN echo chamber (aka creating contrived controversies).  Greeny is pretty annoying and neurotic a lot of the times which can drive me nuts.   They also rarely challenge folks and a lot of their interviews consist of softball questions to the guest.

It'll be interesting to see how this Greenberg standalone show does.
