For those that were fortunate enough to have something else to do this morning -- like a root canal or rectal exam or something -- Paul Pierce co-hosted, if that's what you want to call it, with Mike Greenberg on the abaomination known as "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on ESPN Radio. And try as he might, Pierce kept effing up the "on ESPN Radio" line that always follows Greenberg saying "Mike and Mike in the Morning" as they head to commercial. Eventually Greenberg just did it himself while Pierce was laughing at something or losing his earpiece or whatever.But my favorite (not really) part of the morning was when Pierce was asked what celebrities or athletes he'd like to meet and in telling his story about his dream meetings, he began it with this:
"I have an imagination...."
Yes, Paul, I bet you do. But I think you mean a dream or something like that.
Leave me alone, I'm tired.

See, the problem is that you listen to the Mike and Mike BS in the Morning show. If you didn't listen to them, then you wouldn't be bothered by them. This is why I don't have anything to do with ESPN until the games are actually on. And the Monday Night Football crew is killing me. Literally, they are reaching through the TV and poking me with sharpened sticks. More and more I am just going to the internet for my sports.
I used to like Kornheiser, but he's kind of too whiny and annoying and not nearly as funny as he thinks he is. He's good on PTI but not much else.... and on MNF he sounds downright bored and goes what seems like a whole quarter without saying anything.
As for listening, I don't have many options... I like sports talk in the AM, so I listen to M&M in order to hear their good guests (Gammons, Kurkjian, Schlereth, etc.) and I change them when their schtick makes me want to drive into an abutment.
I also switch over to Sporting News Radio on XM or XM Baseball This Morning or XM Hockey This Morning....
