I don't know if it counts as a firing since both will remain on the Network with different shows, but Mike Golic officially announced that he will be doing Mike and Mike permanently with Trey Wingo and Mike Golic Jr. starting next year. Not sure what Other Mike will be doin. To be honest, I kinda like the Mike & Mikes where Greeny is absent already, so this may be an improvement. Though, I would have preferred they do something more with Stugotz & Golic Jr..

I can't blame Jake for being mad. It was said before when the rumors came out that Golic was pissed because Greeny didn't even tell him himself, he had to find out through the rumor mill. I assume the Golic family feels betrayed because while Golic did get a new multi year contract he's essentially being pushed to the side. While Greeny is being nostalgic about the whole thing, Golic is just moving on and I am sure he is happy to get to work with his son in this capacity. Their is rumor that some people at ESPN are mad as well about how the executives handled this decision.

I would of liked Golic Jr. to essentially replace Greeny instead of Trey but Mike Jr. is supposed to be in a "guest role" so we shall see how this works.

Don't Stugotz and Mike Jr. have their own weekend show?
Not sure if Stugotz will be the new co-host on HQ. I think Amin Elhassan would've been a great pick for HQ but I think he's a regular cohost on SportsNation now and that's out in LA. Guess there's always Mina Kimes, Sarah Spain, or Mike Ryan Ruiz, too.

Yeah, Golic did not sound happy, and I can't blame him. Greeny basically gave him the Heisman stiff-arm

Guess there's always Mina Kimes, Sarah Spain, or Mike Ryan Ruiz, too. I think Golic Jr has a podcast with someone else. I can't remember his name at the moment And I only say Stugotz will be the new host on HQ because for one he's based in Miami and two he already works with Dan on his radio show so it will be an easy transition. It depends on who they want to move from their current state to a new one to cover. If anything Mina could work since they seem to be using a lot of their younger talent for positions on TV now

Greeny basically gave him the Heisman stiff-arm Right, for months Golic has said Mike & Mike will not die without a Mike and while Greeny has had his side projects on ABC and shit like that, this is different. You basically cut your partner of 20 years out and didn't even tell him that it could be in motion. SVP showed more love to Rusillo and handed him the reigns on his way out to do his own thing. Golic is doing the smart thing and just going about it as business and at the end of the day he gets to work with his son more who is a funny dude

the reasons for the down fall 1) ESPN's big market bias 2) drastically over paying for the rights to games 3) cord cutting 4) acting like racing and hockey don't matter - they've never been my thing but they are sports 5) refusing to alter their marketing strategy in is digital age anyone else have anything to add to this? Their decision to become hot take central.

Supposedly the atmosphere around Mike and Mike is "poisonous" and people doubt they can make it to December. They have stopped talking to each other off set reportedly.

This is making Mike Francesa and Chris Russo's split look downright pleasant. The things we know are still the same. Greeny didn't tell Golic and he feels betrayed. The underlying reason is Greeny wants to branch off from radio and Golic is fine with that but he would of liked Greenberg to be straight up with him. The funny thing is Greenberg has had a few gigs outside of radio and none of them has worked. He had some tv show on abc or fox, him and Golic used to do some football show in the afternoon and I believe they used to call the second doubleheader of the new football season. I hear some people are giving the justification of well Greenberg is to nice to tell Golic to his face he doesn't want to do this anymore and what he wants to do professionally has nothing to do with Golic.

Greeny is too passive aggressive to bring this up, so it wouldn't shock me if the show ended earlier than expected (because Greenberg would want to move on rather than deal with the problem) or they continue to be like this because Greenberg won't bring it up. It's mad awkward to do a show with someone who doesn't want to deal with you.

I agree Greeny is far too passive aggressive to bring it up but it also contrast with the perceived notion of how aggressive he was to branch off and do his own thing. If anything it will be a repeat of Kelly/Straham except Golic won't be as dramatic as she was.

Chip Kelly signs a deal to be NFL analyst
I think he's getting paid from Eagles and 49ers so more money for his pocket

Golic says him and Greeny have talked and Greeny is not the one he is mad at. He is mad the co-employees who are putting this stuff out there about a poisonous relationship. He goes on to say there is no point in being nostalgic when they got six months left to do the show. They don't know when the end date is yet but when they do then they will start going down memory lane. nypost.com/2017/05/29/golic-greenbergs-not-mike-mike-worker-im-mad-at/Refreshing to see him handle this like a pro because he could of really made shit messy if he wanted to.
