I don't get how the shtick draws people in in the same way I don't get how all the morning sports TV shows draw people in.
Dan LeBatard Show w/Stugotz
- Thread starter cycopath25
- Start date
It's in my top 3. This, High Noon, and First Take are my go to downloads. There's definitely a lot of love it or hate it shows on right now. I can't stand the Will Cain show or either of the morning shows.
I hate to admit it, but I don't get what there is to "get" about Lebatard/Stugotz. Can't stand the show...its like fingernails on a chalk board for me when i hear their voices. Believe me, i've tried. It was our only choice when the competing sports radio station in my town dropped Dan Patrick. That was about the same time that Lebatard replaced the Cowherd show.
I remember sitting at the bar with my buddies and we were all in agreement that Lebatard was terrible, and that ESPN certainly would be replacing them soon. We were wrong!
I liken it to the Big Bang Theory. People love the show, yet it does nothing for me....may as well be staring at a blank screen. To each their own I guess.

Like others have said, and in other threads, some get it some dont.
I find his style halarious and understand it for what it is, I'm not looking for hard knock sports.
At the same time I hate Seinfeld and think that is terrible comedy.

Yeah believe he has been doing a Noon to 2 show so he appears to be just switching times.
I think it’s still on. It’s horrible.
I didn’t realize that. So he didn’t want to do radio, started the Get Up thing or whatever it’s called, then went back to radio.
Yeah he's doing both TV & Radio now. Probably should since he is supposedly making 6+ million dollars a year.
Yeah, I realize that Mike & Mike was generic white bread readymade for ESPN radio, but at least it was listenable - I think Golic had a lot to do with that. Ever since he killed Mike & Mike I've gone out of my way not to listen to anything Greenberg because dried paint is more entertaining.
Greenberg is an excellent journalist. But sports radio isn't made for journalists. There's too much time to fill to just dryly talk about sports. The best shows are loosly based on sports talk and have fun on the air. Golic was the fun part of the show. Greenberg felt like he was being pulled into the fun parts reluctantly.
Mike and Mike had GREAT guests. Some of their interviews with Coach K were really good.
I haven’t listened to ESPN radio for years now. I stopped mainly because whatever the “hot take” was on M&M that morning fueled the discussion for all their other shows for the rest of the day, ad nauseum. And probably 13-15 days/year the hot take would be Michael vs Lebron, or some other regurgitated topic.
