>> Do not waste your time or money on this one
Let me start by saying that I am a fan of the Mike and Mike show on ESPN Radio but I am not a fan of this book in any way Knowing the two Mike s I did not pick of this book expecting to get any deep points on life but I did expect to get at least some new material for my money I did not see any This looked as if someone at ESPN had just taken different bits from the show and put them in book form While I did find that the book made me recall several fun exchanges from the show not enough to make it worth my time to read I am disappointed that the boys put this book out just to make a few bucks off of their fans One final comment on the style of the book the lay out of the book made it diffcult to review at time this a book you review instead of read The print and color style at time almost made me sick If you do not have anything new to say then try to cover that up with new packaging
>> A must buy for sports fans
This book is for any fan of ESPN the Mike Mike in the Morning show and sports in general It is a read that makes the reader feel as though he is part of a radio show or barstool discussion about the most interesting trivial unusual and common topics in sports and life
I really enjoyed how the book reads as though you were listening to the radio show Greeny often takes the stance as he so frequently does on behalf of the fan while Golic meanwhile provides his well known athlete minded tough guy stance on many issues with his familiar comic relief apparent throughout the book
In addition to their opinions on sports topics and rules I liked that they give the reader an insider s view on the mischief and nonsense that has accompanied them in their travels across the country
One of the most unexpected and enjoyable parts of the book is the section that affords Golic and Greenberg s wives to answer a number of questions about their history with their husbands The wives are ruthless and truly have no mercy in their answers It is hysterical
This book is a must read for any fan of Mike and Mike
>> How Ironic
Mike and Mike s Rules for Sports and Life The title suggests you are getting advise and rules about how to live your life and play sports
But why should I buy this book I already know all I need to from watching their show on ESPN2
Mike and Mike openly say on their show they think Tiger Woods private life is none of our business and that all they want to see is Tiger get back to playing golf If it weren t for Tiger touting his family through T V commercials kids video games and 18th hole public displays of affection I might agree
But is this the type of Sports and Life rules that I want to waste my time reading I would however buy a book from someone who stands up to say it matters that sports figures and hero s are held to a higher standard and owe the public more
Don t give me rules when your values need an antibiotic
