Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless

[Dr. Jack]

These two subbing for Mike and Mike. Has there ever been a worse duo? Maybe the two most annoying douchebags. Yuck

[HAMILROCK]

it was on my radio for 30 seconds before I realized what I was listening to this morning

[Burgh Brew Crew]

Happy I got to sleep in. Did they spend the whole morning talking about Lebron James?

[ParrotHead]

Skip Bayless is the worst

[buli]

Can't stand either one of them, but together they must be unbearable

[MightyMike]

actually listened for about 10 minutes and all they did was yell at each other

[jonnyblaze]

The funny part is that you think Mike and Mike are good

Both are awful.

Would rather listen to Gilbert Gottfried and Fran Drescher.

most of the different espn radio shows, talk about mostly the same topics, just different takes

I like van pelt & russilo

[truegrinder]

i like mike and mike personally. Skip is the biggest dbag out there. I dont care for Stephen A. Smith but i dont dislike him as much as Skip

[Cali Roots]

Funny I almost posted the exact same thread earlier today.

I enjoy Mike and Mike because I take them for what they are. I don't expect a lot of in-depth stuff, nor is my mind equipped to handle any hard thinking at that hour.

But putting Skip Bayless and Screamin' A Smith together should be banned by the Geneva Convention.

Wow, I'm amazed that I'm the only one who didn't mind yesterday's Cold Pizza redux during the Mike & Mike show. I remember those two doing the 1st and 10 segments from 2005 or so, and I think they have a great vocal chemistry. Of course neither is especially bright or insightful about sports, but they display a vocal rapport that reminds me of Abbott & Costello or even Martin & Lewis. Sports is just a foil for them to find new ways to express their disgust at the other's naïveté and ignorance, something that hearkens back to the comedy of a bygone era.

I form my own opinions about sports topics, so I don't ask for much from sports radio beyond a pleasant, up-beat patter that makes the time pass quicker, and some occasional sillyness to make me chuckle. These two meet that bill far better than Mike and Mike, and I for one was grateful for the reprieve from their banality.
