Just a quick follow-up to some of my predictions in reaction to Mike Greenberg (of Mike & Mike in the Morning, a show so important it is simulcast on radio and ESPN2 every weekday morning).
Mike Greenberg predicted that the NFL Draft was going to be the #1 show on Thursday night. That was hilariously incorrect. It basically tied the vampire teen show on the CW.
Mike Greenberg also suggested that the Twins without Joe Nathan were doomed to finish in 3rd or 4th place in the AL Central. How's that prediction working out so far? Horribly, that's how--because as I predicted, the Twins have one of the most dangerous offenses in the league, and as I also predicted, have found a very solid closer in their in their bullpen in Jon Rauch. (OK, sure, I guessed it would be Pat Neshek, but the point stands)
What's my point? Mike Greenberg gets paid money--a good amount of money--to talk about sports. And he doesn't know shit, half the time. And that's not even mentioning the time he tried to bring the phrase "womanned down" (the opposite of "manned up") into the American vernacular. Seriously, he tried.
Let's be clear--I'm not saying I could do his job better than he does. The idea of waking up at 3 am so I can drive into Bristol, CT and stare at the flapping jowls of Mike Golic frightens me terribly. It would be a form of hell for me. I could not do the job that the Mikes do, day in, day out. But I can point out, quite fairly and reasonably, that they are idiots, and Mike Greenberg is a fucking waste of space who doesn't know what he is talking about, even as he weighs in on the topics of the day (that he knows nothing about) with supreme confidence.
