Mike Greenberg (born August 6, 1967 in New York City, New York) is a television anchor and radio host for ESPN. At ESPN, he hosts the weekday evening SportsCenter and ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning show with Mike Golic. These are some of the things he has said:
| | "We’ve had this discussion in the past. I will ask you questions now, not unlike if I were a lawyer and you were on the witness stand. So you don’t want to be giving me a bunch of extraneous information. Just answer the questions." |
| | “You’ve done more drafting so far than Dale Earnhardt Jr. this year.” |
| | “Someone explain to me how throwing out a ceremonial first pitch is community service.” |
| | “They’re not putting their best field on the team.” |
| | “Jason Kidd took the Nets to the Finals. The Nets! The Nets make the Clippers look like the Boston Celtics of the 60’s.” |
| | “If indeed I am the Julie McCoy of Mike and Mike in the Morning, I can live with that. And that’s dating myself with a ‘Love Boat’ reference.” |
| | “Have you seen Jason Giambi so far this year? He could be the comeback player of the year.” (The problem: Giambi was the MLB Comeback Player of the Year the prior year.) |
| | “He looks like he’s put away quite a few Big Macs in his day. Quarter Pounders. Egg McMuffins. Large fries. He may be eating off the dollar menu, but he’s spending $100 doing it.” |
| | “I’d would rather admit that I hurt myself putting on my shoes than host an event in which the word ‘cornhole’ is in the title.” |
| | “A lot of times, the most wonderful relationships are with partners who are imaginary. Just ask me.” |
| | “If you’ve ever been used to beat a car by a naked man, take it from one who knows: you’re better off not living through that experience.” |
| | “I have oft been compared to Marilyn Monroe and Princess Di, but that’s another conversation.” |
| | “I’m wrong a lot more than I’m right. I make no bones about that. You have to understand your limitations in life. Mine: a complete lack of intelligence and insight.” |
| | “I figure I dated myself enough in high school; I didn’t need to do it again.” |
| | “If you are a real fan, the experience of watching your team play is not pleasurable. It’s sort of like the famous line, ‘I don’t enjoy writing, I enjoy having written.’ I enjoy having watched my team win. I revel in having watched my team win, but only after it’s over. While it’s actually happening, it’s an excruciating process that we put ourselves through.” |
| | “You are completely mistaken if you think people enjoy watching other people choke. Everyone found it excruciating to watch Phil Mickelson at the U.S. Open.” |
| | “Let’s put it this way: on the cool-o-meter, Derek Jeter is the Fonz, and you are Richie Cunningham. I’m Joanie; I’m ‘Shortcake’.” |
| | “I would like to see Prince nude, yes.” |
| | “If I were never allowed to toss it to you at a time when you were eating, this show would never have happened over the seven years that we’ve been doing it, and Lord knows we’ll never be able to accomplish anything in the booth.” |
| | “Your nipples are going to be standing out like eyeballs.” |
| | “I’m going to soul-kiss the space heater during the break here.” |
| | “I’m like a small dog.” |
| | “In certain states, it would be illegal to be married twenty years and have me as your partner for seven and a half.” |
| | “No person could ever be as bad as I think I always am. My glass is neither half full nor half empty: it’s a dribble glass, and it’s cracked.” |
