Mike Greenberg

Mike Greenberg is the popular host of ESPN Radio’s “Mike and Mike in the Morning,” the highest-rated drive time sports talk show on the dial. To his three-million-plus listeners, Green is the guy who’s equally as comfortable dissecting zone defenses as he is discussing cashmere sweaters. He’s been to Super Bowls and World Series, All-Star Games and Final Fours. He’s interviewed Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, and Wayne Gretzky. He gets paid to enthuse about sports, which means he’s the envy of most men in America.

Greenberg goes to the mat in his first book, Why My Wife Thinks I’m an Idiot. It is the hilarious, sometimes touching, and endlessly entertaining debut of one of America’s fastest-rising sportscasters, a wry and revealing look at one man’s good-hearted but mistake-prone attempt to grow up before his children do. Marriage, fatherhood, manhood, fame, athletes, crazed aunts with gambling problems, the true significance of sports, the worst possible thing to say in a room full of pregnant women–no topic is beyond his reach.

Also an anchor for ESPNEWS, Greenberg is heard on ESPN Radio each weekday morning and serves as a contributing anchor on ESPN each weekday evening on SportsCenter.

Prior to joining ESPN Greenberg had worked as a sports anchor/reporter on regional cable news network in Chicago. While there, he covered all local sports teams for the 24-hour cable news network, anchored sportscasts and hosted SportsPage, a one-hour Sunday night program featuring live guests and viewer calls.
