</section>1. ESPN officially announced a brand-new radio lineup that will begin Aug. 17. Here's what mornings and afternoons will look like:
6-10 a.m.: Keyshawn, Jay and Zubin with Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams, Zubin Mehenti
10 a.m.-noon: The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz.
Noon-2 p.m.: The Mike Greenberg Show
2-4 p.m.: The Max Kellerman Show
The Dan Le Batard Show got cut by an hour, and Greenberg and Kellerman will add radio gigs to their TV gigs, so that should tell you how much ESPN values them. And Wingo and Golic are done in the mornings.
Mike Golic started at ESPN in 1998. He spent 17 years cohosting ESPN's morning radio show with Greenberg before spending the past three years cohosting with Trey Wingo.
He didn't even get mentioned in the ESPN press release announcing the new changes. The post on ESPN's media site touts Greenberg's return to radio in the headline, but there is no mention of Golic's 20 years of service.
You would think after Golic's ugly breakup with Greenberg in 2017, when Greenberg left the popular radio show for his own TV show, ESPN would go out of its way to throw some props Golic's way, but maybe those will come another day.
It's just really hard not to notice that Golic suffered a blow when Greenberg transitioned to Get Up, and now Golic is out of a radio job as Greenberg comes back to radio.
Obviously, this is not Mike Greenberg's fault in any way, shape or form.
This is more about Golic being a good solider for ESPN and not getting enough credit for it. Hell, I was never a Mike and Mike or Golic and Wingo listener, but the success of Mike and Mike speaks for itself.

</aside>After being there on the radio every single morning for sports fans for the past 20 years, Golic deserves some recognition from his company.
For now, though, Golic's current and former colleagues have paid tribute to him on Twitter.
For example, Dan Patrick Show producer Paul Pabst let us know that Golic was extremely resourceful when it came to sneaking in a nap at work.

I never minded Mike and Mike that much. Used to watch in the mornings during breakfast and such. Wasnt bad but wasnt good

Always liked their interviews with ESPN analysts and such

Golic and Wingo sucks. I'll watch for a few minutes when Follow the money has a commercial. Just blah

Guess my Golic and Wingo hat will be become a collector's item. Will Mke Jr. have to get a real job?

Had read that Golic was in that 4-7 slot, but thought it was Mike senior. Junior has nothing to add to any conversation.

Only Rush and Hannity on my radio when I'm in car. Or music

Our cooped up boy in Florida seems to be watching a lot of TV lately

Be bold, take off the mask, take a deep breath of fresh air

Don't be a Manhole

Amazing that with literally thousands (certainly hundreds of great ones) audio options available that anyone still listens to terrestrial radio

I’ve had satellite radio for over 15 years but I’ll still listen to my local AM stations for sports talk

just depends on what I am in the mood for
