Mike and Mike are a bunch of company blowhards. Fat Mike never has an opinion for himself, just confirms whatever the hell Nerd Mike is saying. He doesn't have any additional knowledge that your casual sports fan would know. Ask him NBA, NHL, or MLB and he's clueless.
Plus, Nerd Mike has the personality that if he had the opportunity to backstab you to benefit him, he'd do it. Just a big douchebag in general.

I couldn't stand him at one point, but after you learn everything about the show you realize this guy is light years ahead of everyone else when it comes to sports-talk.
His show is kind of like the sitcom Seinfeld used to be.
You're either witty enough to catch everything & get it, or you're not...
I Like.... "papa Joe Chevalier" K.l.a.v. 1230 Am Las Vegas, Nevada
He was the best I ever heard! He was on one-on-one sports in New York about 10 years ago and I really miss his
show, glad he's still around I'll try to find K.l.a.v. 1230 Am Las Vegas on the net, thanx for the tip.
In NY Mike is without Maddog for a few years he's mediocre, Coward maybe slightly more interesting
I like the junkies....
