I don't like the characterization of Golic as "isn't very intellectual" -- you can't talk for 4 hours a day on a live national broadcast if you're supposed to be a dummy.
Removed content
editI've removed the following content from the article: However, it must be noted that Golic played college football during his years at Notre Dame, a marquee football school; college football athletes tend to have scandal-ridden times at big-time schools, where they are rubber-stamped through "business" programs by professors who rarely test or grade them; or are given incredibly easy exams; or have other persons take exams/write papers for them. Golic's degree's legitimacy, like the degrees of all college athletes whose programs draw money into a school, is therefore in question, despite coming from a respected institution. That is nothing more than speculation, and cites no references therefore it is inappropriate for an encyclopedic article. KOS | talk 23:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
You will need to remove anything about Golic getting TASERed. The suits at ESPN won't allow it to happen, so they need to find something else for the Bracket Wager. Some suggestions included Golic going on a Vegan diet for a week, having Brady Quinn on the show while Golic sings "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias to him, or dressing him up as the Notre Dame Leprechaun and being spanked by Buster Olney, who will be dressing up like the USC Trojan mascot.
Mentioned
editIn a recent show (I believe 1/3), Greenberg mentioned wikipedia while talking about personal e-mail signatures. "It's great! I can put anything I want on there... it's like Wikipedia." Just mentioning.
POV
editI added a weasel words tag to the design section because the first and second paragraph do not appear to be neutrai whatsoever, and would thus be in violation of the WP:POV policy. AEMoreira042281 12:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
New updates
editThe press release was a little vague but it sounds like there's a possibility that the radio updates will not be a part of the show when it moves into the HD studio on May 7. During both M&M and First Take (the new name for "Cold Pizza"), there will be LIVE SportsCenter TV updates from new anchor Sage Steele. The radio show takes three eight-minute breaks each hour. Steele's updates will take the place of the pre-recorded ESPNews segments that showed highlights from the night before. Bob Picozzi's radio updates will remain in the TV show.
- Well, having seen the new version of the show for two days, the radio updates are indeed gone from the TV show -- as well as the ESPNews-style ticker. The eight-minute break now has commercials at the beginning and end, and an extensive Steele SportsCenter in the middle -- a good 3-4 minutes long. I guess the robotic cam in Picozzi's studio isn't in HD. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.40.161.138 (talk) 22:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC).
National Spelling Bee
editYou read that right. Check out the Wednesday morning (May 16) edition of the morning show. They'll tell you what was announced today. M&M will be "special commentators" for the May 31 coverage of the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee. From 10am to 1pm, they'll join Chris McKendry and Stuart Scott for ESPN's coverage of the early rounds. That night (8-10 pm) the coverage moves to ABC with Robin Roberts and Scott. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.40.161.138 (talk) 23:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
Reversion
editI put a lot of work into making this article legible, concise, and worthy of Wikipedia, only to see an anonymous editor change it right back to the rambling fansite-worthy mess it was when I got here. I would like to know why that editor felt the need to make such a poor decision. I've changed it back to my version. Lambertman 20:35, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Mikeandmikenewset.jpg
editImage:Mikeandmikenewset.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Images
editThere is a free use public domain image floating around in NASA website, I can't seem to find a link to a hi-res image so I will just post what I have found here and someone can use it, or continue the search.
This image, sourced from this press release, which credits NASA (thus Public domain). There are a number of slightly higher resolution images on this NASA blog post, which is about the NASA podcast team on Mike and Mike, the same topic covered in the press release. The credit on the second set of images is unclear but I am almost certain they're PD-NASA. An email or blog comment might clear it up. Hope this helps, I see the robot doesn't like the current image. --Aujourd'hui, maman est morte (talk) 03:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Music
editConsensus among established editors is that a list of the bumper music use don the show is not needed, because it adds nothing about the content of the show. Any deletions of this section are not vandalism. Lambertman (talk) 00:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, fellow Mike and Mike fan. I understand that you think the bumper songs are part of the show, but it doesn't make sense to have a list of all the songs they play on the show. On The Late Show with David Letterman, there's at least five songs per night, and when the show returns from the breaks, Letterman is often humming along. A list of the songs, however, would be thousands of songs long. An article about a famous disc jockey wouldn't include the complete playlist either, and the music IS THE WHOLE SHOW for a music-station DJ. Mitchell k dwyer (talk) 23:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Best of - Moving to ESPN2, and expanding to one hour?
editThat's what my TiVo listing is saying. The article already notes the move to ESPN2 in favor of the new live SportsCenter, but the lineup I'm looking at says "Best Of" will now be an hour beginning July 29. is there any confirmation that this is accurate? Mshake3 (talk)
- The listings seem like confirmation enough, but I don't know that the length is that important of a fact for the article. I'm sure it'll occasionally be shortened or pre-empted for other things. Lambertman (talk) 15:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- "Best of" is already an hour and is on ESPN2 from 5:00–6:00 a.m. ET. But the actual title is not "Best of...". It is actually called "Mike and Mike: ICYMI" → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 03:07, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
