Sports' Spitting Images - Mike Greenberg & Mike Lombardi

    

Mike Greenberg of ESPN Radio fame, and Mike Lombardi of the hit TV series Rescue Me (I know, two Rescue Me related SSI's within a few weeks of each other? What can I say, they know how to cast for my purposes...).

Greenberg, or "Greeny" as he's more commonly known, is one half of the semi-popular Mike and Mike in the Morning radio show, with the other personality, of course, being none other than former NFLer Mike Golic. Let me just say I hate this show. If ever two people were more typecast into specific roles, it's these two; Golic playing the big, dumb jock who always sides with the players, and Greenberg fulfilling the role of nerdy observer who counteracts each of the big brute's points regardless of personal beliefs. Sometimes it can be great radio, like when they have exclusive guests, but most of the time it just sucks.

Lombardi plays Mike Silletti, a dim-witted fire fighter who's often manipulated by co-workers and strangers alike. Like most others on the show, it's an awesome character and Lombardi plays it perfectly. Have I mentioned you should check out this show yet?
