I can definitely confirm that they would never talk during breaks of the show. Before and after they would though, discussing where they would go with topics, but never about stuff outside of the show at hand.
Man, really? I really wanted to believe Greeny was a cool down to earth dude.

Did this start before Greeny wanted to move on or after that became known?

(if you can say)

Before, I met them back in 2012 and worked on the show (although very rarely) starting in 2013.

Plus, there was always gossip about how he was off camera anyway from friends and coworkers I knew

its funny, I dislike Greeney and Like Golic for that same reason. Greeney is just too much weakling/beta for me man. He should like be on the view talking about drapes or skin care or something.

Re: ESPN Cleaning House

It's interesting how Mike & Mike didn't have a good relationship. It seems sometimes the best radio comes from having two people who can't stand each other. Wasn't this the same kind of situation that happened with Mike Francesca and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo?

Yes.

Here's the first paragraph from the story linked above:

Quote:
Off-camera tension between media personalities who work together is hardly a new phenomenon. In one of the more famous examples, Mike Francesa and Chris Russo, who partnered on an immensely popular and polarizing show (Mike And The Mag Dog) on WFAN-AM Radio in New York from 1989 to 2008, went through multiple three-month stretches during which neither spoke to the other off the air. Away from sports, television morning shows have a long history of on-air love and off-camera animus, from Ann Curry and Matt Lauer on Today to Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa on ABC’s Live, where friction first led to the end of their pairing and then to a string of tabloid covers.

It's interesting that it will only be from 6-7 am. I guess Greenie didn't want it competing with his show.
