ESPN’s Mike Greenberg rises to the occasion with a thoughtful, articulate and sometimes animated journey from his roots in New York as a rabid Jets fan to his arrival in the Chicago market and then stardom at ESPN. “Greenie” discusses his rise to fame by revealing who the first person he ever worked with as a pro. Hint: the host of this podcast has something to do with it!

Greenie then takes on quite a professional romp including his coverage of Michael Jordan, baseball player, to how he managed to make the big jump to ESPN. There is also his 18 year run with Mike Golic on “Mike and Mike”, his move back to television on “Get up” and a return to radio on a show so aptly titled, “Greenie.”

And there’s more. Greenie has eccentricities such as superstitions which go back to his father and his delightful description and definition of being a metro-sexual.
In summery, Mike Greenberg is can’t miss radio and TV and he’s a can’t miss on the latest version of “Tell me a story I don’t know” presented by The Paulina Market, one of Chicago’s finest meat markets since 1949.
