Mike and Mike in the Morning is an American sports-talk  radio show hosted by Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg on ESPN Radio and simulcast on television, normally on ESPN2. If ESPN2 is broadcasting a live sporting event during the show's timeslot, the show's simulcast will then air on ESPNews. The show primarily focuses on the day's biggest sports topics and the humorous banter between the Mikes. On February 24, 2010, the duo celebrated 10 years of doing the show together.

On May 7, 2007, the show moved from its longtime radio studio home to the television studio used for Sunday NFL Countdown and Baseball Tonight, and began broadcasting in high-definition.

A daily "best-of" show airs daily on ESPN2. Additionally, a weekly radio recap aired Saturday mornings at 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and then moved to 5 a.m. ET before being discontinued in October 2009. The radio version of "best of" returned in February 2010 in the 5am timeslot.

The show centers on an Odd Couple relationship between its hosts, and how it relates to their views on sports. The show's motto for all commercials on radio and television is: "What makes them different makes them great."

Mike Greenberg is portrayed as a stereotypical nerd and with a man-crush on former New York Jets and current Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington (any mention of Pennington's name is usually punctuated by the "And Iiii.." (from the final chorus of Whitney Houston's version of Dolly Parton's song "I Will Always Love You".) In 2008, Golic forced Greeny to "break up" with Pennington due to his being replaced as starter by Brett Favre.

Meanwhile, former Notre Dame and NFL lineman Mike Golic is set up in the role of the tough and boisterous "man's man," a former pro athlete who likes nothing more than to eat and "tell it like it is." Although similarly to Greenberg's man-crush on Chad Pennington, recently Golic is portrayed to have a similar affection for Cleveland Browns Quarterback Brady Quinn (Quinn and Golic both are Notre Dame alumni and Ohio natives). Any mention of Quinn on the show is usually followed by a small sampling from Enrique Iglesias' song "Hero".

In 2001 The Herd  moved from an afternoon time slot on all-sports radio KFXX  to the morning drive time.

In 2003, Cowherd was selected to replace Tony Kornheiser for the late morning time slot (10 a.m. - 1 p.m. (ET) on ESPN Radio.

His show, The Herd with Colin Cowherd is a syndicated talk radio show broadcast on ESPN Radio affiliates throughout the United States and online at ESPNRadio.com. In 2008, the Herd added a simulcast on ESPN's ESPNU. The show features commentary on sports news, perspective on other news stories, and interviews with popular analysts and sports figures. Demographics and regional preferences are frequent topics of his program.

The majority of his conversations primarily center around the National Football League (NFL) and college football with mentions of recent topics from Major League Baseball (MLB) and the National Basketball Association (NBA). He also has a featured segment, Spanning the Globe, during Sunday morning's SportsCenter special edition.

Cowherd, along with Michelle Beadle, co-hosts SportsNation; the show debuted on July 6, 2009, on ESPN2.

Scott Van Pelt was born in Brookeville, Maryland and grew up in the Washington, D.C. area. He graduated from Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, Maryland and enrolled at the University of Maryland  where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in radio/television and film.

Van Pelt began his career in sportscasting at WTTG-TV, a FOX affiliate in Washington, D.C. in 1990 and then moved on to the Golf Channel, where he worked from 1994 to 2000 as a studio host for some of the network's signature programs. After that, he signed on with ESPN in 2001. He serves as an anchor for SportsCenter  and is one of ESPN's golf correspondents, covering the Majors, and was also the co-host of Tirico and Van Pelt on ESPN Radio alongside Mike Tirico.

Van Pelt also hosted his own show, The Scott Van Pelt Show, for an hour after Tirico and Van Pelt (replacing Stephen A. Smith's radio show). As of July 6, 2009, Van Pelt (along with co-host Ryen Russillo) revived The Scott Van Pelt Show on ESPN Radio, broadcast 2 to 4 pm Eastern time weekdays with the second hour simulcast on ESPN2.

The current version of the show was launched on July 6, 2009, replacing Tirico and Van Pelt, which was co-hosted by Van Pelt and Mike Tirico. That show began on September 20, 2007 as The Mike Tirico Show, with Van Pelt, Michele Tafoya and Kirk Herbstreit as rotating co-hosts. The Mike Tirico Show aired from 1 pm to 3 pm under that title for a total of 160 shows until April 30, 2008.

At that time, the show was officially renamed Tirico and Van Pelt and Van Pelt also began hosting the first version of The Scott Van Pelt Show, which aired from 3 pm to 4 pm, immediately following T&VP. Van Pelt's solo hour ended in March 2009 as T&VP moved down to 2 pm to 4 pm. Tirico left the series in June 2009 to focus on his work with ESPN television.

Douglas Michael Gottlieb (born January 15, 1976 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is a former NCAA collegiate basketball player for the University of Notre Dame and Oklahoma State University and is a current ESPN analyst and host of the ESPN Radio show The Doug Gottlieb Show.

Gottlieb grew up in Orange, California, where he was the Orange County Player of the Year in 1995 for Tustin High School. Gottlieb was a high school All-American who played in the Magic's Roundball Classic following his senior year. Gottlieb was considered the "Best in the West" point guard, as rated by the Long Beach Press-Telegram. After signing a national letter of intent with Notre Dame, Gottlieb was their starting point guard during the 1995-1996 college basketball season, starting all but the first four games and leading the team with 154 assists (against only 70 turnovers) as well as steals and minutes played. 

However Gottlieb's stint at Notre Dame would be short. During Gottlieb's freshman year, he stole credit cards from a roommate and fraudulently charged over $900 to those cards; subsequently, he was expelled from the team and eventually convicted of misdemeanor fraud. Gottlieb then transferred to Golden West College where he concentrated on academics and earned an Associate of Arts in business.

In 1998, Gottlieb accepted an offer from Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton (who Gottlieb's father had once been assistant coach) to attend the university. He immediately took over as point guard for an OSU team that had gone 17-15 in consecutive years and lead the Cowboys to the NCAA tournament. After the season, Gottlieb was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention and was named the 1998 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. During his second year in Stillwater, Gottlieb was again named All-Big 12 honorable mention and led the nation in assists (8.8 per game), only the second Cowboy to lead the nation in a statistical category. He also started setting OSU assist records, breaking the school career mark with 500 (after only two seasons) and broke the school record of 22 career double-figure assist games. In a game against Florida Atlantic, Gottlieb set a school record and tied the Big 12 mark with 18 assists, and in the Big 12 tournament, he set the record for assists in a game (14) as well as in tournament play (38). The 2000 season would culminate with another trip to the NCAA tournament. As senior, Gottlieb finished second in the nation in assists with 8.5 per game. Gottlieb's senior season would end with a third consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament and the team would make it all the way to the Elite Eight.

He currently holds all of Oklahoma State's assist records and ranks tenth all-time in NCAA career assists with 947. Gottlieb graduated from OSU in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in marketing. Although a heady point guard with a knack for getting the ball to his teammates, his shooting never match his passing as he would finish with a career scoring average of only 5.2 points per game, a 37.9 field goal shooting percentage, a 23.6 three-point field goal percentage, and a 45.3 free throw percentage.

After graduating from college, the poor-shooting Gottlieb would go undrafted in the NBA draft but would be made the No 1 pick of the Enid, Oklahoma United States Basketball League team the Oklahoma Storm in the 2000 USBL Draft. Gottlieb's season with the Storm would be successful as he led the USBL in assists and helped the Storm to a 2nd place finish in the team's inaugural season (losing to the Dodge City Legend in the USBL Championship Game). Gottlieb then took his basketball career overseas, which included a stop in Israel after signing with Maccabi Raanana. Gottlieb played professionally internationally, in France, Russia and Israel.

The Idaho Stampede of the Continental Basketball Association signed him on Nov. 28, 2000, prior to training camp and then released him on Dec. 13, 2000, two days before their opening game. On Dec. 28, he signed with the Salina Rattlers of the (now defunct) International Basketball Association and played in six games (four starts) before the team released him due to Gottlieb's intent to play overseas. In February 2001, he joined Ural Great Perm of the Russian Basketball Federation and helped the team win the league championship. Following Ural's season, Gottlieb traveled to Israel and won a Gold Medal as the MVP for the United States team at the Maccabiah Games. In the title game, the US team defeated Israel 82-71. He then played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Summer League and then was invited to return to the Oklahoma Storm. However, he and new coach Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not see eye-to-eye and he was released before the season began. Following his release, Gottlieb played the 2001-2002 with the Israeli team Maccabi Ra'anana.

In 2002, Gottlieb co-hosted a midday sports-talk show on an Oklahoma City, OK radio station WWLS 640-AM known locally as "The Sports Animal". Gottlieb was hired by ESPN Radio in September 2003 as co-host of ESPN Radio's GameNight. He would then move to host The Pulse weekday evenings from 8 to 10 Eastern before moving to afternoon drive (4 P.M. to 7 P.M. ET). The hourly opening to his current program, The Doug Gottlieb Show, starts with the question, "Um, It is Doug Gottlieb, right?", a jab at his poor track record of actually hosting his own show. He also serves as a college basketball analyst for ESPN and ESPN2, additionally appearing on ESPNEWS and writing for espn.com. Gottlieb is also a frequent guest on ESPN television shows, including SportsCenter and also on College Basketball Gameday Final. He occasionally appears on the popular TV show SportsNation (TV series) as a guest host.

Gottlieb and Syracuse University basketball coach, Jim Boeheim have traded barbs since 2005 because of Gottlieb's criticism of what he regards as Syracuse's soft nonconference schedule and Boeheim's comments regarding Gottlieb's difficulties at Notre Dame. Gottlieb and Boeheim refuse to discuss their feud publicly. Along with then-University of Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl, Gottlieb helped coach the United States team at the 2009 Maccabiah Games.
