Mike and Mike's Rules for Sports and Life

by Mike Greenberg

First published 2010

ESPN Radio's Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg draw from their years broadcasting to over three million daily listeners. The duo presents their take on fixing sports and everyday life through practical rules. They argue Independence Day should move to create a four day weekend. They want to eliminate the designated hitter rule in baseball. They believe NBA draft lottery picks should reward teams that barely missed playoffs rather than those that quit trying. The hosts tackle parenting decisions like refusing kids french fries for breakfast. They dismiss "the human element" in sports officiating as worthless. Their rules cover everything from losing arguments with dignity to why people lie about going to Hooters for the food. The book captures the same back and forth banter that made their morning show popular with sports fans seeking both humor and strong opinions.
