Even if you are not a die-hard sports fan, you should definitely pick up and read this book.

Greeny, the protagonist, is simply hysterical. His antics and idiosyncrasies make for a truly entertaining read.

Moreover, his relationships with his wife, kids, and aunt are equally engaging and should not be missed. The author has done a remarkable job of depicting these relationships with great depth and authenticity.

I happened to read this book while on a plane, and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. It was a great way to pass the time and forget about the stress of traveling.

In conclusion, whether you are a sports fan or not, this book is well worth reading. It will make you laugh, it will make you think, and it will leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

My husband is a big fan of Greenberg's morning sports radio show.

When he mentioned Greenberg's new book, I promptly checked it out from the library so that Scott could read it. He liked it quite a lot and recommended it to me. So, I quickly read through it yesterday afternoon.

Greenberg combines transcripts from his radio show with what are supposed to be excerpts from his journal, which he wrote upon the recommendation of his shrink. He weaves together anecdotes with reflections on his life and attitude, mostly in relation to his wife and his impending children. He comes across as a bit stereotypical, as the title might suggest, but still manages to be relatively interesting. It's like Dave Barry with a healthy dose of sports and family life thrown in.

Some of the notable notes and quotes from the book include: "I love the way cashmere feels and I love the way Yankee Stadium smells." And also, "There is nothing in the world better than investing everything into something that means absolutely nothing." (comparing sports to war).

This book offers an interesting perspective on Greenberg's life and his views on various aspects, making it an engaging read for those interested in sports, family, and personal reflections.

Mike Greenberg is one of my favorite sports talk dudes. He hosts "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on ESPN Radio. His memoir is truly great.

In this book, Greenberg shares with the readers what it's like to be a sportscaster. He talks about the excitement of covering various sports events and the challenges that come with it.

But that's not all. He also opens up about being a dad, a husband, and a friend. He reveals how he manages to balance these different aspects of his life and make them all fit together.

If you're a fan of sports, this memoir will give you a unique perspective on the world of sports broadcasting. And if you just enjoy reading memoirs in general, you'll find this one to be a good and humorous read. So pick it up and enjoy!

This book is truly highly entertaining!

Greeny has an amazing ability to make the reader smile or even laugh out loud continuously, page after page.

Perhaps it was an added advantage for me as I am a dedicated watcher of the ESPN Mike & Mike sports talk show, of which he is one of the hosts. I was already familiar with his personality.

However, I firmly believe that anyone, regardless of whether they are familiar with him from the show or not, would thoroughly enjoy his stories and be charmed by his humor.

His writing style is engaging and his anecdotes are both relatable and hilarious. It's like having a conversation with a friend who always knows how to tell a great story and make you laugh.

This book is not just for sports fans either. It has something for everyone, with its universal themes of friendship, family, and the ups and downs of life.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun and entertaining read that will leave them with a smile on their face.

I truly relished this book from beginning to end. Greenberg is not only thoughtful but also humble and real. He shows great sensitivity towards his kids, and most importantly, he is extremely funny!

There is some outstanding writing in this book. It delves into sports, exploring the influence of sports on girls, on our generation, and vice versa. Greenberg is a master of sports facts and stats. However, what makes him even better is his thoughtfulness and the thought-provoking nature of his insights regarding sports and their significance in our lives.

Here's an example: After he purchased a poster of Anna Kournikova for his daughter and was criticized by women who took offense...

"Have you ever truly examined Anna Kournikova? She is an athlete. She is undoubtedly a beautiful woman, but she is also a jock. She has broad, athletic shoulders and muscular arms and legs. A generation ago, she might have been regarded as manly. But now, she is considered sexy, and indeed she is. And let me tell you something else that is infinitely more important about her.

She is healthy.

You don't achieve her look by making yourself vomit after eating. You don't look like her if you were on Weight Watchers at age nine. That's not the way to grow up and resemble Anna Kournikova. To look like Anna, you have to eat - a lot - and healthily. And you have to exercise. I don't just mean an hour on the treadmill; I mean lifting weights and devoting yourself to physical fitness. How much better off will my little girl be if that's what she believes is sexy? How much better off would yours be?"

This book was truly hilarious.

It was one of the funniest books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

Although it may not be considered an outstanding literary work in the traditional sense, it was still an extremely enjoyable read.

What made it even more interesting was the inclusion of a few poignant reflections on Greenberg's life.

These personal insights added depth and authenticity to the story, making it a truly engaging experience.

I found myself laughing out loud at some of the humorous situations and also reflecting on the deeper meanings behind Greenberg's words.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining read that also has a bit of substance.

It was definitely a worthwhile investment of my time, and I am sure that others will enjoy it as much as I did.

It was truly quite funny at certain times, filled with anecdotal accounts that added a touch of charm.

For the most part, it consisted of excerpts directly from his diary, which provided an interesting glimpse into his thoughts and experiences.

I, personally, found it highly amusing and engaging. However, I have a hunch that unless you are a viewer of the show, you probably wouldn't be able to extract much value or enjoyment from it.

The connection between the written words and the visual content of the show seems to be rather crucial in fully understanding and appreciating the essence of what is being presented.

Perhaps those who are not familiar with the show might find the diary excerpts a bit disjointed or lacking in context.

Nevertheless, for those who are fans of the show, it serves as a wonderful supplement, further enriching their overall experience.

Despite being a light read, it still manages to engage the reader and keep them interested from start to finish. The story is entertaining and filled with interesting characters and plot twists. It's the kind of book that you can pick up and read for a few minutes at a time, or you can sit down and read it all in one sitting.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun and easy read. It's a great way to relax and unwind after a long day.

Funny! My wife loves the title, and it makes me feel like I'm not the most neurotic man ever. It's quite an interesting situation. You know, sometimes I worry too much about little things, and I always think I'm being overly neurotic. But when my wife shows her affection for this title, it gives me a sense of relief. It's as if she is telling me that it's okay to be a little neurotic sometimes. Maybe it's a part of my charm. And it also makes me realize that in our relationship, we accept each other's flaws and idiosyncrasies. We laugh together at my neurotic moments, and it brings us closer. So, I'm actually quite glad that my wife loves this title. It makes me feel more comfortable in my own skin and reminds me that love is about acceptance and understanding.

The original article may have been concise, but let's expand it to make it a bit more engaging.

It might be cheesy, but there's no denying that it's highly entertaining.

The story or concept might not be the most original or sophisticated, but it has a certain charm that keeps you hooked.

Maybe it's the over-the-top characters, the predictable plot twists, or the blatant use of clichés.

But despite all that, it manages to bring a smile to your face and keep you entertained from start to finish.

Sometimes, you just need a bit of cheesy entertainment to brighten up your day.

It doesn't have to be deep or meaningful; it just has to be fun.

So don't be too quick to dismiss something as cheesy.

Give it a chance, and you might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

After all, entertainment comes in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes the cheesiest ones are the most memorable.

I watch Mike & Mike every single morning without fail. It has become a part of my daily routine. The hosts of this show, they are truly something special. This guy in particular, his sense of humor is absolutely hilarious! He always manages to crack me up with his witty remarks and comical antics. Whether it's his take on the latest sports news or his banter with the other host, it never fails to bring a smile to my face. I look forward to tuning in each day just to see what he'll come up with next. His humor is infectious and it really sets the tone for a great start to my day.
