When you need to get the fans riled up before a huge NCAA tournament game against a #1 seed, you bring in the big guns. You bring in someone who’s going to get the crowd on their feet. Someone who is going to make fans want to run through some walls and do whatever it takes to support their team. You call on a man who eats sandwiches with a fork and knife, you call on…. Mike Greenberg.
Thats right, the co-host of America’s favorite morning sports radio show, Mike & Mike. This is the guy who can juice the fans up and give them the energy they need before a big game. The speech says it all.
