Fred Toucher HATES Mike Greenberg
On Get Up Today, Mike Greenberg did a segment about how the Jets are the biggest threat to the Chiefs in the AFC. Fred Toucher did not like that and it sent him into a complete and utter spiral. I should clarify and say that the spiral was a perfectly crafted rant that completely torched Greenburg.
Before I show the quote, it should be known that the rant stems from Facebook article featuring Greenberg where he offered career advice:
“He’s dropping the facade when he’s talking, this isn’t friendly Greenberg, this is business, Greenberg. Listen to this no-talent pr–k,” Toucher said while diving deep into the media business. “This guy who is making all this money, listen to his advice: ‘If you’re not writing out your teases, you’re not hosting a show.’ He’s like, ‘You could be the funniest guy, the most interesting guy. You could know the most about sports. But it doesn’t mean anything if you’re not holding people over the breaks.’
“I said, ‘That is tremendous advice. If you’re the most interesting, funny person in the world, really it all comes down to your teases.’ What a hacky, dumb thing to say. Talk about a guy justifying his career. That’s your career, that you’ve written out teases for what’s coming up next?”
Is Toucher wrong? Does anybody actually like Mike Greenberg? Has there been a single moment in Greenberg’s career where you remember something memorable that he said? I’d argue the answer is an easy no.
Great rant, Toucher. It’s also wild advice by Greenberg. Nobody at ESPN is hiring some random because he has great teases. It just doesn’t happen.
