early years for all commercials on radio and television was: "What makes them different makes them great." Mike Greenberg was portrayed as a stereotypical nerd and with a man-crush on whoever the starting quarterback was for his favorite team (the New York Jets), for whom he is openly partisan. Meanwhile, former Notre Dame and NFL lineman Mike Golic was set up in the role of the tough and boisterous "man's man," a former pro athlete who liked nothing more than to eat stereotypically unhealthy foods and "tell it like it is." Regular guest hosts and contributors Even if either Greenberg or Golic (or even both) were absent from the show, the show still used the Mike and Mike title. On those days, guest hosts filled in, and the show followed the same format. Regular guest hosts included Adnan Virk, Ric Bucher, Marcellus Wiley, Mike Golic Jr., and regular contributors Buster Olney, Mark Schlereth, Cris Carter, Herman Edwards and Trey Wingo. Other regular contributors include Chris Mortensen, Tim Kurkjian, Dick Vitale, Tim Legler, and Jayson Stark.

When the TV simulcast began broadcasting in HD, the radio SportsCenter updates were no longer simulcast on ESPN2, replaced by TV-specific SportsCenter updates, usually anchored by Sage Steele, Jonathan Coachman, Darren Lyn, George Smith or Michael Kim. Greenberg and Golic on other ESPN and ABC ventures The team of Greenberg and Golic had also worked in other ESPN ventures, including a game show (ESPN Bowling Night), and coverage of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. From 2000-2001, they were occasional panelists for the ESPN game show 2 Minute Drill. In 2007, they were the lead broadcast team for ESPN's coverage of the Arena Football League. It was announced in June 2007 that Greenberg and Golic would also call a National Football League game together for ESPN, broadcasting the second game of ESPN's Week 1 Monday Night Football doubleheader along with former NFL coach and player Mike Ditka. In June 2008, ESPN announced that the "Three Mikes" will return to broadcast the second game of the opening 2008 Monday Night Football doubleheader. Their last Monday Night Football assignment was in 2009. Starting on December 17, 2007, Greenberg also hosted the game show Duel. The show
