National reaction to A.J. Brown calling into 94WIP to address Philly media

All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown called into Sports Radio 94WIP and let it be known that he’s misunderstood and wants to remain with the Eagles

A.J. Brown is one of the most authentic people you’ll ever meet, and that straight-shooter approach has left some confused and unsure of how to read the All-Pro wide receiver.

Brown wants to play football and has no time for the media shenanigans that engulf Philadelphia and its legendary sports radio culture.

With rumors of locker room discourse swirling, Brown called into Sports Radio 94WIP to set the record straight on some things and get to the root of the local media’s apparent infatuation with controversy and negativity surrounding the team.

Brown made it clear that he wants to “remain with the Eagles”, and steered clear of any discussions involivng his relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The national media reacted to everything involving the Eagles, and Brown’s radio debut was no different.

Mike Golic back to college football role at ESPN

Mike Golic’s incredible run doing mornings on ESPN radio may be ending but his career in broadcasting isn’t over by any stretch…

Mike Golic is wrapping up an incredible run as the host of ESPN’s national radio show, a role he has held since January of 2000 when he and Mike Greenberg began hosting “Mike and Mike”, a run that would last over 17 years together.

Golic continued to host the morning show with Trey Wingo after Greenberg left to focus on the TV side but earlier this month it was determined Golic would no longer be a part of ESPN Radio’s plans.

Now he’s onto his next role, that being his original job at the “Worldwide Leader in Sports”, news that Adam Schefter broke on Monday.

I was never a big “Mike and Mike” fan but their success together speaks for itself.  Working in radio since 2005 I have nothing but admiration for anyone who can hold onto a morning drive hosting spot for over twenty years.

The college football world gets to hear Golic now analyzing their game on the regular, something he starred at decades ago.

The former Notre Dame captain played eight years in the NFL for the Oilers, Eagles and Dolphins.  His media career began while playing for the Eagles as he’d have a weekly segment on quarterback Randall Cunningham’s television show.

The rest as they say, is history.
