Should An ESPN National Radio Show Host Know Who Ron Wolf Is?
Mike Golic Jr. is a notable name at ESPN. Partly due to his last name. His dad, Mike, ran things with Mike Greenberg for years and years. Golic Jr. seems to be a well-liked guy across the board. He has his own afternoon show with Chiney Ogwumike And he is not stuffy like other Big Js at the mothership. That said, Golic Jr had a weird moment yesterday when quote tweeting something former Green Bay Packers general manager Ron Wolf said to the 1250AM here in Milwaukee. Golic Jr. seemed to think that Wolf was an ‘obscure former player’ versus someone who ran things for years. Wolf feels like a person Golic Jr should know despite the former Packers GM building that roster when the ESPN host was a youngster.
we need more obscure former Packers. who is the most random Packer we can book for the show later and badger with questions about Rodgers?

In some aspects, I get it. He’s not from Wisconsin. He is not a Packers fan. But Wolf is a Hall of Famer. He is not some obscure guy. And when he talks, people listen in the State of Wisconsin. To act like Wolf’s opinion doesn’t matter here is pretty dumb. Golic Jr. was attempting a dunk that missed terribly. The worst part too is that he never cleaned it up. There is so much more pressure on him to be good because of the chirps about him getting a job because of his dad. And when things like this happen, people start to wonder and ask about that kind of thing.
