ESPN’s Mike & Mike to Sing “Livin’ on a Prayer,” Shower in Beer

SOUTH BEND, Ind.--The Linebacker Lounge, a popular seedy bar located southeast of Notre Dame Stadium, is preparing to host ESPN's popular metrosexual morning sports talk show, "Mike & Mike in the Morning". The show, hosted by Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, rolls into South Bend Friday morning, certainly on the shoulders of some influence from Golic, a former Notre Dame football player.

And the piano sounds like a carnival! And the microphone smells like a beer!
