Mike Greenberg made a mistake today on “Mike and Mike in the Morning” on ESPN that got weatherman Rob Blair fired from his job in 2005. Coming out of a commercial break Greenberg said “Martin Luther Coon-King Junior holiday.” Take a listen to the video for Greenberg’s slip-of-the-tongue.
I don’t know what happened but Mike Greenberg has to address the mistake. This isn’t a bulging dick that everyone can get a good laugh from. There’s racism involved and on MLK Day of all days.
I can only think of three reasons why Greenberg fucked up like this:
1. Honest slip of the tongue combining King and Junior.
2. He had been talking about or thinking of the name/word and accidentally carried it on-air.
3. He meant to do it.
Mike, if your excuse is number two or three I’d like to be the first to say you’re a piece of shit and a little bitch. If number one is you’re excuse I apologize for what I said in the previous sentence but you’re still a little bitch.

Mike, you say what you grow into becoming “a coon” and you just showed everyone what your parents taught you while growing up, NO NO SLIP OF THE TONGUE AND YOU HAVE BEEN USING “COON” A LONG TIME.
ESPN SHOULD TAKE YOU AND YOUR SHOW OFF THE NETWORK YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO SOCIETY, OH! I forgot you are not a part of society.
