Keyshawn Johnson Celebrates Mike Golic, Hopes To Follow In Honesty Footprints

Keyshawn Johnson sat down with Clay's buddy Peter King to talk about this new ESPN Radio morning show job that he will be assuming now that the Worldwide Leader has decided to send Mike Golic out to the pasture. Keyshawn said the right things about his football resume and how he's following a legend, but one thing that stuck out from the conversation was when he references the times changing and the ESPN Radio morning listener changing.

I'm just some regular guy out here in Ohio who used to hit up an Applebees here and there because Golic would swear by the burgers. It sounds to me like the morning show, which will air from 6-10 a.m. EST, is about to change how it does business. Call me crazy, but it sounds like the days of Greeny milking a cow and Golic chowing on Subway is about to be replaced by something that's not Middle America fun -- beer, food, laughs and sports.

From Keyshawn Johnson's chat with Peter King:

"I think our show’s going to be a fresh breath," Keyshawn added about the show that will also include Jay Williams and Zubin Mehenti. Fresh breath? We need a follow-up question on that. Fresh breath compared to what?






Here's how Keyshawn made the move to New York City for his new job.
