On Wednesday’s edition of The Michael Kay Show, Don La Greca called out fellow ESPN New York host Dave Rothenberg. La Greca said the morning man regularly makes content out of disagreeing with clips from the afternoon show.
La Greca said he doesn’t mind the disagreement, but he wants the protocol to change. He challenged Dave Rothenberg to tell The Michael Kay Show crew that their opinions are wrong to their faces instead of doing it on his show without La Greca, Kay, or Peter Rosenberg in the room. La Greca said he would be happy to be on with DiPietro and Rothenberg or Dave could come on the afternoon show.
“I am willing to do a weekly on their show if Dave will do a weekly on our show,” La Greca said Wednesday. “We can hash out our issues, because it seems like there are two or three things every week that he’s got a problem with.”
Thursday morning on DiPietro and Rothenberg, producer RJ Santillo played audio of the challenge. Rothenberg said he would accept the challenge, but not for free.
“Get this baby sponsored,” he said. “I lay down the gauntlet not only to Don and Peter, but to sales as well. Get it sponsored and I’ll go on their show.”
The show debated whether or not it could count on the sales department to actually get the segments sponsored. Rick DiPietro predicted that not only would it not get sponsored, but if it did, that Dave Rothernberg would dread having to hold up to his end of the deal.
