Meet the hosts

Two hosts. One desk.

A producer paired them for one segment “to balance the energy.” Chip calls it the best accident in broadcasting. Big Mike calls it a scheduling error.

Big Mike

Senior sports analyst · Founder, Big Mike

A career between the film room and the spreadsheet: Video & Stats Coordinator, Pro Scout, Director of Research. He built Big Mike so every pick is graded in public, wins and losses. Chip brings the energy. He brings the receipts.

“I’d rather be right quietly, be wrong in public, and keep the record either way.”

Chip Callahan

Host & play-by-play · 30+ seasons

A small-town radio kid who called his first touchdown from the press box roof. Three decades of play-by-play later, he still gets goosebumps at kickoff, and asks the questions you are yelling at your TV.
