JDawg and Mike Magic

The Sports Hangover is a funnny light-hearted show that goes over the latest news in the sports world. JDawg gives great insight and makes bold predictions. Mike brings the fun to the table and the chemistry between the two is phenomenal. Can't tell if they are lovers or not but they sure act like it and it is comedy gold.
