Mike Greenberg Furious With New Holiday Tradition

Mike Greenberg began his career with ESPN way back in September 1996 and has become one of the 'Everything Sports Network's' most well known hosts.

Greenberg is known for his outspoken opinions on everything from sports teams and players to off-the-field issues and controversies.

On Tuesday, Greenberg took aim at an unlikely target as he decided to speak on something near and dear to the hearts of many people but understood but countless others: the spin-off Thanksgiving themed holiday titled 'Friendsgiving.'

ESPN Radio called Greenberg's rant on the topic the ultimate 'get off my lawn" rant, as 'Greenie' proceeded to eviscerate those who celebrate the relatively fringe holiday tradition in surprisingly upset fashion.

"If you have or attend a 'Friendsgiving,' I don't want to be friends with you," Greenberg ranted in a video shared by the X account.

"I'm not going, I'm not interested in being invited, there's nothing on Earth I'd rather do than host one, and I think it is the dumbest concept I have ever heard in my entire life," Greenberg continued.

"Some things that we are doing now, I don't want to be that guy, I don't want to be the guy who's out here complaining about how much better things used to be but we have invented some stupid things in our culture and this is one of them.

"The only worse thing than the Friendsgiving is the Gender Reveal where some idiot goes out there and hits a golf ball, it either turns out blue or pink. Most of these things are staged anyway."

Greenberg did not let up as he finished off his rant with a cherry on top.

"The Gender Reveal is an abomination, topped only by the Friendsgiving," he said.
