Former ESPN Host of Groundbreaking “Mike & Mike” Radio Show Brings Decades of Sports and Media Insight to Platform Ahead of 2025 Relaunch
LOS ANGELES, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stargaze Entertainment Group Inc. (“Stargaze” or the “Company”) (OTC PK: STGZ), a content creation and social platform designed to redefine talent discovery, has appointed legendary sports broadcaster and former NFL defensive lineman Mike Golic to its Advisory Board. Golic is widely recognized for co-hosting ESPN’s award-winning “Mike & Mike” radio show, a nationally syndicated program that ran for nearly two decades and was simulcast on ESPN2 and ESPN News, helping to redefine sports talk for a national audience. As an advisor, Golic will support Stargaze’s efforts to expand its presence among athletes, sports personalities, and fans while contributing to platform development and partnership strategy.
“Mike Golic has been a household name in the sports world for several decades, not just as a player, but as one of the most respected voices in sports broadcasting –now he brings his unique perspective to Stargaze, blending deep connection to his broadcasting career and his professional NFL football career that helped define contemporary sports television and talk radio,” said Steve Mandell, CEO of Stargaze. “His insight, industry knowledge, and track record in both sports media and professional football make him a perfect fit for our team as we continue to shape the future of talent discovery.”
While playing with the Philadelphia Eagles, Golic decided to begin his television career with a weekly segment on the “Randall Cunningham Show,” which earned him a Mid-Atlantic Region Emmy Award. Following his playing career, Golic held several other broadcasting stints before rising to national prominence as co-host of the popular “Mike & Mike” radio show alongside Mike Greenberg from 2000 to 2017. The show became a staple for morning sports fans across the country and helped transform the sports talk genre with its blend of sharp analysis, humor, and camaraderie. The program’s influence was later recognized with inductions into both the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Broadcasting Hall of Fame and the National Radio Hall of Fame. Additionally, the “Off Mikes” animated segments from “Mike & Mike” won a Sports Emmy Award. Today, Golic co-hosts a daily sports show, “Gojo and Golic,” with his son Mike Golic Jr. and calls NFL games for Westwood One Radio.
Previously, Golic played nine seasons in the NFL with the Houston Oilers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Miami Dolphins, appearing in over 100 games and establishing himself as a standout defensive player. In addition to his professional sports and broadcasting career, Golic has made appearances in television and film projects including the movie “Valentine’s Day,” “Guiding Light,” and the ESPN poker drama “Tilt.” He has lent his voice and personality to numerous national ad campaigns for brands such as Domino’s Pizza, Bass Pro Shops, Dr. Pepper, and IKEA.
“I’ve always believed in building real connections between athletes and fans and Stargaze is doing that in an entirely new way,” said Golic. “The platform the Stargaze team is developing has the potential to change the media, entertainment, and sports landscape for the better, and I’m excited to help guide their mission to create greater access and opportunity for the next generation of talent.”
