It's all over for Mike & Mike.

After 18 years together, Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic are off to do separate shows with ESPN. And after a Friday morning filled with heartfelt goodbyes from around the world, the pair said farewell on the air one last time:

Here's what they said right before that final moment:
Golic: It's been a heck of a run.


Greenberg: It has, it's been remarkable, it doesn't end for either of us. But the most important words I can think of today are thank you. Thank you to all of you for choosing this all these years.


Golic: Yeah, appreciate it very much. As Greeny said, we'll be around. I've got a week, I'll be back, he'll be back in a few months. So you'll get to see us but this is the last time we can sign off.


Greenberg: Final words: From our families to yours, thank you.


Golic: Mike and Mike signing off!

[FONT=&quot]In Sept. 2016 SI.com reported that ESPN executives were exploring moving Greenberg into a new role as the lead host of a new morning television show. Sources at ESPN say Golic had no idea that Greenberg was pursuing such an option and that he may have even learned of it via the SI.com article. “From Golic’s perspective, he thinks Mike [Greenberg] should have come to him and told him he wanted to do his own thing,” said one of the ESPN-ers. “But Greeney is very non-confrontational, truly a nice a guy, and he would say that it wasn’t incumbent on him to tell Golic everything about what he wanted to do professionally. I guess I can see both sides.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In January SI.com reported that ESPN executives were moving forward with a plan to give Greenberg a solo show. Greenberg also changed agents last year—he previously shared an agent with Golic—and signed a big deal with ESPN, which ESPN book author James Andrew Miller reported to be $6.5 million annually. That’s well over what Golic would be making on a radio-centric deal. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]At last week’s ESPN’s Upfront presentation, Greenberg said, “Over the years I have thought many times about wanting to do something different. Many times it was going out of sports. Over the course of my life I did think I would maybe go away from sports and going into news or something different. The right thing never came up. So to leave what I am doing, which has been so good, I mean, getting teamed up with Mike Golic is the best thing that ever happened to me professionally. To leave that, I would not have done it if I did not have the chance to do something really good. So I hope I do this as long as I continue working because I can shape this into whatever I want”[/FONT]
