As quickly as Mike Golic opened the door for a Mike & Mike reunion someday down the road with his old radio partner Mike Greenberg, he shut it.

While appearing on Dan Patrick’s show on Monday, Golic was asked what his answer usually is when he’s asked about getting back together with Greenberg.

His reply: “I guess the best answer would be: This is a crazy business where paths cross and re-cross all the time, so you never can say never.”

Hmm. That’s not a full-on NO!

But then he went and rained on parades by paraphrasing Mike Tomlin, who shut down USC coaching rumors earlier this year by saying, “Never say never, but NEVER!” Golic’s version was, “It’s never gonna happen.”

OK then!
