Unsportsmanlike and ESPN’s Morning Show
Unsportsmanlike launched in the summer of 2023 as ESPN Radio’s new flagship morning program, part of a network shift toward seasoned radio voices. The show pairs Cohen with Super Bowl champion Chris Canty and former ESPN producer-turned-host Michelle Smallmon. (Barrett Media)
Cohen has described the trio’s dynamic as a genuine team effort: “We entered as three individuals, and after two years we’re teammates… it means when we’re not doing the show too,” he told Barrett Media in 2025.

Before ESPN: SiriusXM and Two Decades in West Palm Beach
Before returning to ESPN, Cohen spent over a decade at SiriusXM, hosting the Mad Dog Sports Radio morning show from 2011 and contributing daily shows to SiriusXM NBA Radio from 2018 to 2023. (ESPN Press Room)
Earlier, he spent roughly 20 years in West Palm Beach radio (2003–2022), a period he later called “the greatest training ground ever to do national radio.” During those years he also worked as a TV sports anchor for the local NBC affiliate (2010–11), served as a play-by-play commentator, sideline reporter and analyst for Florida Atlantic University basketball and football (2005–12), and hosted the Miami Hurricanes Radio Network post-game show (2007–09).

He first contributed to ESPN’s national radio lineup in a part-time role back in 2010 before re-joining full-time in 2023.
Early Life and Education
Cohen’s broadcasting career began at WSUM, the University of Wisconsin–Madison student radio station, where he also interned with ABC, NBC Sports, WFAN and MSG Radio. He graduated from UW–Madison in 2002. (UW–Madison School of Journalism)
Growing up, he was a fan of Mike & The Mad Dog on WFAN — an influence he has cited as an early inspiration for pursuing radio. (Barrett Media)
Role at Good Karma Sports
Beyond his on-air work, Cohen has served as Vice President of Content at Good Karma Sports, a Milwaukee-based sports media company, since 2023. In that role he oversees the on-air product and content strategy across the company’s brands. (UW–Madison School of Journalism)
Personal Life
Cohen keeps his personal life largely private. No verified public information about a spouse or children is available from credible sources, and this article does not repeat unsourced claims about his family. Like fellow broadcast journalists — including Kevin Corke, whose private life is similarly guarded — Cohen maintains a clear boundary between his public career and private life.
