The Sports Guys was a morning drive time sports radio program that was broadcast on WNEW-FM in New York City from Spring 2000 to early 2003.

The show never had great ratings and suffered from poor station management and direction. Part of this can be attributed to the fact that the show was up against Howard Stern on a station that was co-owned with WNEW. In fact, this show had one of the most busy revolving door of hosts of any morning show (leading O&A to describe the show as "the Menudo of radio"). It was very common for a host to go on "vacation" and then never return to the show. At it was however, the personalities of the show that gave this show its appeal.

WNEW as a talk station never took off; only the afternoon duo of Opie and Anthony had any real ratings success. By the time Scott Ferrall had taken over the show, the name "Sports Guys" was dropped. Following the firing of Opie and Anthony, WNEW never recovered and eventually dropped the talk format altogether in early 2003.
