I finally got to hear the story of what happened with Strahan and I have to say that regardless of whether or not he is an idiot, what makes what North, Mac and Fred did any better? They came off as, I think, even bigger idiots than Strahan.
I found it funny to hear both Mac and North say that they were "talking loud" near where Stahan was working. You've each of these two before and I think that talking loud to them is the equivalent of shouting by anyone else. Besides, why not just walk away from the situation instead of pulling an idiotic, childish thing like yelling "Prenup" back at the guy. An action like that isn't justified and only makes them look just as stupid. By the way, they are both so-called media members and, as such, should comport themselves better instead of acting like a couple of drunk fans looking to start something. To me that's what this incident sounded like.
The best part of the story, to me, was that these guys are defending North's "chesting up" like this is some great, macho thing. The fact you are in this position makes you look foolish and defending it with this Chicago vs New York thing is just ridiculous. Telling him "do you know who I am" was laughable because I would guess that the vast majority of people don't know who North is. Besides, what's he going to do to him anyway? This sounded like that Goodfellas-wanna-be schtick that comes out of his mouth on a daily basis.
All parties involved should be embarrassed by what they did, yet both North and Mac each tell this story as if they made some great stand for truth and justice. I'm not going to defend Strahan because I think he can be a tool as well, as evidenced by his confrontation with the female reporter earlier this year. Yet, judging by the way both North and Mac tell the story one would think that what they did and said was justifiable.
