The guest hosts were talking about the Urlacher fine for product endorsement, and one of them relates the endosement rules back to Jim McMahon's headband.

Annie jumps in with "Oh yeah, the Punky QB headband".

The guest host just politely said that the headband named a shoe company.

Everything in sports is just a blur to her. It doesn't stop her from guessing though.

If you hear even 15 minutes a day of the show, it's interesting to hear how non-specifc she is, or how she often just repeats what Mike will say, in lesser words, and almost always in agreeance.

Last few weeks, her new thing has been "Cubbie luck." Mark Prior gets injured - to Annie, that's "Cubbie luck.".

Cubs lose a close game ? That's "Cubbie Luck."

I wonder if Mike or Fred came up with that idea as a way for her to stay in the conversation, but not really offer anything up to the plate.

Sounds like the WGN brainwashing is still working on her. Someone remind her she doesn't work for their flagship anymore.

hey ButtDigger, the third most associated term with 'cub luck' is mark prior http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... ext=Search

Actually, it's BigDick, but thanks for playing!

Annie only is using her catch phrases like Cubbie Luck because she can't contribute to a conversation with actual knowledge of what's happening on the field.

I think I just heard Annie ask what was wrong with Wade's shoulder while discussing the game last night.

You'd think she might know, after all it was a major injury that was all over all the news and he's playing in a playoff series against the Bulls. Jesus...

Annie has no sports knowledge and at this point, you would think they would just send the ditz home and pay her just not to be there.

Also this morning, North mentions that the Yankees were swept by the Devil Rays, and how they spent $300 million, and have no starting pitchers (an exaggeration, but North probably doesn't know the facts, but I do agree in general that NYY pitching staff stinks even when healthy), and Annie chimes in with "Sound familiar?", referring to the Cubs. Mike corrects her, saying that they had signed some guys, and Annie's response was "like Rich Hill"

I think the only thing more impressive than her having this job, is keeping it as long as she has. How Mike doesn't see her as a show killer only continues to show is relationship with Harvey.

Mike North Bashing the Cubs? Impossible.
