Does anyone have any thoughts on him? I never thought I would want PMac and JMac back on the radio more than I do after listening to him.


I just flipped in and heard him say 'The Mike North Morning Show on WSCR'

Anyone hear the show from NY? Details?

Thanks for that link, sounds like he bombed

Seems to be making some mistakes, too nervous I guess, but seriously, what the fuck, if you read the topics, they say they're sick of the over the top,hyper sports talk. So here he has to do all the politics and shit, and over there he goes and does the old school sports talk?

We're used to his style, but he is way too loud for new listeners.

Apparently he told the NY fans of his love for Isiah. That is the equivalent of a new host stating he thought Wannie was good.

Apparently, a major miscalculation by North in trying to relate to the NY fans.

Plus who would want to hear anything Knicks related right now?

I listened for the first 20 minutes and it was far better than his show in the morning slot here right now.

Well, it had one key thing that helped it along....

No Anne.

The last post in the topic is just perfect....

Alright, send this guy back to Chicago.

We should play a game called "Which NY poster reminds you of a CSFMB member?" Because there are some definite smart asses over there...

I actually considering registering and posting a follow up.

We don't want him and you keep him.

Oh yeah, that'll help him get over there!

Who do you think gets the slot? Without knowing the candidates, it's fair to assume a guy whose mildly entertaining, who you can listen to without getting a migraine, will get the nod. A Dan Patrick clone, perhaps. How about Boomer? Because, our friend decided to be Mr. Bombastic, and I can't see how there's enough friends who can call in to make it enjoyable enough that someone'd want daily servings.

Sigh.

Oh, if we could just make it a reality that North would have to stay in NYC.......

Sadly, he'll be back tomorrow. With his "advice" to "fix" the White Sox, the Cubs, the Bulls, the Bears; etc.

*sigh*

Too bad they didn't like him.

I'm not even sure he'll have time to cover the Chicago sports teams. He'll be too busy detailing every moment of his NY tryout, and have a post self-tribute to himself.

You know him all too well, BD.

North detailed today that "they" consider message boards the same way he does: they are a bunch of "retards".

He was very proud that he was getting many comments on the board. I saw one thread regarding North. It was three pages long with many of the posts commenting on other fill ins.
