I believe he was voted president of Liechtenstein in a hotly contested election. He officially took office just recently.

Hello McFly?! The guy who looked like Vikings' head coach Brad Childress and most recently, "Frasier" himself Kelsey Grammer, now works for ChicagoSportsWebio.com as a field reporter.

I heard he boarded a jet. Of course the pilot is going for his 4th consecutive CRASH & BURN adventure.

North Sucks!

Everyone assumes - and I have, too - that the webio will fail. That's really up to David Hernandez. As long as he's willing to pump dollars into it and/or tolerate losses, and the webio merely continues to operate, it can be considered a success. They may be counting on the growth internet access in cars to save them. That might be several years away from reaching critical mass.

On the other hand, maybe Hernandez thinks this is a get rich quick scheme, and North wants to use it as a springboard to another radio gig. If Hernandez isn't taking the long view, they'll need to prove listenership numbers using 3rd party data and sell a lot of ads immediately. But, given how tight ad spending is, and that companies are passing up ads on actual radio, what shot does a webio have to make money?

Heard that on B&B today and that was pretty shitty how Vinny acted especially for a guy who should have been fired 5 months ago.

Hawkeye, it sounded like Vinny Del Negro put Ofman in his place and took offense to a question that was asked...Think of all the times when Ditka erupted and singled out Red Mottlow for ridicule...

Summary:


Offman asked some dumb question during a press conference. Del Negro answered it, but then-

Vinny: Who are you, by the way?
George: George Offman, I'm a veteran chicago sports reporter.
Vinny: Where have you been?
George: Oh, I just got this new job, I can tell you more about it after this is done.
Vinny: ok.


Seriously - that was what they said. B&B replayed it ten times and giggled at it each time. I didn't see the big deal, other than George's response to Vinny's original question to him. That was kinda dumb.

I'd laugh too. I agree with B&B, webio is funny and so is George.

I read George is in Calgary to cover the Blackhawks/Flames' Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight & I believe Wednesday night for ChicagoSportsWebio.com...He & Comcast SportsNet's Joe Piscopo-looking Josh Mora are the lone Chicago reporters making the trip. Budget issues? I think so...

No budget issues for David "I got $$$ comin' outa my ass" Hernandez, baby! Big dough to hire away the best "talent" from the Score and MVP? No problem! Hire Ray Mancini? No problem! Pay money for nuthin' to BeBe to keep Mikey happy? No problem! Send George to Calgary? No problem! Open the tap! Let it flow! That ad money from Spada must really be rollin' in!

(Thanks, I KNEW Josh Mora reminded me of someone and could never nail it.)
