Mike just read a Text fromt he "LONE TEXTER"

"Why does Annie act like she is an expert on everything and why is she so annoying?"

Mike goes ahead and reads the text and then asks Annie if she would like to reply. Mike reads it again, saying "I am not saying it, the Lone texter is"

Mike we all know why you read it. We all know why you read it a second time and asked Annie to reply? It's because you hate her as much as we do. You only wanted her there to sooth your massive ego.

Annie then responds with a "I don't know what he means?"

Mike laughs and reads the "expert part again" as if to say "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU DON"T UNDERSTAND HIS STATEMENT?"

Annie reponds, "I don't pretend to be an expert on everything"

Mike Moves on to the Booby Knight slap incident and of course talks about his great influences who hit him.

annie then breaks in with 'Experts have studied this type of physical punishment anb that's why there is a movement to go away from it"

A. Would love to see the Study? and Movement?

B. Hey Annie, how about it just HURTS and people stopped?:

I don't think Mike hates Annie - he could have easily replaced her, and passed the decision as management's, but he continues to refer to her as a talent that he discovered.

Now, I agree, she has no business there, she offers nothing to the show, and if North wants to improve his ratings, he needs to be seen as serious Chicago sports show, and it doesn't help having a sports retard on the air.

As far as the studies, I'm sure there have been studies done, but I'm sure Annie couldn't produce it - times have changed, if you touch me, i sue!
