I apologize in advance, but I still miss Mike North.

Can you imagine something like that happening on WSCR today? I'm sorry, when he stuck to sports, North was the best.

Well, I laughed quite a bit during the "Fritzy's Night On The Town" bits.

Imagine that Harry suckwad comes back to tell us he doesn't like something. Shocking....

That was great! I remember listening to it on my way to work and being stunned.

I apologize in advance, but I still miss Mike North.

I made a post, yesterday, stating that the main reason I don't really care for Parkins (though he's not anywhere near the dive_for_the_power_button that a guy like Larry Holmes). He's smug, touchy, and ultra condescending....but, more than anything, I just don't find him likable. I don't knock him for his upbringing, but he's so astounded when someone (even after hearing his vocally staggered reason(s)) can still disagree with him ... I just don't care for his overall snarky, smarmy and sarcastic take on everything.

Anyhoo, during transition, today, I hear McNeil bring up some question (he got yesterday) about McDoink on the horribly overrated Can't Do It .... and wonders if Connor was ok with how he answered. Blah blah blah, Mac eventually says the thing he really likes about him is that he is likable (despite the long-winded non questions he asks).

I thought that was odd, but surely just a coincidence. But then, tuning in a bit later, I hear Parkins wow'ing the audience with his incredible fortune to have seen Jordan play "like, uh, 50 times" ... how appreciative he is. Mac said something, then Parkins says "well, I mean that's not likable, but what was I supposed to do ... tell my dad that I didn't want to go to games in 1997?"

I'm far from a regular poster here (guys like beardown truly keep me away), and oft times question how much the guys at the station actually read this joint, but it turns out you guys were right.....so like the late, great Jerry Orbach said in Dirty Dancing -- "when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong."

Parkins just told a story about one of the reasons he was so glad Alabama lost last night. He bought he and his wife (she want to Clemson) tickets for the 2016(?) National Title game that Clemson lost to Alabama, made a sizable wager on the game, and bought plane tickets so they could fly there. Clemson lost and he was mad because he spent so much money on everything and could have won so much money had Clemson won. Clemson winning last night was so satisfying for him because of that, and now "we" are the best team in college football.

That's a pretty normal human emotion.

Plus, it came on the heels of him giddily going on and on about how Clemson is poised to be the most dominant program in college football for the next 10 years (which may very well be true) that prompted McKnight to say "My enjoyment of Clemson's win just ended five seconds ago."

They talked about this during transition today. I did not hear it, but apparently during Bernstein and McKnight today they talked about how Parkins' enthusiasm for X has the unique ability to make people hate X.

He has had that effect on me with Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't dislike either of them but find myself rooting against them because Parkins is so annoying about them.

Bernstein said that? That is exactly how I feel about Bernstein. I would hate puppies if he liked them

They did a segment about racial equality when it comes to NFL head coaches and how white candidates are replacing black coaches this go-around. I texted to remind them that they replaced a black man to get the afternoon spot.
