He is a snooze but you do need someone to give historical perspective if you are looking to tell the story.

True, GD. I was looking more for reaction, because if I remember correctly, it didn't end well for Mac and Ron Gleason, now programming 780 AM WBBM & sister station 105.9 FM WCFS, the first time around...

Anyone who takes mic time away from Mac and Fatpants is a plus.

But isn't Ofman on WBBM, which means its all CBS? I don't see the issue.

Are you referring to Tommy "We have a failure to entertain..." Williams?

How about Swieca?

I think that she at least had no problem with Spiegs.........or not?

I think she had her own latenight show in the early years of The SCORE going 24/7. She's no longer in the sports talk biz, and I wonder if she had issues with previous management.

A couple things about Julie. I think she got tired of being the only girl in an all boy's club. I believe she found North to be rather crude. She wasn't wrong. But if I remember correctly, her departure came when the Cubs had those good teams and she was ordered to talk Cubs. Julie is a Sox fan and wanted to talk Sox with the regular drooling mouth-breathers who called her show. I think she got angry because she felt like no one else was given orders on what topics to discuss.

Yeah, I think you're right....mostly a problem with management orders and double standards.

Julie was awful, that is why she got let go and maybe her on Sox-cam in the parking lot.

Sir had Julie on the other night during a walk down memory lane. I was glad to hear she found herself someone as that seemed to be something that weighed heavily on her psyche. Typical nerdy Julie, she received Cubs-Sox tickets as a wedding gift (gee thanks) and made up a sign to get on TV. If you were that desperate to get noticed, why did you leave the radio.

I thought she did a fantastic job on the Sunday morning baseball show.
