I watched most of the show today and I just don’t get it. One second they are talking super bowl, the next thing you know Mike is wanting to talk about some stagehand that thinks Mike is the best.

Doing Webio recaps was one thing, but having to recap a show and actually look at this ass-faced idiot is a totally another thing, its virtually impossible. He isn’t funny, when he tries to be, it’s embarrassing, then he knows this show is a huge failure and reverts back to what might have been funny 10 years ago, he is so lost right now, I don’t even think he knows how lost he is.

If Comcast was running this show, Jen would have been fired by now, by insisting to include her in anything on the air is just bad and every time she talks, it is crystal clear she also is way over her head. If she did the weather and traffic updates t0pless, that wouldn’t even save her job, she peaked as Mike’s personal tag along, time to lose the jen-jen. She also can’t book a guest, anyone national has come on to plug something, and a chimp could book these guests. Plus Mike said on his Webio show that Shaq would be on in the first two weeks, haven’t seen him, it appears the rolodex lost all its “S” numbers I guess.

There is nothing different on this show then what the old MNMS and Webio had, jagbag, kudos of the day, NDHS talk and the same stupid and lame stories that we have heard over the years. These two bits have no effort whatsoever put into it and at least twice, kudos have been handed out to NDHS and Rosemont, its sad.

Where are the million dollar advertisers? Still the same ones from the first day, is Mike trying to say that between, NDHS, Rosemont and First Step that they are paying out $800,000? This is the problem, Mike is a good liar, he thinks that’s translates into being a businessman, that’s just going to make him lose money in the end, keep the fantasy advertisers up pappy, see how that goes with people you deal with. Plus, maybe he can share why Schlitz left him in the dust, from what I understand, broken promises and pappy crap ruined that relationship.

This show was bad for the first week, the first two days of the 2nd week, there was some promise for it, then Pappy went right back to his old ways, the ways that cost him his job at the score, the ways that made him unable to win more then 3 books over his last 5 years at the score, the ways that made him a untrusting boob, but I guess the world needs those too. Now he is leading the charge to get Norm Van Lier and Ditkas numbers retired, nothing like trying to do something 3 times before it takes, but I suspect that this will fade away like those big paychecks Mike use get. This is desperation time for Pappy and he is only 4 weeks in, like I said, predictable.

In 4 weeks, pappy has proved a few things, one is that he lacks any type of creative skill, the only way he can get a gig is to risk his money and that he doesn’t give a crap if he fails because he will always have someone to blame. Give this train-wreck another month of bad shows, jigs will be gone and Jen will getting more air time then she could ever imagine, then the real bad will start, pappy is predictable and his little comments are setting the path for this show to be his biggest money loser yet, but at least he did it his way

as i have stated before, north's only viable option is to move to vegas. this is his last stand in chicago. his act doesn't play here anymore. his fan base is next to nothing, his sports credibility is zero (especially after the pleasegivemeyourmoneyformylosingsportsbettingpicks.com abortion), his long time ad partners are deserting him. The ironic thing is that he did this to himself. if he could have checked his ego, the score would have kept him and he would be making 300-500k/yr for a mail it in job. but he needed the respect and power and the big $$$. he will soon have none of those three. maybe he is still fooling us and has 3-4 million in the bank and doesn't need the money and is just doing things to try and stay in the limelight. when history looks back at one mike north, it will see a man who rose to the top of his profession only to then spit on everyone underneath him until he fell back to earth and lost the las ounce of dignity.

North turned down the score offer because it wasn’t a guaranteed contract, that meant he would actually have to put a effort in, that’s why he turned it down and the score in turn then said, bye.

I also saw a drop off in taking calls, so its either of two things, he isnt wanting to do it or no one is watching, well after today, I suspect that no one is watching. He also took a shot at comcast earlier in the week whining about them not replaying the show later in the day, someone at comcast is smart enough to know that once a day is enough.

Well the major complaint is that is it way too ND High School-ee....especially that last hour since it is "sponsored" by them.

Oh yea, its over the top, not even in the last hour, they are mentioned througout the show way to much.

RV did you see when JHood was on Wednesday? It's been the only funny and entertaining part of the show.

Yea and it was always good when hood was on with him on the webio, I dont know why Mike doesnt put hood on more, but thats just pappy i guess, doesnt see what works. Hood and Jigs would be good, Hood alone would be better then whats on now because hood works hard at what he does.

I broke my embargo on the show this morning -- what a mistake.
I watched for about three minutes and picked up a discussion about the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Did they actually have a discussion about why assistant coaches aren't in the hall? Dick Lebeau's name was brought up -- also Buddy Ryan.
If this is true -- what are these guys smokin'????
There are several assistant coaches who are in the Hall -- they just received understandably more recognition as players or HEAD coaches!! Lombardi, Landry, Ditka, Mean Joe Greene.
This is one time where I wouldn't mind if I misconstrued the comments.

What would he do in Vegas? His real estate holdings have been a huge loser. He proved he can't be a handicapper. His radio career is down the tubes. His TV career is on life support. I'm not sure Vegas needs a hotdog stand, but who knows?

SID,

he would park cars at the tropicana, old school joint all the way. with his connections, i think he could get this gig

Do you guys realize that Mike averaged more than a million dollars a year in salary for the past decade? He works because he wants to work.

All the money in the world doesn't make you important or good. He is neither.

If I could make big bucks and put in the lame effort that pappy does, i would work till they stopped paying me also.

That is 100% not true.
