That was the great thing about North back then. He wasn't a suck ass like Zack & so many others. He was huge & could get away with more than most other media guys. Than Riley question is one of the finniest things I ever heard.


Not surprising.

There really was a change in the entire station from being the adversary of the teams to being their friend. Mock Murph, but he had it correct and it was the original posture of the station: never been in a press box, voice of the fan.

North worked his ass off in his younger days. He spent 18 hours a day at the Hot Dog stand, then bought his own air time on the weekends to talk sports. This guy is a high school dropout who at least made something of himself due to hard work & diligence. Many people just don't understand that the harder you work while young, the less work you have to do as you age. You build a legacy, & business opportunities, jobs, & business comes your way.


No doubt, but once he got the money he got lazy and failed at everything he has done, that's a fact. He thought the money earned him not to be questioned and when it came down to, he had no clue how to put out a creative and decent product. He might be rich, but his work ethic that got him that cash is long gone.

Don't even care that North is or was hard working, rich, good with his money, man of the people, looked up to by John Jirk, etc.

He's a shitty sports talk host, and that's reason enough to not want him to work in that field.

North used to be a great sports talk show host. Now, not so much. Each of us will lose our fast ball at some point.

So, in other words, you really don't know and are speculating from what you have read.[/quote][/quote]

Aren't we all speculating? :?
