LOL!! really funny stuff.

BTW, how do "steal" people who were let go?

How's that paycheck from Dave Hernandez? Do you worry it will bounce?

Sure he's doing a good job at picking guys off, he has that moron throwing around cash like crazy. That's the only reason any of those guys are going there. They can put "show host" on their resume instead of update guy or weekend fill in. They have a good paycheck for as long as that guy keeps it flowing and have a chance to up their profile instead of continuing to languish on the reputable stations. It's not like they really believe in North or his business model. It is a good career opportunity though for them long term and that's the only reason he's gotten so many guys.

I dont believe that seasoned veteran radio guys like Chet, Hood, Offman, etc...would all jump to Webio without seeing some kind of long term strategic business plan.

Say whatever you want about Mike North...but who would have thought that he would decimate the Score on air talent like he has? ...

Offman, Weber, Rogers, Doug & OB all left on there own.

a "long term strategic business plan" is useless in radio unless you have a good fortune teller. No one knows what's going to happen next week, let alone next year.

North didn't decimate the Score. All of those guys didn't matter and were replaceable. The Score replaced them all with a new batch of white ass holes making less money. Nobody has noticed a difference. The webio guys went there for less money than the Score was paying them cuz nobody else wanted them. It was the only place they could go. Hernandez said "C'mon guys. I'll lose money for your benefit." It's that simple.

All I hear from North & his ass-lickers is, "Mike North MADE the Score, Mike North was the FACE of the Score, Mike North WAS the Score . . . " So WTF does it matter that he picked up a few marginal players from the Score lineup for Webio? The rest of the Score didn't amount to shit anyway, according to the North ALS. If North is so great and such a one-man show, why does it matter whether a George Ofman or some doofus straight out of ICB is doing reports or updates? North is god, North is king, so let him be the face of Webio and who gives a fast flying fuck who is his "supporting cast?"

North used to do a lot of things, but now he is just Mr. Irrelevant. He's no longer a player in the sports world of Chicago. The number of people who hear or see him has become miniscule and those who do no longer take him seriously.

So what does Hernandez and North pay you to talk up the has been?

Say whatever you want about Mike North...but who would have thought that he would decimate the Score on air talent like he has? Offman, Rogers, Huebbner, Weber, Doug & OB...
North isn't a guy that you want working against you...and right now he is motivated.
He is schooling Mitch right now...

If I'm not mistaken, Fred Huebner was released from the Score, as was Buffone. And Ofman LOATHED working updates in the morning.

Say what you will, but in the end the listeners, advertising, programming, accessiblity and profit will dictate who has won or lost between WSCR and Webio. As it stands now ESPN1000 is the ratings winner.

JohnKirk, rather than creating yet another anti-Rosen thread, why don't you give us a detailed, show-by-show description of what the webio has to offer (other than MITM)? Since you might as well be on the webio payroll, and seem really invested in North's success, give me a reason to listen.

Either you like it or you dont. Turn it on and listen...if you like it or not, it doesnt matter to me. I know what I like & I like CSW better than the crap coming out of 670 right now.

My point: we all get it, OK? You think Rosen destroyed the Score b/c the station "got rid" of North and bunch of second stringers. Never mind that CBS offered North a lucrative deal - despite a recent track record of failure - that, had he signed, might have cost additional WSCR employees their jobs after the Wall Street collapse. North turned down more than he deserved, and almost overnight resorted to scamming people with his gambling site.

But none of that matters now. It's simple. We all want to listen to entertaining sports radio, right? Tell us concretely why the webio is a better alternative or quit your bitching. Just give us your opinion w/o talking about off-air issues.

You seem to listen to B&B more frequently than you let on. Why? Wouldn't you rather listen to Chet and the Champ? Tell us why that show is worthier of our time than B&B or the Afternoon Saloon.
