Post subject:  North

Over the past few weeks I have run into some older gentlemen that knew North from the radio show he had and some from growing up. Old guys who now do some part time electrical work on the side, who a few even said they bowled with a Don North and they knew Mike.

All of them said the same thing to me. What a shithead he turned into. This was from 'his guys'

'I used to listen to him, but then everything was about how cool he was" or "He believed his own bullshit" none of this from me egging them on. And none of these guys have ever seen this website.

1. Old man drinking bar by my office that only old time drinking guys go to
2. Electrical guys working for me
3. Guy who owns a building on the N side I am working for
4. Garage where they are fixing my car.

Even with all this I think the slight chance that Mike has a rebirth as a radio guy exists. Just maybe one day he admits how nice it was to not write checks, but to recieve them, let someone else worry about the guests, the advertisers and who is the cohost. Not until he relinquishes his authority will it happen.

Yeah, and if I flap my arms just hard enough and catch just the right wind currents, I guess a slight chance exists that I will fly to the moon under my own power, too.

I agree! He got the break of a lifetime and made more money then he ever dreamed.
He needs to go back to his roots. (Not selling dogs) He should swallow his pride and go crash the gates at ESPN. They might give him his own show which he should not run.

Not going to happen. Jackie Gleason ran his own show, and ergo, so does Mike. There's no going back!!

Never, ever going to happen. He'll be selling hotdogs or moving to Vegas to be a shill for someone. He's over, never to be important again. He's a laughingstock in the city, he's "dead man walking" in Chicago radio.

You'd like to think so - but look at the list of failures that populate management - Drew Hayes, Ron Gleason, Paul Agase, the Hollanders - all have failed and yet continue to keep jobs - or get new ones. Thats only the sports list - how did the new guys at GN ever get here?

They hire there friends - and North has become one of them. All of his anti anti-management crap was just an act - he wanted to be in the in crowd -

I bumped into Mike at a wake during the winter. He was very cordial. I always liked him and feel bad he has made some terrible business decisions. He tried to get things up & running with WEBIO. He tried to help some friends but reading some of the HATE filled posts on here and you would think he's plotting to overthrow the government. I know
he has made one bad career move after another. I wonder if he has any true friends or just a bunch of "yes" guys. Either that or the North Camp is WAAAYYY out of touch with what will work nowadays. It's not DONTFADEME or the WEBIO business model,that's for sure!

Why don't you fight yourself? i seem to recall you being nothing more than a Guillermo mota about all the conflickts yuou've been in. Throw your glove and run spmack.

As long as some fool semi employs North, I'll be here to trash the talentless has-been. I'm waiting for him to be fucking homeless and move out of the city forever. Have a nice day. :)

Mitch Rosen must of really loved him. Same with Anne Maxfield. How about Doug Buffone? I'm sure Doug and O'Bie (dammit) love him so much they've been looking to break just one of his legs.....

J Hood certainly doesn't love the guy; he didn't wait around for Northy to get Webio III back up and running.

Wildfire loved him so much they didn't keep Webio I going.

I'm sure the Asian community in Chicago loves him.

I'm sure Antonio Mora and sombrero manufacturers love him.

Mike Murphy must really love him; as he didn't get a chance to go throw his career away on Webio II.

Ozzie Guillen must really love that guy; because the only way to show love is to swear your head off at them!

How about Dominique Wilkins; who when asked by Northy "What is happening with the Atlanta Hawks? Which moron is in charge down there?" pointed out that he was Vice President in charge of personnel.

Do you know how much Mike gave back to his community? To his people? The amount of cash and job security his people have enjoyed over the years?

Frontman.... Mitch loved him enough to offer him a million to stay. Mike knew he'd make more on his own so he politly turned it down... Wildfire fufilled their obligation with Mike. They'll be a sponsor soon (Whoops! LOL). .



You are one funny, misguided fella.
How's that job security working out for Chet, Jesse, Matt, George, and the rest of the webio crew?


North is making more than what the score offered? LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy.............

Please answer this if Mike is a good "cordial" guy.

WHY would any guy lie about his charity involvement? What "good person" would try to make tthemselves look good by exagerating their charity work?

I imagine none of his true friends (the guys he hangs out with in EP) are allowed into the inner workings of his business ventures and he selects people for the latter based on their ability to be "yes" people in fact while conveying objectivity and brandishing courage to pull his reins back in appearance.

They are out of touch.

Sometimes people experience a reality check & it humbles them.
It remains to be seen if this happens to North. But I have know people who thought their shit didn't stink, hit rock bottom, & made a comeback with a different attitude.
North certainly isn't at rock bottm, with a 3 hour daily TV show.
People do what they do. Mike North is a radio / TV personality. It's what he will do until he retires.
Mac hit the nail on the head about North in his post this morning.

1. And old fuck in a bar who's brain has been pickled by boose to say that he don't like him.
2. Some dumbshit electican who by the way are nice but dumb guys who will say he don't like him
3. A guy who owns a building (Whoop deee doo) who will say he don't like him
4. Some dumbass high school dropout turned UTI grad who changes your pads for you to say he don't like him.

Your a boob if you believe what this knuckleheads say. They knew North sure thay did. You show me 100 people that KNOW North, I mean KNOW him and they love the fuck out of him. They do. NO doubt about it. So suck it.

What the fuck are you talking about, you racist prick? Im a Korean-American and this is really offensive. I would rather be "slanty"-eyed than a dumbass who writes like he failed third grade. I didnt learn English until I was 10 yrs old and Id be ashamed to write like you if I were a native speaker.


Don't let the bastard get to you. BP is a fucking moron who thinks that shits funny; but its more of a funny in the sense of "poor dumb bastard will never get laid" versus "that's pretty funny stuff. He should be writing for the Office."

No, he's just a piece of human garbage just like north. Neither personality is bright, both are now failures and both are bigots. They both are now cartoon characters, one imaginary and unfortunately one is a real person.

I think it's gone too far. Sure North is a tool, but I think its gone to beating a dead horse now. If you have some personal issue with him that he hurt you or took your money or something like that, I can see why you'd be going after him. But now, for say me, who just knows him as a media personality, I think it's gotten too personal now on the board. Just my 2 cents.

The best advice a father can give a son in this town is that there is always going to be someone smarter than you and always someone tougher than you.

North never got that advice or he was too stupid to heed it.

This guy lives his life like a riverboat gambler....he was going to outhustle the world....

The Mike North of 20 years ago was probably a great guy...the softball player...the guy bullshitting you while you wolfed down a beef at BeBes......

This Media "mogul" is just a complete stroke.

Oh, no, North probably got it. He just figured he WAS the smartest one and the toughest one, no matter what. Guess what. He's not.
