Just love this quote from North to end the article...

"As soon as you get a new job, it's always smart to start looking for the next one," said North, who has a one-year contract with Fox Sports Network.

North hosting a college football show? That's going to be a trainwreck.

"This is exactly what I wanted to do," said North.

Shouldn't that read, "This is exactly what I wanted to do--given that my million-dollar-a-year Score gig went down the crapper, no one bought my book or CD, my gambling website crashed and burned, my Webio funding guy is in prison for stealing old ladies' pensions, my two latest TV ventures were watched by fewer people than a test pattern, I can't move my primo lakefront real estate, and these Fox assholes wouldn't give me a better weekday slot."

That's like asking 9 girls to the dance, getting turned down by all of them, and then when the 10th choice--and an ugly one at that--accepts, announcing, "She's the one I wanted all along."

We're wise to your bullshit, North.

"North said his string of unsuccessful broadcast ventures in recent years, including a live talk show on Comcast SportsNet Chicago and a web-based radio operation, have taught him a useful lesson about a broadcasting industry that is less stable now than it was when he got his start in the business.

"As soon as you get a new job, it's always smart to start looking for the next one," said North, who has a one-year contract with Fox Sports Network."

Yea.......especially if you let your ego get in the way of accepting a mid 6 figure per year contract offer......and that every job you've had after the prime gig you've turned down has been a absolute train wreck.

What a dipshit.

Best and most accurate summary of the losers career lately. I don't think anyone, even John Kirk, can disagree. :) :D

Now North has time to be a guest on Spada's tin can and string "show".

No, he's too current. He'll be prime Spada material in about 15 years when Spada has Jim Hendry, Lovie Smith, and Vinny Del Negro on the show.

The best is when Chet Coppock announced North was the master of raising capital.
North can really attract the dollars.....Chet further kept drooling on himself and blathered that North knows what Chicago is thinking before Chicago does.

The above loosely translated from Coppockese from CHET'S BOOK, which I thought was pretty good for the most part.

Did David Hernandez go to the Federal Pen or get some sort of Psych probation?
If Hernandez is on the street, he would be perfect for Spada.

Hernandez could be North's first guest! That would be riveting radio.

While most of us don't like the guy, you have to give him props for the ability to keep working. He is getting paid by 2 employers, working from home & will be off 5 days a week! Where do I sign up? :shock:

how did the show go last night after the bear game? i missed it, totally spaced it out. next show is saturday, so long of a wait :cry:

Post subject:  Re: North's new PART TIME off hours Fox gig

He's big into giving his picks and then explaining his losses. On Saturday his pick was for Florida State to cover vs. Oklahoma.

Last night he was talking about the guests that would be appearing on the show. I hadn't heard of any of them. For one guy he said, "I'm not sure how to pronounce his name, but we'll ask him when he's on!"

Did he show his ankle bracelet? Maybe that's why Terry does the show from home. He's a federal prisoner.

Compared to Chet, he is great at launching ventures. Think of all the casino shows, etc., that North has done on SportsNet over the years.
