Just love to know which new SUCKERS fell for this latest effort.

I agree. The respective decision makers (at the businesses that keep on funding this idiot's ventures) should start being held accountable for pissing away their organization's funds. I'm specifically thinking of places like Rosemont and whatever high school keeps on cutting him checks -- whomever is cutting those checks to Mike should be strung up. Not only is it a waste of money, but the continued racial crap and betting advice is an embarassing way to spend your marketing dollars.

Looking back I guess this all should have been somewhat predictable, as the type of guy that would have that kind of meteoric rise is almost destined to tumble just has quickly.

Mike North is a clown, and you really have to be at your last straw to attach your reputation/career to this poisonous doofus.

Hey! Ya know what? Brad Stephens is MY GUY!!!!! He's turned Rosemont into one of da best places ta visit in dis whole world. Not fer nuttin' but he's a bedder mare den his ol' man. People come dere ta Rosemont radder den go ta Paris an jus' wait til dey git da casino. Fritzy says it's a done deal. Dis is brought to you by my frenz at American Matress. I like ta trow one ta Be on our American Mattress at home an my mob frenz use dem when dere "goin' to da mattresses". Dere versa-tile!

MNEN is different than getting money for webio or his other ideas. MNEN has absolutely zero cost. He just uses a camera and website he already owns and uploads videos from his home to youtube. So any dollar a sponsor gives him really goes directly to his pocket. I'm assuming his sponsors know this. So what leverage does he have with them? If he comes to them asking to shoot an ad and they say OK, I'll give you $50, what could he tell them back? Does he show him that one video that broke into double digits of viewers?

Exactly. It's like a web version of Duane Dow's Spotlight on Bowling.

I wonder if he would allow CSFMB to sponsor for $50. We could demand he have a member as a guest in the studio each week. Up first...RodeoVan.

I'd kick in $50 for the next week...if Scorehead & Seacrest are in studio with him then.

As much scorn as this may encourage, I have to admit that crappy local shows on at all hours is one of the few things I still occasionally miss from my pre-satellite days.

I've been in a studio with Mike before.

Merry Christmas to you. I hope you enjoy yourself.

Hmmmm, Duane Dow.... As a yoot in Indy, I recall a Duane Dow as a sports guy at one of the local affiliates. Covered high school sports, and, as I recall, was canned for covering them a little too closely... Know what I mean?

Congratulations?!?

And in the spirit in which your wishes were offered, back at you.
