Check out today's Sun-Times Bill Zwecker column. I'm too lazy to link to it. Congrats, Sox.

If he gets hired in any capacity, I'm done.

Maybe he will be in the Southpaw costume?

After 30 years, Reinsdorf has never showed any understanding of what is left of his fanbase.

North fucking sucks and there is NO WAY the Sox should do anything with or for him. Just terrible if they do.

"Sound familiar?


SPORTS SHORT: Hmmm. Mike North has been hanging out at U.S. Cellular Field lately — and I’m hearing it’s about a lot more than just watching the last few games of the White Sox’s 2011 season. Sources say the veteran broadcaster has the ear of Jerry Reinsdorf, and North was seen huddling behind closed doors with other Sox honchos Friday, reportedly about more than just a radio gig."

I have been saying it since Day 1. For the amazing business accumen he has, he lacks total vision when it comes to fans. He relies so much on surveys and his ass kissing staff to give him info. On top of everything, very little happens that he did not approve. From play by play guys to promo night, to the music played and the actual volume of the music!

North and Farmio, has on air fighting potential.

North should be the GM

Jerry is actually thinking North will help attendance.

Do the Sox have the roving hot chick on the Diamondvision between innings talking to fans? etc. They have it in many parks.

Why do I feel North is begging for that type of gig?

That's what I was thinking. Could you imagine that train wreck?? Then again, I might just show up at the cell and try and get him to put me on, and when he does...go off on how much of a loser I think he is. Don't fade me webio boy!!!! Be fun to see a big public backlash. Fun for me anyway.

As Bob said, the only acceptable employment for North with the Sox is as Ribbie or Rhubarb reincarnated.

Exactly WHAT is the Target audience North brings in?
I have posted before that in his first few years on WSCR, North brought back memories of the goof with the baggie blue or baggy gray pants with the white T-Shirt with the Marlboros or Winstons rolled up in the sleeve who hung out at Hiawatha Park in the early 60s.
He was on air Fonzie.
Well, I can't imagine that crowd re-living the good old days at The Cell.

Maybe North is selling Reinsdorf on the idea of hiring North as a lobbyist to get the State Legislature to approve slot machines for The Cell????? North is such an expert on gaming and odds and all!!!!! :lol: :roll:

I guess they needed someone to fill Rangeys shoes and Members Olney jacket now that he's taking his talents and Don Johnson beard to South Beach.

Where does that buffoon fit in if he joins the White Sox? Would he bring the "Bookie Priest" and that mutt Licorice with him?

I like this one. Pappy is starting to get a little pissed that Dahl and Crains are pissing all over his internet sponsorship model.

Then, the video cuts off the sponsor plug at the end.

SUCH A DUMB FUCK HE IS. First off, he has to keep reading because he doesn't really know who is even playing...then he says Texas will hammer Tampa Bay, but then he says so we have New York playing the Rays...What the fuck happened to Texas??? Well, just wait....he then goes on to have Texas in the World Series losing to the Brewers. Don't Fade Me Mikey boy you stupid stupid stupid stupid MF'r. :evil: :lol:

The Sox should hire him before he gets scooped up!

North has been pitching Reinsdorf for like 10 years now. lol

Jerry might just give in so he leaves him alone.

Web only broadcast of the game?

The sad thing is that would be the most listenable broadcast.

Priceless. During his 1:05 rant he mentions all of his sponsors EXCEPT the one paying for this clip. No love for Tony's Deli, and then clipped em at the end. Wha Happun? Tony's check bounce?
