Seems like a great fit for the guy? Wert and DeCastro to make sure he doesnt try and take over everything. |

If DeCastro can score ( well lets face it , if he accepts North's begging to hire him) and Mac, that may be enough to topple the apple cart in their favor. |

The single biggest reason the Score burst onto the scene was North. Todays conversation was a great example of a show that would have buried the Score. "How cool was MJ" Also, not only North but Jessie, these guys were hungry. They would have done anything to make that station work. North would also do anything to whoop ass on the Score and Wert and Decastro are smart enough to control North. North and Brandmeier......??? |

I don't think controlling North is a good thing. You need him to say a few unconventional things. |

He is completely damaged goods as long as he thinks and acts like he is an A-list talent. Unless he somehow takes his ego down about 20 notches it would never work. |

You have all agreed with me.....North taken down....is good radio listen... And a brutally honest conversation with him, would kick his egotistical ass... "Mike, we want you on the air here, but we arent interested in giving you your own show. When we say that, we mean now or never. We feel that you had a great thing going while Jiggets played the straight man and you would jump in. Once you took control of the segments, production, interviews, etc, we feel thats when things went south for you. here is a 3 year deal for $175K a year. In the agreement it clearly states you can't contact advertisers or sponsors on behalf of the station. That's not your job. If you incur an FCC fine, you will pay it. If you are suspended, your contract will be terminated and no payments will be due to you. Do we have a deal?" "YUP" |

As Harry Carey once said...."It's impossible to chane." |

So.....this was a good thing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOaQ5gb6KDs Wow, one thing I never noticed is that the future Mr. Urchack is in this video.

In fact if I never hear that show I don't become a fan of sports radio and you all would not have been blessed with my presence for the past 9 years. |

So..is one of those guys at the pool table Dan Levy, who just recently wed Jill Urchack? |
