"lack of entertainment" should be about 99%

Where is "North told to take a hike" rank?

North wasnt told to take a hike. He was offered $750K plus bonuses. He thought he was worth more.He hiked on his own,

When they gave him his new job description,it was like saying FU to the guy.

Didn't they want him as a roving reporter or something like that?

Highly doubting they wanted him as a walking reporter for $750K....lol

I didnt hear the 13 weeks of contract and you figure Pappy would have got into that part.

The story pappy told was he got his offer 1 morning and if he didnt accept that day they would remove him and they did. The part Mike doesnt mention is they had been talking for months. Zimmerman gave him a final bottom line, last offer. North's ego would never let him take it and the end of the Mike North era came.

he made his money on his terms and he left on his terms. Just like he wanted.

Yeah,It's been talked about on here for years. How does somebody ever walk from 750 g's?

I could have sworn he said he would be removed from mornings and be more of a contributer here and there,calling in,filling in,etc.

Doesn't matter. Still have not listened to his WDRV show. Yesterday was the 1st time I shut off a Bear game in the 3rd quarter. It's bad and going to get worse.

I think North could have been great as a roving guy

He should try to have a show on PBS like Wild Chicago.

Thought Ben Hollis was doing that again?

"I think you are at kedzie and Foster? am I right caller?" The Pat Benkowski show!

Wasn't part of the story that when the contract came in he assembled Jen Patterson and BeBe to consider the contract? I seem to remember some kind of ridiculous team giving him advice.

by the way, about 200K for 13 weeks of work would still have been a gift.

he was "offered" a 50% pay cut

That Webio venture worked out great for North.

You are 100% correct and as Seacrest said, if he culd have done it all again, he would still be there.

Zimmerman got sick of "negotiating" with him and his people. North didnt think they would ever let him walk....North misjudged his ability, talent and market like Kenny evaluating Brian Anderson!
