A few "simple" tweaks that can help turn the show around. Start by launchin anne, no one listens to the Score for news/traffic updates and there are much better options in the market for that type of info. Annie bogs the show down and causes the show to get off topic. Next, involve Rock more, Rock adds a much needed younger outlook. North is at his best when he is trying to argue against someone that has a different opinion than his. Make the rant and jag bag segments listener driven. All of the other shows use callers to drive the bits. Murph has tool of the week and B&B have Who you Crappin. This is an example of how the North show can reconnect with the listeners. Finally and most importantly, bring in an anagonist for north. He has been at his best when he has a strong partner. It can be argued that the day he left Jiggs was the day he started going downhill.

How about a four hour long test of the Civil Defense System buzzer.

oops sorry, I'm fighting off critters that want to go to nickjr.com. I have managed to distract them with food. Please pardon my mistake. I meant to say antagonist.

No more Annie, no more politics or talking to movie stars or crap that people don't come to 670 am to listen to. Also, no more jen jen the whore engine's voice on teh radio. If you want to hook her up to return a favor then whatever, but don't make everyone else suffer.


The show was actually good when they forced you to try this format out a few days, and then you lost a lot of people when you said 'screw what people like, i'm doing it this way'. And spin it anyway you want, you are underperforming when you can't beat those national other guys, as your ads put it. So yes, we'll have a post mike north era since you need to wack off to other woman instead of just using the internet.

You cant improve it because Mike wants to do it his way, any other way, North will walk and that be a marked improvment.

If the score wanted ratings, hire Mancow, I dont even like him, but he will bring in ratings and if North wants to stay, team him with Bernstein, Let boers team up with Mulligan and give Hanley his walking papers.

Mancow - 6-10

North and Bernstein- 10-2

Boers and Mulligan - 2-6

Its a pipe dream, but I would tune in for sure.

Mancow would turn Fred into a Celeb and I am not talking Aisle 7 at The Elmhurst Walgreens Celeb

Look what he did for a guy named Turd?

Mancow and Mulligan! With Fred doing News and Sports

Cow and Mully would be Awesome! Mully can keep us Sports focused while cow can, well be cow.

North and Mancow would never work. I have heard themk on for minutes together a few times and it was 'who could be louder show'

Plus I have heard Mancow call in as "Eric from his Car", so I am guessing he listens

Mancow is a low-life worse than North will ever be. He imitated Stern and could not compete at the same game. There is a reason why Mancow has not been picked up by another Chicago station.

His show was so ridicules... I remember hearing shows on Government conspiracies and black helicopters. He is a republican pro bush douche bag. Let him do his crappy appearances on Faux News...

or Ridiculous



Mancow makes up 1/2 of what he does on the radio, maybe with Sports as a topic he doesn't need to do that.

The guy played a role perfectly for years and he would need to change somewhat, but I actually think he could do it, with Mulligan handling the sports intense stuff.

he's a libertarian to be exact, but he was an admitted hypocrite who still was hell bent on judging everybody but himself, claiming to be a christian and then having strippers on and porn stars to demonstrate their "talents". at least howard's honest about himself and what he's about. of course some of that's gone out the window with his recent engagement. for shame, howard!

Murph??? Hes the best the score has, he needs 4 hours whether with a partner or not. Bernstein is the one that needs to go. He is brutal. Mancow will never come to the score, NEVER!!!

I don't understand why some of you would want Mancow on the Score. You'd be the same people ripping him for not talking sports, or not doing his homework, etc.

I actually liked Mancow's show - it was ridiculous, but it made me laugh, which most of these other morning shows can't do, and that's why I look for music nowadays, but I want to listen to sports talk, that's it. Hopefully, Mancow will find his way back to the FM side sometime.

The best would be one of them was out of the studio for the day, they would take each other to the cleaners on air when one was away for the day.

They should do a 'ask anne" segment, it has to be sports questions and only she can answer with no help from North or Fred. That I would tune in for.

I think it would be more fun if they expanded to more than just sports. How about math problems? Or the questions from the Wonderlic test. I think that would be great fun.

Ask Anne first call:

Caller - Anne, were do you think the Notre Dame QB will be drafted.

Anne- He wont be drafted, the Cubs signed him

Caller- Anne, they signed Jeff Samardzija, Brady Quinn is the QB. Samardzija was actually a wide receiver.

Anne - I knew that, (giggles) he will go in the 1st round, dont all Notre Dame Players go in the 1st round, I thought that was a rule.

Caller - Silence

Anne- By the way, how can the Cubs sign a wide receiver, there is no such thing in baseball.

Caller - Silence

Anne- Plus, if he played football, how can he go play baseball, those stupid Cubs dont even know who they are signing anymore.

Caller - Can I hang up now?

Anne - Go ahead, I am glad I could straighten that out for you.
