Well Dan Patrick is leaving and I wonder if North would like a spot in the afternoon with ESPN? I doubt it, but stranger things have occured.

Hey you might be on to something there.....since North thinks he's so national, if he has the ESPN endorsement he might view this as his opportunity to move in, and eventually move up in the company....

I don't think either party would have much interest in the other. From the Teddy G. column of June 29.

Though ESPN-owned stations such as WMVP bemoan personal attacks, WSCR-AM hosts are permitted to use salty language and fire off insults.

As if to prove that, WSCR's Mike North on Thursday jumped on Kimberly Bell, who's shopping a book about her supposed eight-year extramarital affair with Barry Bonds. North, during his morning show, said Bell was "being a bitch about it."

Did North purposely say that to support McNeil and/or to flaunt the Score's lenient policies?

"I might have done it subconsciously," North said. "I tell you, to be suspended for saying that word is a scary thing. It's in the dictionary. They'll say it at the Westminster Dog Show."

Yeah, but ...

"They're very highbrow over there," North said of WMVP. "I wouldn't last two days there. I look at it as: We're the playground. We push it as far as we can. You want to go to church, listen to them."

Mass for shut-ins with Mike Greenberg...

I'm guessing that North would have a different tune if the Score didn't want him or wouldn't pay him what he considered to be fair. They are his only other option - we know the politics deal doesn't work.

He said they wouldn't pay Annie what he and she thought she deserved, the same amount as she was making, so she decided to leave. HAHAHA!!
They were going to cut her pay, wait until Mikey faces the same thing in a few months. This was all said this morning and he said that would be the last time he talks about it.

Yep, until the end of September. Paying her to stay OFF the air is one of the best decisions they have made.

I would strongly agree with this.

I heard the same thing, but I have a hard time believing that he went to bat for her. I'm not saying he undercut her or anything, but unless he's completely braindead, he had to know this wasn't a good fit, and that she was not some hidden talent. Maybe he helped make sure she would still get paid through September, but trying to keep her on the show is suicide.

The answer seems obvious once you see it in print doesn't it?

That's funny. Where the hell is Annie even going to make that pay cut total?

mikey two times would suck stu scott's alabama king snake to take over patrick's time slot after the score gets rid off him. "Duh, the eastern seabord, umm, i mean espn is a great place to work, right bee ? "

pappy is the guy who'll say he meant the eastern see(m)bored of Lake Michigan.

There is only one size red hot radio comes in from Grand Rapids...

HUGE

Possible. I thought of that over the weekend, and imagined that North can take the ESPN slot, Patrick can take the Inmus slot, and Mully/Hanley can take the drive-in slot. Why else would they have been doing the early AM slot last week? Lotsa tryouts, right before our eyes...
