Of course he believes that, he's an idiot.

It won't take 3 months for North to say something on-air that will force him to apologize and/or resign.

If it's true, then I'd probably tune in to hear some of it...

ML: Over the winter there was a lot of discussion about the Sox broadcasting situation, the rehiring of Chris Singleton, the adding of Steve Stone to the mix and recently “Hawk” Harrelson getting a three year extension. I don’t want to get into the specifics of the broadcasters themselves but I’d like to explore the process of broadcast hiring.

I know you understand this and I do as well having been in the business for almost thirty years but there may be some readers who don’t know this so I’d like to explain why I’m asking certain questions.

In the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s broadcasters were hired by and large, by the radio or television stations they worked for, they were paid by them. There was some distance between themselves and the teams they covered. It was how Harry Caray, for example, could be objective and at times downright critical without fear of being fired. That distinction has been rubberized and completely blurred today. To start this area, I’d like to know how much say do you and the Sox have in broadcast hiring?

BB: “We have a significant amount of input. If we don’t want someone or if say WSCR radio doesn’t want someone, either party can veto the choice. It’s a collaborative process, both of us have a large say in the matter. For example, and I’m just using this name, not that he was ever a candidate, if WSCR radio came to us and said we want Mike North in the Sox broadcasting booth, we’d say no. Why would we want someone who is going to knock our product or be very critical of it?”

Of course he believes that, he's an idiot.

Do you think Jerry Reinsdorf is an idiot?

Give me a % rpb.

North is a PR move who will bring increased visibility to the White Sox radio games & most certainly will lead to an increase in listeners.

I might stay up til midnight to see if he makes the big announcement on NorthtoNorth at 12:01.

Maybe you guys hit on this in one of the 19 Mike North threads, but this is from another site:

Also, from Larz site...
While Mike North remains very good friends with Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and is a lifelong fan of the southside ball club,

The short sale on his land must have been left out?

This would be when you try to tell the bank that based on your current income you can't afford the payments?

This is something that is tough to get away with if you have $1,000,000 in other assets?

Unless of course the other assets are in the wifes name and you claim to have nothing, which also might work with a B of A, but you would think Mike North would have gone to a local bank for the loan? and that person knows him and knows he still has some money?

What do you think a fill in host on Sporting News makes? $60K?

Norths Fox deal is well into 6 figures. Remember, Jeff "Spaceball" Schwartz, who is a close personal frond of Norths, is an executive at Fox Sports Radio & responsible for hiring him.

You have no idea what he makes and your guessing on North has been consistently wrong.
