What's wrong with some of you people? It's SPORTS TALK RADIO, not religion.

I think it would be easier to get Mike North to admit he's wrong than to get a religion to admit they were wrong on anything.

I see Teelanders point, Mike guarnteed that the MNMS was going to be huge, great and for that to happen, he had to have total control and hand pick his staff. 2 of the "key pieces" he picked are gone and now he is left with a cocktail waitress as his producer and Rock, who is a good sound guy, but its not like he has any control over the show. He has lost book after book to Mike and Mike, but all Mike can do is make excuses how Management isnt promoting his show, the rating system is flawed and Paul Agase is out to get him, but for sure, its never his fault.

His bits suck and he has totally removed any listener interaction from his show and it hurts it, no matter what he says. Mike is the perfect example of what happens when someone gets a littel power and Money, he lost touch with what made him good because he thinks now, he is reinventing radio, which he isnt, he is actually setting WSCR back ten years by allowing a sub par program to continue its death spiral because his ego wont allow him to address the show and changes.

Mike has quit tryin to make his show better, he is just collecting a check and when the time comes for a contract, he is going to cry how he isnt getting any respect and how if Managment would have worked with him, the MNMS could have worked, but what he is forgetting is they did work with him and he dropped the ball time after time after time and now its time for him to face the music and that will not be pretty.

Just my opinion.

Summed up pretty nicely. I can't disagree.

Mike has elevated himself to just another show on the Score. At least this time he tries to do somethings, as terrible as they are, it is still better than when he was solo in the middays.

he thinks the audience is his and he gives very little cerdence to the origin of his audience being sports radio fans and not Mike North fans as he thinks.

Offer Mike his $500K and if he wants to walk, let him.

Think before you speak

You miss the real point. Mike thought that he would compete for morning radio dominance with WGN when he hired Annie and they were going to offer "so much more than sports". Well, not only did Mike and Mike kick his ass, but he came in about 23rd in the market. Never made the top ten, never came close to even sniffing WGN, WLS, WBBM like he thought he would. He is a niche market guy, not a dominant radio personality.

Agreed, but when does Mr. Tell it like it is going to take the heat for his failures? That is my issue with him, he made this mess, now he is doing his best to distance himself from any blame and hanging others out to dry for it, that is being a complete jagoff in my opinion. North hasnt taken one ounce of blame for this mess, that is just being a weasle.

Anyone remember him on CLTV SportsPage prior to taking this morning gig? He said something like, his career is on the line, and if this fails, there goes his career. Did anyone ever buy into that anyways?

He just said, and I quote,"Believe me, when I am wrong, I will let you know."

We're waiting.

And then she says," shut up you fat, talentless load, you are getting a paycheck."

I for one will always be a Mike North Fan. He saved the Bulls and that insufferable Jerry Reinsdorf from making a colossal mistake and letting Skiles go away. Skiles didn't realize that when Riensdorf says negotiate a contract he actually means I will make you an offer and you can negotiate with yourself how you will tell me yes or no. Mike told Skiles, please call Reinsdorf and tell him you are sorry and you accept the contract or the Bulls will be lost for many more years.
You are right however about the good old days of Ebony and Ivory. Uncle Fuzzy. Jay Hood. The Heavy Fuel Crew. The stuck up morning guy. 60 minutes with Murph. Before the moron Berstein. It was some great Chicago radio with all the corns and warts and I loved it.

This type of comment makes me really take your statements about Bernstein with a Silo full of salt.
Mike North "saved" the Bulls?
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you like the official Mike North Handjob Bitch or something? People say negative shit about North cuz North is a fucking moron and deuschbag and deserves the critiicism, and this guy tried to claim that North, who has demonstrated his stunning lack of NBA knowledge many times, saved Bulls basketball. That type of absurd statement deserves the response it got

No, Sport, I didnt, but i dont need to. The idea that a meatball like North convinced Skiles to resign, and that he alone is the sole reason, is so idiotic that it pretty much speaks for itself. Teelander saying Pax most likely would have taken care of business, imo, is an accurate reflection of the situation, and i am very familiar with the situation as i am a huge NBA fan so unless you are trying to back up zzbobs statement, im not sure what your point in this particular thread is

I think Mike's interview with Skiles was great. It's probably impossible to know if he got through to Skiles, and maybe Paxson was just pushing this as far as he could go without losing him, but that intereview was a classic.

You'd have to be either A) deaf or B) North Hater to not think that was a great interview.

I will concede that, its a quality North shares with Patrick, and that is there undeniable ability to do great interviews.

Unfortunately I believe that is pretty much their only positive attribute

I would never say that North's interview was the "sole reason" behind Skiles decision to stick with the Bulls - but even John Paxson has gone on record as stating it was clearly a factor in his re-thinking the situation.

I am new to this forum......have been listening tothe Score from the beginning..............they (the score) have sold out us the listeners a long time ago to their precious sponsors.
Every other fucking minute is sponserd it is ridiculious.

How silly of them to try to make money in their business, Slobodan.

You can make money without becoming "cheesy" and read live commercials in the middle of doing a interview.........that would be "brain dead radio" for the brain dead.
I love money............honey.

Um, they do that on every station everywhere and have probably been doing it since Guillermo Marconi invented the radio. Where have you been?

Maybe they don't have radio in Serbia.

Here's an interesting fact about Serbia: Serbia grows about one-third of the world's raspberries and is the leading frozen fruit exporter

You're right. I forgot about that.
