All of the Following Quotes (Bolded) are taken from one thread, which I guess became a hot topic since I have been not attending to the board the last 3 days or so. Of course I added my feedback.lol.

so you want North to stay up for the homer - which at the time nobody knew what the hell was going to happen in that game or how long it might go -
then you want him to get 3 hours sleep tops,
then he has to do his show for 4 hours.

Well not that I care what he does, it's his hsow, but it is a sports show, it is the World Series, He does get paid a ton of money and I have worked on 3-4 hours of sleep plenty of times.

Isn't it a little more professional that he was thinking about the show instead of staying up?

Stop Yourself! The Mike North show concerned about professionalism?

Actually North is there to put on a show, he's not there to cover the game. That would be Offman and Schusters job - to actually "cover" the game.
Do you have to watch something "live" to be able to comment on it, or to interview guests?

"Put on a show" As in "Pull the wool over eyes" type of show? Not asking for Mike to get interviews, but I would think you watch every inning of the World Series, as I heard via the Grapevine (Ed Farmer) that North said he saw it on SportsCenter the next morning.

Some of you are ridiculous, you're mad at him for not getting a ticket to the game, you're mad at him for not staying up to see the end of the game....and on and on.

I didn't see anyone "MAD" at him, just think he is a fake and he (and you) can't seem to handle being called out on it. Nobody is MAD.

What does Mike's personal habits have anything to do with things any of you should be concerned about?

Agree, but I bet they are disgusting

Can he not watch highlights on T.V., and talk to people about the portions that he missed?

OK great, thank you for admitting that anyone can do his job.

What would he see live - that couldn't be understood later by highlights or insight from others?

The pitches before the HR, If Houston had a chance to Score in the bottom of the inning, if Ozzie had someone else in batters circle, maybe not use Blum and on and on, but thanks for trying to talk sports Annie or Buch or whoever else is part of the Show that Talks sports just doens't know sports.

Oz - you're full of crap. The guy can't stay up 24 fricken hours a day - whether it's GAME 3 OF THE WORLD SERIES or not.
He has a show and a job to do.

You know you are going to watch the game, the game isn't going to start until 7:39 and if things go well end about 11:30 ish. These things you know, have a plan, take a nap during the day, it's not like he is lugging cement bags up a building!


Everybody operates differently. Just because YOU can't get the same feel from replays or others opinions and explanations of the events, doesn't mean that somebody else can't get the same "feel"

Mike is one of those guys who can read The Cliff Notes and get every subtle foreshadow in Tale of Two Cities.

I mean what the hell Oz, Blum hit a damn home run and the Sox won the game. It's not a whole lot more complicated than that.

Thanks for coming. Show's over at 6:15 AM. Shut down the transmitter. Hey Mr or Mrs. Guest (AKA Dope) . It's what your entire station is focused around, the discussion of the circumstances that surround the event.

Shane,

North and team were there to give the listener the entertainment aspect of the whole extravaganza. Live guests, spur of the moment situations, etc...

Spur of the moment like a HR in the 14th?


He was not there to cover the intricacies of the game. He can miss a few innings and be more than capable of discussing it.

And in the words of Gene Keady, "I got a million guys that say Coach I can shoot the three, but I ask them, can you make it?"

It's a fucking baseball game, not biochemistry.
I mean honestly you guys, I didn't see the fricken homer either - cause I have a morning job to perform - but I know full well what happened and when it happened.

You knew the HR happened while you are sleeping? In your Dreams? Amazing? Are you a Biochemist? the only one that seems mad here is YOU...look at the language, we have Kids here. (Good Dolphin is only 12) please refrain from the language.

The actual play by play stuff is Offman and Schuster though

Are they the new play by play for Radio next year?

were Boers and Bernsie at the games?

No, they stayed up and watched the HR and I listen to them all the time, I don't listen to MJH as you claim , even though I don't think they are bad, so there goes the "ALL SCORE BASHING " theory out the window

So if somebody has something pro-Score to say, then they work at the station?

No, only when they spend the day posting respones in favor of one of the worst shows the Score has ever created.

That can only mean that the 20 people who bash The Score all day long on here, obviously work at MVP. Right?

If you say so, I will be on the air at 10 PM tonight on ESPN 1000

How does the President of the United States possibly make decisions and react to things that happen when he's - God forbid - sleeping?????

Did you just compare Mike North to the President of the United States? lol

"Guest" postings, at least in my case, are for one reason and one reason only, I don't trust this site in the least.
From the site admin (no offense big man) on down, it's one big Score bash. And considering I'm not in that group, I'm not real crazy about my info being out there. I wouldn't put it past anybody on this site to hack me, just because I'm not part of the Score gang bang group.

Yes, my internet powers are above and beyond that of any mere mortal. Is there a Score Gang Bang Group? is that private?

Now of course you think I'm Mitch Rosen, and that's the reason that I don't want my info out there, but for some reason, I doubt he's very concerned about the 20 posters on here who have either been jilted by the Score, or who work for MVP.

Nope, I don't think you are Mitch and I don't think Mitch is concerned, but I am petty sure Mitch reads the board and gets some feedback. Don't think he gets jilted and I don't think everyone here BASHES the Score. They BASH the Mike North Show and for good reason. It's needs to be fixed.

I mean honestly you guys, give up the whole posting "to" hosts/management directly, you sound fricken ridiculous. I've seen Rock post here - so I'll give ya that one - but seriously, they're not reading, and they don't care.

Wrong, very Wrong, very very very Wrong

ah - there it is - the famous hooker lie about Mike. That didn't take long

Can I ask what the lie is? Didn't he get arrested for soliciting a Hooker on North ave in a Limo with Jessie?? Did he stop and ask for directions not knowing she was a hooker and then said "how much for a ____? Yes, I know he was not convicted, but as a long time Chicagoan, if you are on North ave and you are talking to a girl late at night that happens to be walking by the bridge area late at night, you got some good odds she is a HOOKER!

I and a number of others probably don't hate Mike personally. I think he should be on the Radio, but the structure of the show is just terrible and with all the money that was spent on the development of the show opens it up for more scrutiny. Most of my posts regarding The Mike North have a suggestion on how to make the show better, or even change the whole show, but yes, I think Annie doesn't fit at all. It is a huge problem too as the interaction between her(you?) and Mike is annoying and a mjaor reason I hardly listen anymore.

And while the Board is not the authority on everything, it's the only place where a listener can express an uncensored opinion without being on hold for an hour or cut off in mid sentence because a guy who rips on people all day, can't handle some critique by a listenr or ex listener.

In addition, if a corp executive didn't look at the board and see what some people are saying about their product they are a dope. That doesn't mean they jump as to what everyone here says, but they read it. It's called feedback and in the business world it is invaluable. You may not liek what people say, but if you use it to improve your product, you're a smart exec.[/i]

Yes, it was my post, one person asked why it says GUEST under my name, I started it, got a call and had to leave, came home and guess I was signed out, but finished the post.

But considering I didn't get home until 4 AM and Woke up at 6:30 Am i could have had the excuse not to. Ha

Well said Bigfan. Couldn't agree with you more.

That's almost as good as Ozzies beat down on North!

"Woof Woof"

BigFan,
I also noticed that our great "guest" NEVER answered the question as to why North went to Houston if he wasn't going to watch the games. For him to say he was tired, it seems to contradict North wanting to do Sox games and bragging he would NEVER be too tired. Did Jen go to Houston?
Methinks he had something else "to do". Obviously, he doesn't have to do much prep for the lousy show he puts on. His lying BS is sooo tiresome, it is little wonder the ratings are in the dumper. The only change that will improve the morning show is cancellation.

Also, until I see something about Mike and a hooker in print, as in - something you guys can find searching the net etc.....until then - it's a big fat fricken lie. Cause for as many times as you guys have made this claim - you have NEVER, not EVER posted proof. EVER

Challenge accepted. I'll be back.

Have you read the 3 or so pages devoted to Mac regarding this topic including the mea culpa from the man himself? That pokes holes in two of your statements: first that people only bash WSCR on here and second that no one involved in the industry reads the site.

that "Guest" gives all Guests a bad name. Ya think he's Norths driver?

Some can argue whether the dichhead (North) is entetaining. But dont, I mean DONT claim this man is a good guy. He is an elitest who thinks he's Joe Pesci of Chicago. He talks about himself WAAAAAAY to much. People that do that are arrogant a deserve a little "street justice". nD USUALLY have a very small PENIS!

I cant stand the tool! I found it amazing that the "headline" guy on the Score did NOT see the BIGGEST most IMPORTANT HOMERUN in CHICAGO SPORTS HISTORY.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

And yes there was a story about Mike North and A hooker. FACT!

Not sure if it was in a paper or Magazine. Maybe Chicago magazine Steadman?

Good luck !!!

I was done with Mr. Guest when he couldn't give a viable answer to why North's "Undeniably Chicago" show can't be Mike and Mike's national show, knowing that Chicago is a very parochial sports town.

Does anyone have a Lexis/Nexis account or some other service that enables you to find news articles going back as many as 20 years? News articles that old are not stored on media websites, but Lexis has them. Not sure when the NOrth thing happened (sometime in the 90s) but do recall it was in the papers when it did.

Can we just end this talk about personal lives. It was acknowldeged on the air by the participants. I would listen to someone who committed worse acts than this if he had an entertaining show.

Just curious, why should anyone have to prove anything to you? It's very nice that you have an opinion, but it really is nothing more that. If people think poorly of North so what? If people don't like the current state of the station, so what? You really seem to get bothered over everything said on this site. If bigfan wants to delete some of your posts, so what? Start your own site. You really spend way too much time here. You aren't going to convince many people to listen to some of the nonsense North puts out, he is very old news and in fact, quite often very dull.

Well, Mr. Guest
If you don't like the opinions expressed here, that's fine. but stupid statements like this one

"Well, why the heck would my posts get deleted when they contain no profanity or any other forbidden structure? Just because I happen to be a fan of the Score? Maybe if the website wasn't named score670.com for Gods sake - then maybe I would've never come here in the first fricken place. "

really are quite silly. You seem to want Bigfan to change to name of the site because you don't like the content. TFB.
The way I see it, you are more than welcome to post and he is more than welcome to delete the posts if he wants to, it's his site.

Credi... wha'?

Someone that sits here daily and posts under the name guest is talking about someone else's credibility?

Mr. Guest,

Maybe you should take a look at this

http://score670.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2150

if we are all so meaningless and full of crap, why do you keep reading this stuff and reacting to it?

I think Bigfan deletes all posts that are submitted by non-registered users.
Anyways, it is possible, perhaps around 6 months ago or a year ago, there was an article that someone posted on this message board, about North getting arrested for the hooker thing. Unless my memory is disorted, I thought someone posted the story or a link, and that was said. If I'm wrong about this, someone will certainly tell me so.

Getting back to your posts (referring to "Guest"), most people, if not all, who post here, just honestly don't like Mike North's morning show. And we bash the hell out of it, and rightfully so... there is nothing wrong with that.

And what is wrong with Bigfan owning the domain score670.com? If the Score wasn't smart enough to purchase it from the beginning, then I guess that's their bad, isn't it?

Coast - I am having a problem finding it because it happened "before the internet" so to speak; although I do remember it in a North cover story that the Reader newspaper did in the late 90's. I'll keep trying. Radio Matt

To the great guest;


"But please don't make me bring up the whole Mac thing. Since you guys seem to think it's so damn important that Mike stay up to watch a home run and never let him off the hook about it, then you either better shut up about Mike and the home run OR start bashing the hell out of Mac for missing the next day. "

No one needs to shut up tough guy. It all boils down to one very important point---Mac is likeable and North is not. It's that simple for most people, maybe not you though.

Guest, can you please explain "a little" to me? How do you measure this?

And if it does suck "a little" what changes should be made in your opinion?

More credible? Don't know. But with a moniker like that you can certainly make a case for being perceived as an honest man.

God are you ever full of yourself. More BS, just like your hero.

Your one-handed typing skills are impressive. Do you use your left or right hand to enhance the self-gratification?

And your point is?

Isn't that what radio is about? Putting on the air someone people like? Putting on an asshole and telling people that they have to like him is the score management style and it certainly isn't working, especially in the mornings.

Guest - if you read every single post on this site and look at the signature line you will read. "Your opinion is crap, if your name is Guest don't be surprised if I delete it for no reason even after you spent 20 minutes typing your response to a post you hated."

Is it so hard to create an identity? Then I won't delete your pro or con Mike North posts, just like everyone else. I don't delete posts just because I don't like them, I delete posts from GUESTS extreme bad taste (Racism, hate, etc), severe drunk stupidity and those that might become too personal about someone that didn't ask for it. Such as any hosts wives that might not appear on the air or become part of the show. Although I am sure Bebe is a nice lady, she is a very visible part of the Mike North Machine and thus is subject to criticism.

One more thing, regarding Mike and the Prostitution charges. I have heard him mention it on the air of exactly the way it has been described here and while he was acquited, not sure how you got picked up for something like that if you had no intentions of 'playing the game'?

"My point is, when it comes down to something like Mike not staying up to see the home run versus Mac not showing up to his job on the biggest sports day in Chicago history, you can't very well criticize one, without criticizing the other." Why not? Life is fair and I don't have to treat all radio people equally. TFB. North is a jerk.
