Why would he leave, if he has more listeners than Bernstein?

I'm boycotting all postgame shows as an homage to my guy Doug.

I'm only now realizing how much I miss Doug. He's been a part of my Bear viewing/listening for the better part of 40yrs. I watched him as a player and enjoyed him as an analyst.

It's hard for me to think about Bear football sans Doug Buffone.

On North's show, callers should try to slip in a "WEBIO", like those guys yell BABABOOEY at the golf course.

Pretty much my boat. The first year I remember was 1971 (the Chuck Hughes game being the oldest image I remember, but I'd probably been watching all season). Don't remember a Bears' football world without Buffone.

If North tries to channel Buffone after losses, it's going to come off horribly.

Zippy is right about this. I have listened since day 1 also and they always marketed themselves as the voice of the fan. They were going to be the alternative to what Coppock was doing. They were going to be caller intensive with far fewer guests. North was an endless self promoter and a by product of his non stop self promotion would be the promotion of the station. He was no doubt the star of the early yrs, though for my money the HFC was always the stations best show.

The HFC didn't really take shape during the early yrs because they were splitting time with Hanley. North was the man rightly or wrongly and he did help grow the station though I never cared much for his show.

In terms of being the voice of the man, the score always marketed itself as such.

North is on now! Danny Mac @ 3:50pm, JOHN MOON MULLIN AT 5.... and uhhhh DAN JIGGETS @ 5:30!

he needs a cohost to shoot off of (idk who he could get.... hrmmmm... do any ideas come to mind? i got none. i wish one would present itself out of nowhere. if only god could send me a sign)

he needs that cohost tho cuz like, after a few first thoughts and a rundown of the callers he took a call really quick.... but he's taken 2 quick calls addressed them and he'll rant onwards and forwards from that.

everyone calling has to lick his ass about how good it is to have him back (i guess nobody wants to burst their bubble that he's technically still got radio shows you can listen to if you have a decent cellphone data plan) and mike's using the callers to springboard into more and more rants, so that tells you the obvious.... GET HIM A FUCKING COHOST! he really needs that.

also PASS/SPREAD THE WORD! he says if you go to turn on the postgame and get the white sox game tell your buddies to listen to north! so comeon CSFMB you have your marching orders.... forget the morning show or hell even the 2000s existed and let's talk some motherfucking bears! just be sure to tell NORTH how good it is to have him back on the airwaves in chicago like he never did that show on WIND =P

Tuned in when Mac was, judging by the amount of wind buffeting I heard, calling from a wind tunnel. That was a real treat. Maybe next time he can step indoors for a few minutes.

Yea, that sounded like crap. Good to hear North and Mac though.

Earlier a guy called and dropped a "Whats happening Octavious"?

Waiting for Cheesehead Scott and Cleveland Mike!

I'm not a fan of his, but the little bit I did hear it sounded like he was having fun and enjoying himself which is more than I can say for most people on WSCR these days. I think he at least has that going for him.

He needs to tone down the continuous screaming. The shrill sound of screaming is even more annoying to have to listen to on FM stereo.

I was just going to post the same thing. He does need to settle down a little bit.

Unless I missed it, the Bookie Priest did not make an appearance today.

i thought it was purposefull

I enjoyed listening to his take. Of course it was filled with Pappy being misinformed but he returned to the style of charming idiot rather than right wing flamethrower. I'll listen again

1. "Bears dominated time of possession with 32 minutes"- I guess we have different definitions of dominating

2. "Bears held the ball for 32 minutes. The Packers had it for 27"- I particularly liked that one. The extra minute was god's time.

3. "Moon" Mullen will not be heard on this show for a long, long time"- Mullen blew off a call in to the show.

4. texters and callers obviously got a script as they said nearly identical things about loving Mike and "being on a good team" to start their statements

Still, it was fun.

It had an early days of the Score vibe

I listened to a little more yesterday. It may not be hard hitting but I think it is fun.

More classic Pappy:

Jiggs: I was at the Bears alumni dinner. I talked with Vinson Smith. Vinson is a great guy

Pappy: I remember Vincent very well.

Its fun as hell to hear North again. He seemed to calm down a little bit yesterday compared to week 1.

I would have paid $ to have been able to hear OB & North as the Bears post game show on The Score.
Dumbass Mitch missed a huge opportunity here.
