I think this is funny as well, but don't listen as often. Who said it? Just some random caller? To the BB show? What was she asking?

I have no doubt there's tension between B&B and North. Hell, at this point there's probably tension between North and EVERYONE at the Score. That includes his own hand picked staff. This guy's ego, coupled with his seeming obsession to be the center of attention has certainly wore thin with people. I know it has with me, and I don't even know him. I couldn't imagine working with him.

I noticed that Mike took a strong and completely opposite stance to that of B&B concerning both the Bear/FBI thing, as well as the Orton vs Grossman stuff.


That's pretty consistent with their personalities. North would say "let boys be boys". Bernsie would take the legal side and say "if it happened on FBI property, there needs to be an investigation".

Quote:
There are also just little things like Mike talking about B&B not inviting him onto their show.


I applaud them for that. North has gotten too much shameless promotion as it is. If I were B or B, I would be opposed to inviting him on for that shitty CD as well.

I think they would beat that to death with or without a feud.

Quote:
But one thing I know, if there is any truth to any of that specualtion, then I will say that those 3 imploding, would be the LAST thing the station needs.


The LAST thing the station needs aspect is debatable. I'd argue for no more Jesse, no more insignificant play-by-play broadcasts, etc. Time will tell. Besides, even if there is a feud, if played correctly it would draw some attention, which the morning show desperately needs and B&B could always use a little boost now that they're up against MJH.

I found something interesting and funny today during B&B. At the end of an update, the update guy was doing the obligatory "North talks sports" promo, when someone dropped in the gunshot sound effect. I thought it summed up the situation quite nicely.

Unsure if I said it, or read it here, (hey I am exhausted worked 4 hours today) but the number of commercials, reads, references of "Listen to Mike North" on other shows versus pretty much none that I remember on North's show was going to become an issue

Hell, there's tension between EVERYONE and EVERYONE at the Score! Honestly, a few feuds here and there can make for great radio, but at some point, you wonder why a bunch of guys who, at the end of the day, are just a bunch of guys who get paid to sit around and talk about sports all day, can be so damn bitter, towards themselves and seemingly towards life itself.

Lighten up guys! Chill out, amongst yourselves and with your callers, and just talk some sports!

By telling us he thinks B&B do not get along with North? That is about as interesting as a Dan Bernstein wine testimonial, or a Terry Boers anicdote about the Bulls back in the day.

KS You are right ON.
I am a huge B&B fan and I think North is under their skin. Next time they are at a remote someone should ask. And if the Score was smart they should let the two shows go at it. There is nothing going on between Noon and Two anyways! : )

I hate to say it, but I agree there too. It's their show, if they'd like to extend an invitation that's one thing, and I didn't think Mike should've "put them on the spot" like he did over it.

I really don't necessarily get the whole CD thing. It's fine for what it should've been, just a "cute" little CD that Mike could've sold on NorthtoNorth, but it's incredibly odd how much plug it gets.

I also think Mike is a little bit crazy to think that Mancow and Johnny B and whoever else he mentioned would actually have him on their shows to plug his CD. That's just not really comprehensible to me. (Sorry Mike, but I just don't understand it)
Maybe if it was all music, that might be one thing, but it's mostly interviews, which I can only imagine all happened at WSCR. So why would a competitor ...........*shakes head in utter disbelief*

But it was cool of Mike to bring those guys up, and say he didn't have problems with any of them, and to go on to say that he doesn't get into that whole bashing the competition stuff. He was generally complimentary. (of course maybe it was still just to get on their shows)

On the other hand, if the B&B thing was a plant - a start of some ratings snatching "fued" between North and B&B - then it could actually be brilliant.
But I'm not leaning that way


First of all, we know which way you "lean."

These guys haven't gotten along for years. Hello in the hall, knife in your back when you turn around. Both sides have been that way. Nothing new there.

The amount of time allocated to North promotion of one kind or another on the daily Score is unbelievable. While listening much less, it seems that whenever flipping over the name is being mentioned. I understand the desperation to try to increase ratings, but doesn't management realize by this time that it ain't going to happen? Everyone is absolutely justified in making fun of this ridiculous situation. Hopefully, it will continue in a less subtle fashion.

So glad that someone is in control.
