The thing about Mac is- and this is coming from a guy that's taken some shots at McNeil on the board in the past- when he writes stuff it's generally thoughtful or, at the very least, properly punctuated. Some of the stuff on North's site, especially the "blog" items, read like spam poetry.

Had USC yesterday. Lost a couple games by a couple points. We're rolling today with 400 Unit play in the Washington/New Orleans game. Also, Bears/Carolina over/under play. Good luck to all.
The permanent items read better, at least from a grammar standpoint, but I'm going to assume that North is responsible for most of the daily stuff and that there was help with the more permanent items. Dan McNeil doesn't need help to write complete sentences.
At this point North has degenerated to nothing but a tout, and that's sad in and of itself. Even worse, I don't think he gets it. He thinks that he can do things like pick different teams in the same game and people will find it harmless or, even better, amusing (at least most touts would go through the trouble of disguising their aliases, instead of advertising them.) I get why a tout website would have various experts providing picks; when one of the members goes on a streak, you can point to that as a selling point. None have ever been so stupid as to make it as clear as North has.
