Yeah, wait until poor George finds out he 's not getting reimbursed for those travel expenses...hey he'll have to view it as an early vacation. But its a rotten time to have unreimbursed expenses on the old AmEx.

Beardown, at the time, George Ofman was where his former station wasn't. Except for the last game of the Western Conference Finals between the Blackhawks & Red Wings, 670 The SCORE did NOT send a reporter to Vancouver or Detroit to cover the Hawks' playoff run...


Big fucking deal.
Hockey has as much relivance in this town as Mike Nort

I dont feel bad for any of them.

Anything that has Mike Norts name attached to it is destined to fail, and thats something any of these fools needed to understand from the jump, its their own fault.


Goodwills hiring.

I'm sure he had to pay Reinsdorf, up front, for the billboard behind home plate. I mean, that's 5 or 6 bounced checks right there.

I thought North and Hernandez co-owned this thing. How would he not know what was going on and be fired? I don't know who Hernandez is...but why would he dump money into this for the last couple months to abandon it? Whatdid he get out of it? I never really understood the plan or vision here. That's what I'm not getting.

This is really sad. It's one thing to hope North fails and looks like an ass. It's a completely different thing when his failure impacts so many people.

Everyone stop and take a breath. Me too. One of those articles still has Norths show on the webio. IS it still gonna run come Monday? Will these guys work for free? And why would North get fired? He said he couldnt get a hold of Hernandez. Did he go in and raise hell? I guess my first question would be why he was fired. For money? Because David didnt like MIkes way of "asking" where the money is? The next few days should tell the tale!

Dude, this is a classic case of a business going busto. There will be no webio on Monday. It is over.

Absolutley. I mean, it wasn't one or two checks. One of those articles said it was 25-30 checks.

1. The few sponsors they do have are gonna pull out after hearing this.

2. Why would any of these guys show up to work if they don't have their pay checks?

I'd be shocked if webio is on the air Monday. Nah. It's over.

There's no money. Why would anyone show up Monday if they haven't been paid and won't ever be? If there is any money left, it's owed elsewhere. It's over.

And the fucked up thing is Nort is going to try his damnest to come out of this smelling like a shit covered rose.

Hes already started his spin machine, pointing the blame directly on Hernandez, and trying to come off as some leader in getting to the bottom of the problem shit.

Hernandez never had a chance, he was Norts sugar daddy and once the money ran out, Nort already had his plan ready to make this guy look stupid.

All those promotional interviews? Those are gonna bite Hernandez in the ass, Nort looks like the honest one, and thats the biggest joke out this whole mess.

This was the biggest fuck up in the history of chicago media, when are ppl gonna learn Mike Nort is career, and financial suicide?

Yeah amd there was an article this week where Hernandez said they were making a profit. I think that statement was an oversight. These articles were all sloppily written on a Friday night and remember Sherman, North's buddy broke the story. Its thick with spin but we all know the story...its over...no more webio...

I guess this means no guest appearances on North's upcoming dream job for David Hernandez hosting access cable show from his basement. Or is that where Jens gonna live now?

Wish I could, but I wouldn't know what to say anyway. Just checking out what you guys are saying. Hasn't exactly been my best day.

That's the really curious thing. Why did Hernandez launch a PR offensive this week if he's bouncing checks? He must not have expected North to do anything about it, and made the impulsive, self-defeating decision to fire Team North.

How many of your checks were bounced? Have you gotten paid at all in the last month?

Remember he promised a radio deal by today. Time ran out. He was pumping the story to land a radio gig and time ran out. Ouch. Tim, sorry for you. You are one of the innocent guys in this mess but you should have listened to the board early on. This was a certified disaster the day it was announced. I hope you banked a couple of checks. Good luck.

Dude, not cool. Guy just lost his job. What about the NextStep folks who will be fired when the webio's creditors start seizing assets?
