Have you sons of bitches forgotten about her? Think about how hard the last 2 days have been on her. Poor girl. Let us not forget that actual people are involved when we make our funny jokes. Ok? Thankyou.

April Rose, this is for you.

Ok...so Hernandez starts bouncing checks, and Mike North starts asking Hernandez what The hell is going on...and North demands that Hernandez pay the hired help at CSW. Hernandez then fires North. How is it that North is at fault here? The FBI is investigating Next Step Financial services...Hernandez will end up rooming with Jeffrey Skilling...

I'm not making an accusation here, just for the record, but if the feds are pursuing the RICO route, you never can tell who will get swept into the net.

As of right now, Spaceshit's voice still greets you on chicagosportswebio.com.

Well, not to be a jagbag or anything but do you think guys like Chet, Hood, Weber, Fred, etc. came to CSWebio because David Hernandez was putting a crew together? They came because North and Jiggetts were anchoring a station. Lay blame where you will.

I was just thinking of those guys who North screwed over and now probably feel so lucky he screwed them over and they no longer associate with him. John Shaky Sumtris comes to mind. What's he up to now?

And that psuedo-fued North had with WSCR, where he vowed revenge, well I think you can say wscr won big time.

And if that whore has a brain as big as one of her nipples, she would demand all her pics taken off that site ASAP.

Apologies for the long post in advance, but a couple of thoughts on this strange situation.

1. With all apologies to Dr. Ken (who's posts I always find intelligent and informative), I have to disagree that a COO wouldn't know about the financial health of the company. I agree that in a large publically traded company, if a CFO wanted to mislead a CEO and a CEO they could. However in a venture like this I find that hard to believe. It appears that Hernandez was the main financial backer of this project but a safe assumption is that Pappy also has some capital in the venture also. This being the case, BeBe, as COO would have a much more vested interest to verify the claims of the CFO to assure that her capital was being protected. Smaller owner/operator establishments like this involve a much more closely related management environment that Enron or Morgan Stanley.

2. More to this point Spaceball as GM of sales had to understand the revenue streams comming into the station. BeBe as COO had to understand the costs paid to the talent and for expenses. These two individuals have had a longstanding personal and professional relationship so it isn't hard to imagine they were in constant communication about the health of CSW on a daily basis. This would lead me to think that they knew of the financial constraints of the operation or are just to stupid to understand common business income and outlay calculations.

3. Those who are trying to detatch North from Hernandez are unconvincing. I probably watch 10 mintues of MITM a day. No shit. Every day when I eat breakfast and get dressed I watch the show. (Say what you will about North but MITM gets great guests and I love catching Bob Verdi or Rocky Wirtz on an interview) Countless time he has said how Hernandez is "his guy" or something to that effect. Additionally one day when he had his beatoff segment on the show with the ladies in the morning (that day they had ladies of the webio) some of the girls were next step employees I believe. Mike said something to the effect of asking the ladies what David was involved in next because David is so innovative and always on the cutting edge of business and the kind of guy North likes being involved with.

Like it or not, and guilty of malfeascence of not, North is the face/front man for this operation. When you market a product as your own and hold yourself out as the face of a product and it goes belly up, you are associated with the disaster. This isn't an advertiser embarrassing a station (like when Mully and Hanley had that advertisement for the adultery site) this is a chosen BUSINESS PARTNER who at the best is a moron and at the worst is a criminal. Mike not have ontentionally committed any criminal/immoral acts but this stains his reputation, whatever that is.

4. As far as assigning blame, at this point with the information known it is impossible to know who is at fault. First of all we don't know what caused the CSW checks to bounce. To this point, if Next Step cut checks to CSW and the next step checks bounced causing the CSW checks to bounce, the it is more likely that Hernandez was and is the cause of the problem. But what if Next Step's checks were completley good and were deposited in the accounts of CSW but other ad revenue that was promised by someone (North, BeBe, Space?) didn't materalize and then the CSW checks bounced. Then BeBe and Space seem more at fault. Again this is all speculation at this point, but that is 99% of what is going on here now. The facts will play out as they are and then the true culprits will emerge.

5. Finally I hesitate to post this because it might appear that I am advocating for the position that Hernandez has less guilt but I do find it hard to believe that CSW consumed the majority of his management time. One would have to think that all of his money was made, or supposedly made off of his medical staffing operation. If this is the case he likley devoted the majority of his time to that already profitable venture, and did as many investors did. Diversified his ownership portfolio by investing in a new business where he has no expertise but partnering with someone (North/Spaceball) who concievably does. This arrangement usually operates where the expertise partner runs the day to day operations and the more heavily financially involved partner recieves by-weekly or monthly financial metrics.

Thanks to anyone who read this long boring post and sorry about the misspellings

I'm tryin to stay awake here at work. You fuckers are crackin me up. Thanks for the help. And man she's smokin!

Five seconds! All I need!

Well done friend. I think I get it. Based on your assessment, North might be the main culprit. North is the radio genius. Hernandez was just the cash cow. North was supposes to bring the ad revenue. North, Bebe and Spaceball probably promised Hernandez he'd get a big return on his front money. We all know that hasnt happened. He always bragged that he always made his bosses money. Well if that was true, he's no longer batting 1.000.

Again- Super post!

OK fail for me. Mr. Belvedere, I appreciate the compliment on the post but that isn't quite what I intended for the reader to garner from my post. I'll shoot again hopefully more succinctly.

1. North is the face of this operation, even if he is 100% innocent in this debacle he still looks like a pile of shit and probably is severly damaged in any media career in Chicago.

2. No facts about this operation and its financial problems have been exposed. Other than bounced checks nobody knows what happened, and some execs got fired. Situations like this generally take months if not longer to understand.

3. The management team of this venture, being that it was a smaller operation and the principals were so closely related makes it hard to believe that someone could be that much in the dark about the financials of the operation that they were taken by surprise when checks were drawn on accounts with insufficient funds.

4. Lets hear both sides of the story. North already has his side of the story out there saying "we know who the bad guy is" but it is easy to bury somone who has not decided to respond yet. There have been no quotes from Hernandez since this story broke. North has been quoted in 3 different publications and also has linked a blog post to his northtonorth website. Again not to shit on North but he appears to be someone in damage control mode who is trying to control how a story is presented in the media.

Get some sleep there "one Post". Stay on top of this. I'm sure most of us will look forward to your views as this unfolds.

According to Comcast's on-screen guide, Sportrise will be on from 5:00 AM to 10:00 AM tomorrow morning. Looks like MiTM is on the shelf for the time being.

Good catch, the website still shows Monsters from 6 to 9 but this was in Konkol's Sun-Times article today:

"North's show "Monsters in the Morning," with Dan Jiggetts and Jen Patterson, airs from 6 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday. A Comcast SportsNet spokesman said the show is still scheduled to air -- with North -- in its normal slot Monday. A special prime-time edition of the show is also scheduled for Monday night in advance of the White Sox-Cubs series.

The spokesman would not comment on whether the show will continue to be sponsored by NextStep Medical Staffing, which has paid for it until mid-July.

But Hernandez claims he was told by Comcast officials that North would be pulled from the program.

"Comcast knows we are in a partnership that's locked in legally until July 12," Hernandez said. "If Mike was no longer [on the show], the partnership will continue. If he is there, that will be a problem.""

I don't disagree with that, but didn't these guys make their own decisions ultimately? Also, it doesn't appear, at least from what Hernandez claims, that North was anything more than the face of this, no financial control?

Not boring at all. Well done. I'm also having trouble accepting that Mike was shocked and caught off guard suddenly when the checks bouncing, given his (and supposedly his wife's) role in this organization. More to follow, I suppose.

One sign that North may not be as dumb as many of us think:

From today's Sun-Times article by Mark Konkol:

"North, who writes a weekly sports column for the Sun-Times, said he hopes to get control of Chicago Sports Webio, which was his idea. But Hernandez said North "doesn't have a penny invested" in the company."

With his money and "not a penny invested"...give me a break. That would have been my second question of North if I was any of the guys who went to work there...."how much of your own money do you have in this thing?"

North answering "not a penny" would have been another of the many IQ tests posed by this venture.

No apology necessary as things may be exactly as you speculate. I freely admit that I have no knowledge of any of these details.

However, in my opinion, if we were to pretend for a moment that I was a CFO and I didn't want you to know something about our financial condition, you wouldn't know it. It would be made even easier to keep you in the dark if I was the primary and apparently only financial backer. It would be as simple as just giving you a sales goal and telling you that my pockets were deep enough to keep things together until we get rolling. You might be hitting or exceeding sales goals and thinking things are going great while I'm about to pull the rug (or money) out.

I would also say the fact that it is a small company makes it easier to hide these things than a place like Morgan Stanley. Old Magwitch was probably the sole caretaker of the checkbook and since Pappy had no financial stake, there was no obligation to provide any financial statements, audited or otherwise.

But, I could be completely wrong.

I'm not saying those guys have no need to investigate on their own. However, as an employee, there is only so much information that is available to them. I doubt they could walk in and say, "Show me your books before I sign". On some level you have to rely on North, who, as GM or VP or whatever he was, presumably has access to info about David Hernandez and the business. Obviously, in hindsight, he didn't have that or have enough but going into things these guys probably assumed that he did.

On that level, North let these people down by not doing the work that others lower on the ladder would not be able to.

I feel sorry for all ( well, most) involved.

However, the people that went over followed North.. he was the pied piper to all of them. You can hear the sales pitch now - it's the same sales pitch he gave to Comcast, to others that this would be great, we have the advertisers, we'll take them all on and show them, blah, blah, blah.

They bought Mike's line of bs, and are now paying for it. Why do you think he's writing checks to people - he knows he is the one that they followed, and is trying to make good on it. Good for him for stepping up, but the followers should have known better - Mike's 15 minutes were up long ago, and now everyone is knows it.

I feel bad for a lot of the guys as well. How could you not?
You can't blame the guys who did leave for taking more money and having the opportunity to be on everyday.
I mean if you're making $65k and someone offers you $85k, you're leaving. I don't care who you are...
