So today I am catching the last hal hour of the show and they have Harvey Wells on and go on the whole "dey should have just paids me's". Repeated how every station should have a million dollar talent, regardless of ratings and should just look back on the persons (him) history of success.......then not less then ten minutes later, Pappy is saying how he talked to Jerry Reinsdorf and they were discussing Jermaine Dye. JR thinks Dye should have taken a one year deal to prove himself. Pappy agrees saying, "he was awful in the 2nd half and sometimes you just have to take less money and prove yourself all over again".

Ok....let me see if I have this right, pappy doesnt have to be accountable for 5 years of bad radio and should have continued to make huge coin because he had success in the past, but because JD had one bad half, he has to prove himself over all over again and take a pay-cut....hmmmm....wow.

Perfect "Who ya Crappin'" catch.

I wonder if Pappy sees his morning show as the failure we do. E.g., the co-workers were stiffs (yeah, Fred and Annie were muzzled,) not a morning guy (nor a mid-day, nor an afternoon guy, unless you had Jiggs)

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

At this point, he's a cartoon character. Mr. North, meet Mr. Woo Woo.

One other thing I thinking, Savage isnt long for this show, very clear she finds North a idiot and doesn't really hold back. It was funny, she was off Monday and Pappy said she was on vacation, she came back Tuesday and said she was speaking at some event. Either way, her, carlson and the weather chick hate him....at the least, creeped out by him.

Dye has had 2 bad halves back to back, but thats a great catch, Van. You should email that in to B&B.

Edit: Bad 2nd halves

I think you have it correct. North is the Ronnie Woo Woo of Chicago media.
Very good.

Hasn't Mike North forgotten that Steve Dahl, Jonathon Brandmeier, Eddie Volkman & Joe Bohannon and other high-priced, million dollar radio voices have been sent packing in recent months due to the recession?

OK..the stuff from Reinsdorf is an interview North did with him for this BULLSHIT full page advertisement paid for by the usual suspects...Lecet and the Village of Rosemont....this is unreal....


North: "Jermaine Dye is like the $80,000 businessman who is losing his job but wants $80,000 again. He has some offers, but he calls them INSULTS. Are you surprised it has been this tough for him?

Reinsdorf: "I would expect he would bounce back".......etc.

I WONDER IF NORTH HAS ANY IDEA THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS OWN DUMB ASS AND NOT JERMAINE DYE????

If Jermaine Dye had BeBe North as his agent, he would have a 3 year deal with the Yankees by now.

He took down the countdown clock, but Dahl is still getting paid.

Mike North actually isnt a bad guy.

King- Are you guys just hating on him?

You are correct, McNown. Even though 104.3 JACK FM took Steve Dahl off its air due to dismal ratings in morning drive about a year ago, thanks in large part to Steve's fat contract by radio standards, CBS Radio continues to pay Dahl through next year. He has been mentioned possibly coming back if the rumored third sports talk radio station Emmis has reportedly been considering becomes a reality on the FM side.
