WSoxShuf Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 He has such conservative garbage the entire day. Also, if I have to hear anymore about bands not in the rock hall of fame, i will explode. My only radio in the house does not get FM, so not Stern till the car ride.

israel4ever Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I never thought anything could be dumber than Mike North talking sports...until I heard Mike North talking politics. The guy is "almost retarded"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAVVY18 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I gotta say Murph was a cub lovin' tool that pissed me off, but North just blows. I had it on for 15 minutes today and not 1 mention of sports. All political crap. At least during football season Murph talked about the Bears and put his cub love on the side. I guess ya gotta be careful what you wish for. But I gotta say Mike and Mike is a really good show. I would rather hear about local sports, but any sports is better than North.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 His right wing bulls*** is a joke. I dont even listen to him anymore. It's pathetic. Right wing? Even right wingers should be embarassed by North. The guy is bigoted, ignorant trash. He rides that whole "I'm just not P.C" crap which is just a convenient excuse for being an ignorant bigot. His show is less and less sports and more and more shock jock crap. Maybe he is positioning himself to replace Stern when he's gone. Listen the WBBM news in the morning, or music on FM, North is garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I've been listening to Mike North since 1994. I've always maintained that comedy is the most important aspect of sports radio, and Mike has provided plenty of that over the past decade. That said, his morning show is terrible. I can't listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 No offense to anyone's listening habits, but I never have understood why anyone has to listen to talking heads for anything. People like North, Mariotti, heck Rush, O'Reilly etc, are completely full of s***. They write or say whatever will get them ratings. They don't care about what they talk about, they only care about money. And people paying attention to them, just furthers their cause. Don't listen to them, don't read them, don't buy their papers. If the public actually were to demand intelligence for their media by their actions, and not just their words, we might actually get some integretity in the media, instead of complete garbage.

As much as I hate Mariotti, I enjoy listening to his show on 1000 and was happy when they dumped Rome and added an hour. I listen to sports radio all day long with a little Mancow on the drive in to work. I could care less about them making money as long as I am being entertained. Without Mariotti, Boers and Bernstein, Dan Patrick, Mike and Mike, and of course Mac, Jurko, and Harry, my day would drag on forever. Mike North sucks, and always has sucked. He is good when he interviews someone, but once you get to his prejudice opinions, he is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But guys like Mariotti and Rush provide zero humor. North has always been funny, though. Whether it's Ron Santo impressions, songs like "Secret Asian Man" and "The Caucasian Man Can", his Thanksgiving code of conduct, etc, he always managed to make me laugh one way or another. And again, if people want to learn about sports, you have to read and watch the games. Sports radio will not get it done...it's just way too vague. Looking for definitive sports information on the radio is almost like doing your grocery shopping at 7-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyw Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 As a former Score employee, and a former producer for, and still pal of, both Murph and North, I can assure your that: 1) Though I may not agree with his politics, Mike North is NOT a bigot. 2) Murph has a lot of love for the Sox as well, and tries to be entertaining. Period. You won't hear politics on his show because he's not as vain as North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well put. Those guys are probably not that way in every day life, it's all about rating and cash, whores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyw Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 With North, what you hear is what you get... or at least that was the case when I knew him better... Murph reveals a little less about himself on-air... I've heard stories that Marotti is a jerk in real life. case in point; I think he attended my alma mater, Ohio University. As an undergrad writer for the student newspaper, I once heard an unconfimred story that he wrote an editoral so critical of the women's field hockey team that they actually showed up at the paper's offices ready to kick his ass... can't confirm that, however... But, yeah, its all bout the benjamins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox1422 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Some of the funniest stuff I have heard on sports radio recently is Boers acting like Ron Santo. It doesn't get old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSoxShuf Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 What is the score's purpose of putting him at this time slot?? IS the score trying to get more political or is this his last step before being he gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalls2598 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I agree....north sucks. and as much as i really didnt like murph, i enjoyed the murph and fred show. now i never turn on the score while north is on. he was better suited for the 2-6 or whatever he was...a timeslot i never had to listen too. boers and bernstein have the best show on the score. i love it when they have people call in and they tease the caller with the various sound clips, like Hey Buddy and when they use the sound clips for the first few seconds of the call. you know what i mean. good show guys.
