Marty34 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder. Per Bill Zwecker today: SPORTS SHORT: Hmmm. Mike North has been hanging out at U.S. Cellular Field lately — and I’m hearing it’s about a lot more than just watching the last few games of the White Sox’s 2011 season. Sources say the veteran broadcaster has the ear of Jerry Reinsdorf, and North was seen huddling behind closed doors with other Sox honchos Friday, reportedly about more than just a radio gig.

Dick Allen Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 07:33 PM) Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder. Per Bill Zwecker today: That would really add insult to injury. Get rid of one classless clown (Ozzie), bring in an even more classless clown. I know North wanted to be a color commentator. But I really think that is out of the question. It may be some sort of White Sox programming on CSN. That's the only thing I can think of. I wonder how long until it would be cancelled? The guy is poison in this town. Stay away JR unless you want to alienate the rest of your fanbase.

Kyyle23 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 guys, i think we should just relax. North probably has some quality financial advise for JR. and he also knows of a guy that Jerry can invest all of his money with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, North's involvement with the White Sox would be disheartening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeFabregas Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I would exchange at least one 2012 win if it meant keeping North away from the radio and tv broadcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 This doesn't bother me. What is North going to do, take over as GM? Get hired as manager? I don't even buy that we'd put him on the radio broadcast, considering his history with The Score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
