Imagine how lovely you have to be to be kicked out of terrestrial sports radio entirely. Imagine how lovely you have to be to have your only option be what amounts to a loving internet podcast.

I was gonna post something like "Ok, he doesn't like a certain announcer. Big deal." But then I saw those hot takes, and he made my head explode. edit: Mike North also called into his own station in 2006 WHILE DRIVING DRUNK. How he was not immediately fired is beyond me.

Mike North's Wikipedia page is a goldmine Calling Chicago Cubs Korean pitcher Jae Kuk Ryu a "Chinaman. North has released a CD, Caucasian Man, with music and interview highlights. This CD includes a parody song titled "Secret Asian Man." Opining that Hispanic-American newscaster Antonio Mora could get better ratings if he wore a sombrero during his newscasts

North also has the most absurd Chicago accent that has ever brayed, just imagine one of the Superfans screaming about replacing Jay Cutler with Jimmy Clauson it is literally shocking to me that enough people exist that can listen to that and think to themselves yes this is good that someone paid him 90s radio money which was real money.

It doesn't matter if they listen because they agree or they listen because it's a trainwreck all that matters is that they listen.

I guess I forgot who Craig Kilborn was, because I downloaded the most recent BS podcast expecting Craig Ferguson's gentle Scottish brogue and ended up hearing the most pompous rear end in a top hat in the universe tell stories about his non-famous friends that made Bill Simmons seem thoughtful and reserved by comparison.

One one hand, I admit I watched the Daily Show more when he was around On the other hand, there's a reason he's like tv's Stephon Marbury (without the Chinese worship) in which every show gets better after he leaves

In your defence, they both hosted the same late night show and are named Craig. The major difference of course, is that Ferguson is charming as gently caress, and Kilborn is the polar opposite. Dude lost his gig hosting the Daily Show to Jon Stewart by implying the Executive Producer of the show wanted to suck his cock
