Mike North is employed again?

[Sammy Sofa]

I just assume Mike North pretends to call people with a fishbone to his ear from the trashcan he lives in.

Him and Mike Murphy are like roaches, they somehow continue to exist in the sports media world. I always do a double take when I hear Murphy's voice on ESPN 1000 on the weekends.

probably cause there's a certain element of society that radio companies can always depend on listening to sports talk radio

 

they also want to make america great again and decry the pussification of today's youth

it's kind of amazing thinking back and knowing mike murphy had a regular permanent midday show in chicago. like, what?

[Sammy Sofa]

It's not like what's on the air now is much better.

He has a nationally syndicated show, even though he's worse than ever. His accent makes me want to murder everyone

Disagree.

 

Spiegel and Goff, and even Boers and Bernstein are miles better than what Murph was doing.

Murphy is probably bad enough to say that about Kaplan, but that's pretty bad

looks like quite a few people also used the word, sickened.

 

Is that common for death announcements or is there a story here about how he died?

It seems like the "how" is being avoided in everything I've seen.

[jersey cubs fan]

so most likely auto erotic asphyxiation

Since I haven't seen anything about a serious illness, I just assumed heart attack.

[Banedon]

TMZ says it's unexpected, and no foul play.

I've spent a lot of time on Illinois's off-topic board, so I can only assume Hillary Clinton ordered him to be killed.
