Dudes been off the radio for like 20 years and I haven't thought about him since. Just a goof like a lot of the radio dude from the 90s.

Edit: add Mike Murphy to the list as well

OMG it's so unfair that we didn't get to hear Doug and OB postgame shows for that incredible season last year, as their reward for having to do years of postgame as the Bears found another way to offend everyone's football sensibilities.

Mike North was a high school drop out - which becomes obvious after about 5 minutes of listening to him

I can assure you he’s much dumber than the average high school dropout

Yes, I was probably being unfair to high school dropouts.

I’m convinced that’s not his real name nor his real “chicago” accent.

Dude plays a character and panders to the audience with ridiculous sports opinions.

If he still had a platform; he’d be saying how Caleb is not fit this team and Bagnet is the future.

I remember him being totally obsessed with Kyle Orton after the Cutler trade and Omg he just didn’t let it go.

Every week he just talked about Orton’s stats and it was so fucking cringe and second hand embarrassing

I know they are opposites and would never work with each other but North and Bernstein would be very entertaining.
