Mike North
Signing for “Settling the Score: Talkin’ Chicago Sports

Talking sports in the city of Chicago is often heated and always passionate. If you want a casual conversation about the state of baseball, the suggestion here would be to go to San Diego. Calm, reasoned, and well-modulated tones are not the order of business in discussing Chicago sports. When it comes to talking Chicago sports, Mike North is in a class by himself. He led the sports talk radio industry out of its formative stages and became the city’s most recognized voice. With his in-your-face style there is no reverential treatment of guests, no matter how big their celebrity status, just because they deigned to come on his show. In fact, the opposite is true. Anyone who comes on the air with him better know what they’re talking about and better be able to explain the reasons behind their actions, or they will be exposed as frauds, phonies, or incompetents.
