Mike North from “The Mike North Morning Show” on The Score (670-AM) joins us Wednesdays.
TODAY’S QUESTIONS
TOPIC 1: SOMEONE YELLS, ‘PUT IN BRIAN GRIESE!’ WHAT DO YOU TELL THEM?
Jimmy Greenfield: “All in due time, my friend. All in due time.”
Leo Ebersole: “Knock it off, Orton!”
Brian Moore: “What can Griese do that Grossman hasn’t already proved he can do?”
Mike North: “What for? We have Sexy Rexy!”
Bag Boy: “Mom, please, let the professional handle this. Just get me my meatloaf.”
TOPIC 2: WHY AREN’T THE CUBS GOING HARD AFTER FREE-AGENT BARRY ZITO?
Jimmy Greenfield: Pitchers who average 223 innings and 16 wins a season go against the organization’s philosophy.
Leo Ebersole: They’re not used to coaching lefties who can find the strike zone.
Brian Moore: Haven’t you heard? They locked up Kerry Wood, solving all their pitching problems.
Mike North: I don’t know. Maybe because he’s healthy.
Bag Boy: Miscommunication. For the past month they’ve been mistakenly dialing a Mr. Larry Bito instead.
TOPIC 3: GIVE BEN GORDON A PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITY TO DO DURING HIS TIME ON THE BENCH.
Jimmy Greenfield: Turn around and yell to people in the front row, “How much did you pay? Suckers!”
Leo Ebersole: Curl up with a copy of “Invisible Man.”
Brian Moore: Plot your revenge involving Ben-Gay, a jockstrap and a midnight locker-room raid.
Mike North: He’s got four letters, he’s playing Scrabble and the letters are P.A.S.S.
Bag Boy: Keep an eye on the “Kiss-Cam.” If it spots you and Coach Skiles together, go for it. Go. For. It.
TOPIC 4: PLAN AHEAD: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING BOBBY KNIGHT FOR CHRISTMAS?
Jimmy Greenfield: A home visit with Dr. Phil.
Leo Ebersole: If I can fend off the crowd, probably a Strangle-Me Elmo.
Brian Moore: A membership to AARP, a straitjacket and a one-way ticket to Thailand.
Mike North: A squirt gun.
Bag Boy: He seems stressed so maybe one of those expensive massage chairs to throw around.
TOPIC 5: HOW CAN MUHSIN MUHAMMAD AVOID THE RISK OF AN END-ZONE CELEBRATION PENALTY?
Jimmy Greenfield: Just grow up already. I am so sick of these stupid dances. Just grow up.
Leo Ebersole: Play it safe and celebrate all future TDs by impersonating Lovie Smith.
Brian Moore: If he keeps fumbling at the goal line, he won’t have to worry about it.
Mike North: Act like he’s been there before.
Bag Boy: Tell the refs he’s just practicing for his tryout on “Dancing With the Stars.”
