Mike North from “The Mike North Morning Show” on The Score (670-AM) joins us Wednesdays.
TODAY’S QUESTIONS
TOPIC 1: HOW CAN CHICAGO TEAMS USE THE COLD WEATHER TO THEIR ADVANTAGE?
Phillip Thompson: Spring Training batters won’t be expecting fastballs made of snow.
Leo Ebersole: The Bulls could install a retractable roof over the visiting team’s locker room.
Mike North: Did we not go to the Super Bowl for 21 years ’cause of weather? I knew it was something like that.
Stick Figure: If I spit a loogey and hold it long enough, will it freeze?
Bag Boy: Degrees of coldness can be measured by the Hawks’ power play.
TOPIC 2: WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT RON RIVERA’S TRIP TO DALLAS GOT DELAYED BY SNOW?
Phillip Thompson: Tough one. If it was in Dallas, I’d say hell was freezing over.
Leo Ebersole: It’s fate. (Run, Ron! Follow me to freedom!)
Mike North: The snow is nothing; the snow job begins when he lands.
Stick Figure: At redeyechicago.com/lookalikes, my twin is a snowball.
Bag Boy: It means it’s the second time this week our D-coordinator was stymied by weather.
TOPIC 3: IT’S WEDNESDAY. WHAT’S REX GROSSMAN DOING?
Phillip Thompson: He’s throwing a party–which, of course, will be intercepted by Kelvin Hayden.
Leo Ebersole: He’s doing whatever he can to not read a newspaper, watch TV or listen to the radio.
Mike North: Still nursing his New Year’s and Super Bowl hangovers!
Stick Figure: Wednesday? What color is that?
Bag Boy: Waiting for his last pass Sunday to come floating back to Earth.
TOPIC 4: COME UP WITH A SECRET FORMULA TO HELP THE BULLS OUT WEST.
Phillip Thompson: Hold a stick attached to a carrot attached to a $100 bill in front of Tyrus Thomas.
Leo Ebersole: C’mon, man, they’re just out there to get their check and call it a day.
Mike North: Kevin Garnett … too obvious?
Stick Figure: I’m not allowed to keep secrets. (Psst, I work for the CIA!)
Bag Boy: Score more points + opponents score less points = how you win, idiots!
TOPIC 5: IS IT TIME TO START WORRYING ABOUT THE CUBS AND SOX?
Phillip Thompson: I’m not sure if Lou Piniella has lost it, but the Cubs are all driving down to Arizona in diapers.
Leo Ebersole: Oh, definitely. And the deadline to start giving up on both teams is March 1.
Mike North: Who stopped worrying?
Stick Figure: I’m always worried about the Subs.
Bag Boy: The way I see it, technically, neither team has enough wins right now to make the playoffs.
