Hub makes the show unlistenable because he goes out of his way to defend the Bears hierarchy, it makes him sound silly at times. His and some of his families careers are dependent upon full access to the NFL and the Bears in particular, this has increasingly made his Bears thoughts less and less valid over the years.

Trying to remove the emotion from fandom makes no sense, after all if people were not emotionally attached to the team no one would be spending time watching the games which drives up ratings and allows the NFL to still function despite playing in empty stadiums.

In fact, professional sports rely on the irrational investment of emotional capital by fans, without it there is no money, no jobs for pro athletes, and no sports talk radio.
