Bro there's something cool about your posts, like they're from another time and place. Only that time and place is like 15 minutes ago on this board. No snark, just pretty cool.

Strange thread.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Hub.

And great radio guy.

McNeil and Parkins played a clip of Hub from yesterday. He took a call from a guy in Washington DC and had to say "I'm about as close as I want to get to DC (hee-hee), but not because of you (hee-hee)."

There's really no point in doing that. His political views add nothing of value to the show.

Let's not swoon so hard for Hub. He's been temporarily humbled but deep down he is the guy thinking "where did you play your ball". He spent decades being the dismissive corporate shill and I suspect that guy is lurking in the shadows waiting for a return call from the Bears.

Wgn was really straight laced back then. No nipple talk. Everybody working now at the score is a Cubs shill. So why single out Hub.

Hub wasn't just a shill back in his glory days. He was the guy who looked at the fan as unworthy of even being on his phone lines. I'm supposed to believe that he has completely changed his ways and is now the friend of the people holding Chicago teams accountable.

Hub is a nice listen on holidays and weekends

His is the dream job of armchair quarterbacks. During the professional football season, it's difficult not to hear his name on radio or see him on television, wearing one of his trademark sweaters (part of a promotional deal).

Was HUb the same guy in Dirty Dragon and Gigglesnort Hotel? Or maybe just Daryl Dragon?

There can't be more than a dozen posters here who get that reference, nicely played.

Now that's a power combover! Combined with the must-ache you're looking at a man at the peak of his powers who had the stones to tell God "no" when it came to male pattern baldness!
