They were both 2 pretty dumb picks.

Plus did you really need to specify the 2013 edition? Isn't every edition of Hub a deutschebank?

I don't think Hub was upset about the Bears drafting an offensive player. He was pissed they took a project. He wanted the team to take Tyler Eifert or whoever the best FOOTBALL player on the board was at the time of their pick.

Hub Arkush is the best NFL analyst in Chicago, & he is a very good show host. Hub, as well as everyone else in Chicago was unhappy with the Bears first round draft pick. He was unhappy that the Bears reached early for a project player who was projected as a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Hub was right to want the Bears to pick Eifert with the first pick. I like guys who aren't afraid to speak their mind like Hub, as opposed to Zach, who is a Bears kiss-ass, & its so bad that other Score hosts make fun of him for it.

Hub is MY GUY!

Why do you seem to "proclaim" your opinions with such pretentious self-assuredness lately, trying to pass them off as "facts"? What's gotten into you, son?

Bowen, Billick, Biggs, Edholm are more MY GUYS.

I'm not sure why the Score employs Hub as a "football expert"--last night's show was just the latest of many instances demonstrating that the guy doesn't care about the quality of information he brings to the radio. The station would be much better off employing someone like Sean Jensen, who seems to have excellent contacts around the league and is very articulate.

Hub's performance on LoHo's post-draft special last night was absolutely abysmal.

1) He had no idea why Marquess Wilson, a probable 2nd or 3rd round draft choice prior to 2012, slid to the seventh round. He needed LoHo's producers to call up a story explaining that Wilson had accused Mike Leach of abuse, a story he later recanted. This information is readily available on the internet and could have been obtained with a modicum of effort.

2)He had no idea who the Bears UDFAs were. It never occurred to him to investigate this information prior to going on the radio to talk about the Bears draft?

3)He had no idea why the Bears might've selected Cornelius Washington, other than to say he has "great athleticism." Hub then slammed the pick because Washington has a DUI and didn't produce at Georgia. Hub was apparently unaware that, according to multiple accounts, Washington performed very well during Senior Bowl practice week, dominating some first-round offensive linemen.

4)He began the show by apologizing to Phil Emery for saying he had "blown the pick" of Kyle Long. In the next sentence, he said he wasn't backing off his statement. The guy contradicts himself so much it's sometimes almost impossible to figure out what he is actually saying.

Thank you for typing all of that out, Midge. I listened to most of the show last night while getting in a little workout and making dinner and found myself looking at the radio in disbelief on several occasions. He's not just billed as the station's football expert, he'd billed as "Senior Football Expert." Knowing this stuff is his job, that's ALL he has to do. He was ready out of the gate with his apology that wasn't actually an apology but wasn't prepared to answer questions from callers or Laurence. It was embarrassing.

Another thing that often makes me PTFB on him is his "gigglespeak." He'll often start laughing/giggling while talking even though he's not saying anything funny.

The other thing that irked me about his discussion of Marquess Wilson was that at one point he implied/strongly suggested that Wilson shouldn't have gone to play for Mike Leach given the coach's reputation. Hub therefore thought Wilson's apparent fickleness was yet another example of his poor character.

Hub was clearly unaware that 2012 marked Leach's inaugural season as WSU coach and that he was trying to jettison players he didn't recruit from the team so he could free up scholarships.

I agree with a lot of what Hub says. I can't stand Cutler and he's not crazy about him either. He was of the opinion they shouldn't have given Forte a long term deal, but slapped the franchise on him, if they couldn't make a good deal. He says they reached for long at #20 and I agree. They guy has opinions and can back them up. I think he does a good job. You may not agre with him, but he does his job well.
