1. At one time you almost despised the Score listeners when you hosted the Dick Jauron show and thought so little, you were in on the move to take it to WBBM.

2. Then when they had the honor of having you on the Score, you told everyone how smart you are, asked where callers played their ball and told us all how you dont play fantasy football because it's just dumb.

3. Then the Bears fired you and look who is Mr. WSCR football guy.

4. Then you reluctantly joined a FFL league because you said some many others are, you felt you needed to. (You didnt)

5. Actually hosting FFL Shows on the Score?

If you could stop giggling when anyone asks you a question, maybe you can come clean about how your career is one huge hypocritical fuck up. Your foolish insights are covered up by your lazy longevity around the NFL which somehow others equate to knowledge of the NFL and keep you employed. Where do the Chiefs finish this year Hub?

This is a pretty solid list, you cover it all, BigFan. I find Hub alright about 10% of the time.

What annoys me about Hub is how he can write an article saying how much smarter he was than Lovie, but he's the same guy that ran his family's business into the ground. He was so against social media until it was too late, only now he uses twitter etc. Shut up Hub

Frank Coztansa · **Posted:** Tue Aug 13, 2013 8:41 am

Maybe Hub and Elmhurst Steve could go out for a nice romantic dinner after the fantasy football convention later this month.

Here's what sums up my dislike of Hub: When he gave his "Goodbye to PFW" interview on The Score, he still had to blame "those kids and their new fangled interwebs thing". Just go out with class, dude. And now he's on Twitter and has his own website.

Bucky Chris · **Posted:** Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:01 am

People are allowed to change their minds on things, though.

I can see the issue being that he didn't outwardly admit he was dead wrong... but the fact that his company shut down should be enough. He was wrong. ANd it cost him his business.

You'd think a guy would take a slice of humble pie, but he was still arrogant in that interview. Just not a likable guy to me. Any time he guest hosts, it's PTFB ASAP.

Look, I strongly dislike the guy. And from hearing him, not in a billion years would I expect him to have a slice of humble pie.

"those kids and their newfangled interwebs thing" would have been a cute and quaint self aware jab 10 years ago, but the internet and social media isn't exactly the hot new product....it's been around for a bit.

Hub is a smug clown with zero self-awareness.

He also came off as sort of blaming readers for PFW's demise because they did not want to pay for PFW content. The guy thought he could succeed by applying Jurassic-era business paradigms to his operation, and it rightly cost him.

Agree

I hope Hub creates a profile here so that threads like this will no longer be valid.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater · **Posted:** Tue Aug 13, 2013 12:03 pm

It sounds like biggie didn't hear on the web stream, like so many tens of others around Chicagoland did, that PFW invented the national fantasy football league. They were doing this in the year of our Lord Nineteen-Hundred and Eighty.

That was a great year for many reasons.

Is there something else that Hub was responsible for?

I'd be a lot richer if there were.

Ahh, I knew it was something else too. Like WTF? What makes your shit better than what ESPN or the FOX guys or CBS guys do?

Mr. Woodcock · **Posted:** Tue Aug 13, 2013 2:37 pm

Hub is maybe the most arrogant, ignorant, and hypocritical personality on any sports medium over the last 25 years.

Didnt mention his close friendship with Jim Harbaugh, that when he was forced to go cover the Super Bowl (What a chore) he talked to Harbaugh about his family and didnt mention the game and Jim called him by his name!!!!!! WOW!!

This guy not only had the best publication out there, he had such a head start on everyone else in the media industry and blew it about 4 times over the past 7 years. He kept selling a % of his company until he had no more % to sell.

Its a sad story when it is a farm and the farmer is trying to make it alone and has to keep selling acres to support his family, but it isnt a sad story when a guy just refuses to do what is obvious and make an internet site that rivaled every other site. Including the NFL's for stats

It must be 10 years now that john DeWan sold Stats inc for $28 mill, guess what, there's a fucking clue as to what is valuable Hub! Ya Giggling Bastard

I was on "the internet" before the world knew what it was. Using GOPHER from the University of Minnesota & Mosaic,I remember how thrilled I was when I ftp'd a picture of a Asian woman holding an umbrella. Now everything has passed me up with guys figuring out how to make millions from a website...sigh... :eye:

I agree 100%. I know he can be an arrogant ass,but he has a wealth of knowledge and a calm delivery.

pittmike · **Posted:** Tue Aug 13, 2013 7:13 pm

I am not certain why but I don't mind having him on. Maybe just familiarity or there isn't much better on as Doug said.

jimmypasta · **Posted:** Tue Aug 13, 2013 7:16 pm

In defense of Hub,his infamous "where did you play ball?" comment sticks out like a sore thumb because he usually is pretty decent with callers. Bernsie says mean,ignorant shit all day,all night.

I highly question the accuracy of his alleged wealth of knowledge.

His schtick is to question everything and use a failure as an example of a terrible front office.

Remember, "Phil Emery just blew this pick! and I am not backing down on this one!"

By the end of this season, Long might be our best Lineman and one of the top in the NFL. He will be moving to RT before you know it.

Today he was worried about the depth in the secondary. They lost a starter to injury. Yes, of course it is an issue. You lose a starter for the season and you plug in an untested younger player.

Is their another team that has tested veteran DB's sitting on the bench improving the teams depth?

Hub is master of the obvious and poises questions as if he has seen a weakness most dont.

He rarely answers any questions.

And the fact that his criticism of the Bears didnt start until they fired him tells me all I need to know about him.

I like Hub as a host. Easy listen. Can talk to callers and have a conversation.

I'd listen to him everyday.
