Hub is alright as a fill in because he's so old time radio-ey. Just his patterns and sayings. Feels like Im listening to the radio in 1962

And he's wrong a lot....A LOT.

I don't hate Hub, he has a decent radio voice, knows more about other sports then Mully and Hanley combined, treats callers with respect most of the time.....

But to think he deserves his own ALS is simply wacky talk.

SomeGuy, I have every bit of hope and confidence that our message board friendship can be repaired. We're going through troubled waters right now.

Honest question. Who is right A LOT? Seems most of em just talk a lot. I haven't noticed anyone that stands out above the rest in the "Got it right" category.

Exactly. The hosts who prognosticate the most are likely to be wrong an awful lot. Hub goes out on a limb very often, so it's to be expected that some of his predictions don't pan out.

North used to do the same thing. Others (like Bernstein) can't be bothered to predict anything, thus ensuring that it won't bite him on the ass later. That's the safe way of doing things. Like I said, Hub is just a strong believer in his own opinion. And if you're going to have an opinion and be in media, why wouldn't you believe in what you're saying?

Because he is such a smarmy bastard when doing it.

The little chuckle/cackle, his tone is all wrong.

"Hehehe, come on guys, no one in their right mind would sign <insert name here> at left tackle, I mean, that's just silly..."

Does he even have any "inside sources"? I mean, BernSTINE has Jason Goff to fill him in on all the NBA locker rooms, who is sleeping with who, who wants who fired etc....but does Hub have that same gay, I mean guy in his stable?

I appreciate the reply SomeGuy, but I don't think you answered the question. Who is right more often than Hub or other prognosticators?

I don't think I can answer the question...other people are wrong, no doubt, but Hub manages to do it in a way that calls undue attention to him from message board posters. And that, I think, is my point....I think

Being wrong is alright, but if you are going to throw it out there be sure not to come off as a total douche bag.

Oh, Terry Boer's has been right on everything.

Here is a short list:

-Jay Cutler
-Sarah Kustoks father being a murderer.
-Everything else, ever.

I viewed him more of a mic sniffer. We need to upgrade him to jock sniffer and give him a mic and we might have something.

The Professor over at ESPN. You can pretty much take whatever he reports to the bank. It isn't an unfair comparison as Hub is supposed to be an league wide expert with a network of inside information for his magazine.

I'll listen and see. I have never analyzed what he says, just that he says a lot. The similarities are good. Only difference might be that Hub does attempt to spray to all fields here whereas the Professor I believe speaks only NFL. For the purpose of my question though that isn't relevant.

I mean, come on, Darkside doesn't have the endurance to lick my ass crack and $5000 suit doesn't post nearly enough to be considered a true pro-poster, he's a nickle poster at best with some low upside. Who you got posting .GIF's, crosscheck? This kid may have some talent but he doesn't know Tumblr, let alone have the size and strength to put a hand on the ground and hit up GIFSOUP. You have some pieces there but, come on, that isn't a playoff team, disaster written all over it.

Or, you know, your ALS might run the table and win the title."

Hub sucks.

Michael Vick is not an NFL QB.

Can this also be the All The Shit Hub Is Laughably Wrong About Compendium Thread?

-Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl
-Bills are a really solid football team, especially on defense
-Michael Vick is not an NFL quarterback

That is the only positive thing about Hub!
