Universally, the local media and sports radio seems to be praising Poles/Eberflus. No one is questioning why they haven't added pieces yet to help Fields. I wonder how long the honeymoon will last.

In contrast, several local Vikings media members are already questioning the path that the Vikings are on...signing Kirk, not making big moves on the oline. I guess it's easier to get a pass when it looks like a total re-build.

I despise when sports talkers use the word "transparency". I hate this term and the people who use it as i. Parkins once said one of the main reasons the Cubs rebuild was successful was because they were transparent. No, they were successful because they won the World Series.

Nothing new here. We've seen this cycle before. Rinse and repeat.

and YES to enigma's comment on transparency. I hear eough of that bullshit at work every day.

Had a grabber at Hallas Hall earlier this week - on a vent - not looking good.

I think that he will make it through.

Instead of doing 900 pushups a day he should cut back to 825 for a while.

Good news.

Wishing him well. Don't have an opinion on him since I don't follow the bears or chicago sports radio, but I used to play basketball with his son Billy at the park across from his house about 1000 years ago and he was a great kid.

And great work for poor kids across the city as well.

No flash, no look at me, just a guy with a huge heart.

Getting better incrementally everyday.

It's weird that none of his colleagues are even mentioning it.

The family probably asked them to stfu.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a news story. I'm sorry, Hub's family, but it is what it is.

I don't think it is. Respecting the wishes of a colleague should trump whatever newsworthiness this "story" could have.

Every sports reporter is a colleague? Report, or get out of the reporting business.

What makes it newsworthy? Once you open that can, everyone's medical issues will be on the internet. Some things should be private. Hub doesn't have a job where the public should know about his problem without his approval.

He's a public figure. Public figures get reported on, even medical issues. Obviously, a doctor or family can be mute, but it doesn't give them autonomy of rendering others mute. That seems to be the case here. No one will even say there's a medical issue. OH, THE HARM.

Hub and his colleagues had no problems reporting and commenting on the vaccination status of players ( or more to the point, which ones were not vaccinated) so I don’t think they get to hide behind the “ it’s no one’s business what his medical status is “ shield . Hub also dimed out that restaurant he ate at where OMG people weren’t masked didn’t he ?
