Hub Arkush is a sports reporter for the Chicago station that carries the Bears games and he’s the Bears sideline reporter. He had a national profile thru his own weekly paper called Pro Football Weekly which had been around forever but mostly died when the Internet arrived. Up to this year he also had a very low-budget discussion panel show with all his Chicago Bears buddies like Dave Wannstedt and Dan Hampton. I think he lost his Rum Chata sponsorship (they funded it) and the TV show didnt air this year.

I actually had a few lunches with Hub back in the day at the Blackhawk restaurant in Wheeling and kept in touch over the years but last time we talked was over email a season ago. He’s a good guy who loves the NFL and really loves the Bears but he’s just wrong in this case. Sure, he can set whatever standard he wants to set for his vote but this is pretty lame.
