OhmyohmygoodnessohDumping Hub was a Big MistakeIt appears they fired Hub and are cowardly hiding behind "it's a business decision." He was the only one here who knew anything about football, and I have unsubscribed to this show.
-
BillbatzHubIt sounds like they got rid of Hub.I’ll find a place where I can listen Hub, as he is the most knowageable football expert there is.
-
emptynestingmattBio Hub? No ListenHub no longer on podcast makes this not worth the time. Good luck guys
-
Payton3434Sinking faster than cnnIf you like politics in your sports and repeats of what ever the talk points are of the mainstream media this is the pod for you
-
Jjc4Hub is the best of all time!It is great to hear Hub again. He does an amazing job being realistic about who the Bears are while staying optimistic about what they could become.

Doug CMainly rough with some gems.You would be hard pressed to find someone that knows the Chicago Bears better than Hub Arkush, but sadly he’s lost his fastball. He had a serious health incident and it is impacting his performance, perhaps he should take more time away. Again the guy is a legend so it is painful to hear him not on his game. The show also suffers from numerous production issues - dogs barking, cellphones ringing and microphone issues. At times it has an amateur hour feel. The two other hosts are green and without a pro (like Hub) to guide them, the show suffers. That said the other hosts are likable and do bring some good insights and info. But they are too often distracted by reading live listeners questions and loose track of the show’s flow. For diehard Bears fans this is worth a listen, but keep your expectations low with regard to production quality.

MaybNexYr Bear fan 77Gents provide a good fair Bears evaluationThe guys provide a good Bears podcast, although Hub’s seniority added a more well rounded overall Bears review. Very enjoyable Bears report!

vincent daytonNot DependableThis crew never posts when they say they will. It’s an outrage. You’d think that old buttkisser Arkush could at least attend to his business on time. July 1 addendum: the lack of professionalism continues. Podcast every Friday? Don’t bet on it.
-
mnhawkeye1950On again off againGreat content but lack of consistency drives me crazy. They post and then go silent. Too bad because when they post it’s usually worthwhile. They also continue to have tech issues. Hub’s apologies are fine, but after this long they should be getting those issues corrected.
-
11344666BoringA good review about bears football, just the energy level and old school thought process is overall just boring and uneventful. Seems like the host is always a week behind when reporting news.
-
andrew 2812A jokeDisgrace to media everywhere.
-
rable78Love the showI like the fact it isn’t a fanboy podcast and Hub is the best when it comes to talking about the Bears.
-
thatsmy2senseFor the True Bears FanNot a lot of fluff to this podcast, just straight talk and analysis for hard core Bears fans. In a sea of Bears pods with beat guys just repeating the takes they’ve heard or rumors they saw on twitter, Hub and his crew feel well-sourced. Could use a production upgrade, no doubt, but when a Bears story breaks, I want to hear Hub’s take first. Wish it was more frequent.
-
BlogworkorangeBears podcast gem thanks to HubHub really knows his way around the bears, is it afraid to have an unpopular opinion but doesn’t seek one out. Really appreciated the in detail analyses of players, coaches, systems, cap everything while keeping the big picture in mind. gem of a podcast.
-
NRF The LandlordReviewContent is great but the production and professionalism is lacking. Too often there are sound problems, or a host’s cell phone ringing. It feels like an afterthought too often, and that’s too bad because for the hardcore football fan it’s very informative.
-
BEARS FAN 2312The bestThe best Bears podcast out there! Check out Sean’s scouting reports too...good stuff.
-
DoritobagX10Sound qualityI can’t believe week after week and you can’t fix sound quality. Terrible. You are better than this.
-
KyjygyfyfMy Favorite Bears PodThis along with Olin Kreutz & Jason McKie’s new podcast (similarly No Named) are my favorite Bears podcasts. I love Hub’s insight and analysis and his knowledge of the franchise’s history/trajectory.
-
cjs008700Suggested title for the podcastThe “I can’t figure out a soundboard” Bears podcast. Not bad content but the overall execution is embarrassing. Hub is so quiet that you have to turn the volume close to max to hear him over the road noise then when anyone else talks you have feel the tinnitus settling in... Seriously, I have no idea how I have managed to deal with this garbage this long. You would think they’re pranking us with how bad the audio engineering by is.
-
IadubberContent good mixing badLove the Bears content but come on with the terrible audio mixing. The podcast audio is so low and then a commercial kicks in and blows your ears out.
-
GhjgffghjjvvvccnNot a football podcast.....Almost 20 minutes in still haven’t heard anything about football. Gee whiz!!! Deleting this pod.
-
PjcubsIt was okAnd now it’s gone ,, bye
-
joe66#HubI love this podcast. Hub knows his stuff. Just wondering why they have stopped having podcasts? Hope all is well.
-
PanchoMikeDecent Bears Podcast.Hub, I know you have been following the Bears over 40 years, but that does not make your opinions or takes statements of fact, as I believe you sometimes think they are. You’re better as a featured guest on 670. PS I was on the RRH train with you from the start though. And that dix is an upgrade over Amos.
-
gcraig99Hub is wrong a lotI’ve been listening to Hub for years but recently I noticed how wrong he is factually. Opinions are one thing but his takes are flat out wrong A LOT!! Arthur on the other hand is excellent. I can tell that he disagrees with his father a good amount of time.But it’s hard to argue because he doesn’t want to rock the boat
-
ptmacdiddyHub is greatI always enjoy hearing hubs opinions and Arthur works in well with the podcast . Enjoyable
-
sweetnessfan34Mike Swerski from PennsylvaniaYo guys enjoy the pod, concerning our issues at TE , I’m concerned. TE is a big part of the Nagy offense; agreed. Trey Burton has the potential to be very very good at TE; agreed. Hold on, got to stop, my groin is locking up. I think we should draft a TE
-
Greg from shorewoodLove this showI am always really happy to see a new episode pop up on my iTunes account. Bears fans must listen. Keep up the good work guys.
-
AndyHasFiveOfBroatsBest Bears Podcast Out ThereThis is the best of the Bears podcasts and gets good insider/scout perspectives on the team.
-
Don from ILInsights from the prosI always enjoy Hub Arkush's Bears insight and it's great to get added perspective from Bob LeGere, too. I just think these guys have so many other things going on during the season that they can't get a podcast posted quickly and sometimes I miss an episode previewing the next week's game.
-
huge428GoodbyeThey just had to run their mouth about politics so I will now be deleting them now.
-
FootballJunkie28The Browns of Bears PodcastsI subscribe to this podcast only because I can’t get enough Bears content. Between the poor audio quality, lack of legitimate insight and the tacky, incessant typing in the background- this podcast is just hot garbage. Step your game up guys.
-
MarcHooksMore professional!I love Hub and Arthur! They give great analysis and are consistent in their ability to get a feel for where this team is at. That said, the sound quality is awful. There are times when the sound of someone typing is audible, the voice cuts out, or there is a buzzing sound. It’s almost unlistenable at times. The Shaw company should put some more money in technology to get this thing up to par. It’s sad right now.
-
Drteeth07Clean it upThe typing in the background is really annoying.
-
Mike8285Good content but what is with the typing?I like the podcast content a lot but there is so much background noise. Lots of loud typing and people talking, it’s very distracting.
-
linden31Strange noisePlease stop typing( sounds like typing) while you’re doing the podcast, it takes away from the show.
-
Cleveland Nick.Key boardPlease stop using your key board it’s beyond annoying when trying to hear guest speak.
-
Is923Good analysis; poor technical qualityI have been listening to this podcast for the last couple of years and the discussion/analysis is good. The problem is the commentators sound like they are in a tunnel or drop out mid sentence. There may be too much use of a speaker instead of a headset. Also, please stop the typing sound that is clearly audible every week. It’s very distracting and takes attention away from the discussion. Update 9/27/18: I wrote a review 2 weeks asking to please stop the infuriating typing noise. I just started listening to the latest episode and it took a a grand total of 30 seconds before the typing noise started again. I don’t understand why this is so hard to fix. Regardless, I am dropping this broadcast. There are other Bears podcasts that don’t have this issue.
-
Noah M-CAudio editing anyone?This has great Bears commentary! But the audio is terrible. Can someone please ask Hub to mute his mic when he’s not talking? The paper rustling, computer typing, and other noise in the background are distracting and amateur. Fix that and this would be a 5 star review.
-
sbtbnikeSound qualityThe content is generally good. However, the sound quality leaves something to be desired. I would suggest that whoever is typing in the background on these podcasts stop doing it. It makes for a distracting listening experience.
-
HdjdbbwhdbbdContent great - Audio unBEARable!I’m shocked Hub isn’t incensed by the sound quality of this podcast. Intro song played 4 minutes into discussions. Someone is doing the dishes in the background, dog interrupting Hub. Meanwhile I can hear every page shuffle, cough and chair squeak. I love Hub’s football knowledge, but I don’t think I can get past the poor quality any longer.
-
RandJamIt sounds like a Foley artists podcastFirst of all tremendous football knowledge between all the contributors here. Hub has been a Chicago sports guy for as long as I can remember. Great insight! But the back ground noise is maddening? Clicks, creaks, chewing, doors opening and closing, keyboard typing.
-
Russh0leGood content . . . High School Audio QualityDo they listen to how horrible the sound is? Third time complaining about this. Hub is always in a car as if he forgets when the podcast is recorded. Others are on muffled cellphones. Can't they stop and restart? UnBEARable to listen and often half to stop half way through and delete.
-
DhjsvbjdcvGet off my lawn!!Only bears podcast I have unsubscribed to. They have very bad takes (like Deon Bush is going to beat out Amos) and reject modern, advanced statistics. They sound like a bunch of grumpy old men that haven’t wanted to change since the 70s. Just to put the cherry on top, their theme song sounds like a viagra commercial. Not a good podcast
-
leonarem1Thank youThank you for your work covering our favorite team.
-
BearsStuffGreat Content Undone by HostA podcast is not a radio show. Please, please stop telling us what we're listening to and who you are. And stop with the bad music interrupting the last seconds. Plus the audio mix quality is awful. And why are you always rushing the timing. "Only a couple of minutes left". What time pressure are you under? You're not creating urgency. You're making it irritating. You guys know your stuff. Just deliver the content professionally.

Pc31413458383ReviewI like the podcast and think the analysis is consistently solid. The one thing that annoys me is Arthur Arkush treating the podcast like a radio show. We know it’s a podcast. We ourselves physically go to the podcast app and choose to listen. You don’t have to tell us a thousand times per episode that we are listening to the Pro Football Weekly Chicago Bears Podcast. We already know that because we clicked on the episode. Also, it is not necessary to squeeze in randomly to follow you guys on Twitter. If we want to follow you on Twitter trust us we will. I get saying it once every few episodes but you don’t need to force it randomly into every episode. Lastly, and this is going back to my point of treating the podcast like it’s radio, you don’t have to remind us who is on the podcast. We already know after the first introduction. I really like the podcast and listen to every episode but these things are starting to become super annoying. Arthur overdoes the “host” part of the show way too hard. Just steer the conversation and add some insight. Just some constructive criticism.

azwarrior773rdgenbearfanBeen listening to Hub talk about the Bears for years he always a fair interesting take
-
beardowntybanThank youI really appreciate the opinion you guys share. Weekly reviews is awesome for us devoted bears fans looking for something to hear about next season. Keep the podcasts coming!
-
breakfastmeatsProductionHub has forgotten more about the Bears organization than most of us will ever know. This podcast is a great outlet for that knowledge. But, please, ditch the cheesy 80’s guitar intro and don’t let your producer play you out when you clearly have more to say...
