Bub’s Pub returns with Brennen Roberts for a wide-ranging sports lap that starts with the Bears steamrolling the Jets and quickly turns toward the main event: Packer Week. The crew revisits last week’s Red Rooster stop and an all-time Illini basketball draft, marvels at Chicago’s ball-control clinic, surveys a lively college-football slate, checks in on Chicago baseball, and still finds room for a quarterback-bust quiz and the usual collection of wonderfully unexpected detours. In short: plenty of stats, plenty of opinions, and absolutely no shortage of material for friendly arguments.

With talk of a White House accord and a coordinating task force, it sounds a little like a superhero team-up—only with more computing power and considerably more paperwork.
