One day after Hub Arkush declared he will not cast his NFL MVP vote for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the veteran Chicago sportswriter admitted that he made a "mistake" in disclosing how he plans to vote to the public.
"I made a big mistake," Arkush said on Chicago's 670 The Score radio station on Wednesday. "As far as what happened last night, it's on me. I screwed up."
Arkush said his error "doesn't have much to do with Aaron Rodgers," but that he "failed to respect" the cardinal rule as one of 50 voters who cast ballots for the Associated Press' annual NFL awards: Don't disclose your voting plans.
