In 2003, Wolf publicly criticized a sportscasting rival at WMAQ-TV for wearing a Chicago Bears logo shirt while covering Bears' pre-season games, suggesting that the move undermined the rival's credibility. A year later, however, Wolf himself wore a Chicago Cubs hat and jacket, along with WFLD colleague Tamron Hall, while covering the Cubs' opening day festivities. In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Wolf labeled his Cubs-related action was "hypocrisy," and combined a line from the movie "Caddyshack" with a quotation from the 17th-century French writer François de La Rochefoucauld in elaborating further: "But as La Rochefoucauld said: 'Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue.' So I've got that going for me, which is nice."
