This has bothered me for years now and I am wondering if it gets under anybody else's skin as well.. When Paul Finebaum is featured on ESPN talking about games or anything else they have him listed as a college football analyst.. I know ESPN is pretty much now just a sports version of CNN spreading fake news but come on!!! I guess in todays society you can identify as whatever you want, but come on now.. I have never once heard Finebaum break down a play, tell me a coverage, he knows nothing about the X's and O's of the game and he is a analyst?? He is simply the Jerry Springer of college football, the callers of his show are the reason ESPN has given him large multi-year contracts.. He talks down on the very people that got him to where he is today, there is one thing he does that ESPN requires of all their employees.. He is a liberal snowflake, that has no problem pushing the fake news narrative!!

Bammers made him popular.

He’d be a nobody without them.

Lots of sports "talking heads" have absolutely no idea how the games truly break down. Doesn't stop them from spouting inane opinions on the game *cough* Colin Cowherd *cough*

I would not call Finebaum a football analyst but rather a football observer, primarily of the Southeastern Conference.

Most of the people writing or talking about college football I would call observers rather than analysts. Finebaum's opinion is as valid as theirs.

I like to hear most of his guests but these idiot callers cause me to turn the channel faster than anything else. Some of them seem to be working with a fifth grade education and their knowledge of the game reflects that.

finebomb is a media whore who says what he thinks will inflame on one hand and impress on the other.

There are no qualifications for being an “analyst”

The person who you really should be pissed at is the one that ties you to a chair and makes you watch.

Finebaum has the talent to do real sports journalism. Instead he has gone the Jerry Springer route just for ratings. Show is beneath me, but could be so much better.

Little children and old philistines have the Paul Finebaum lunacy for their fun and laughter. The price we pay for being sports fans (particularly Auburn fans) is that we must tolerate their unstinted pleasures in a game that defines their self-worth and personal dignity. WDE

I listened briefly the other day and majority of the callers are 60+ year old rednecks calling to praise and flirt with Paul. Then they go into a long winded personal story about how they cut Paul Bear Bryant’s cousin’s yard one time.

The rest are the usual callers that do their pro wrestling bits and brag about how they really “bring it.”

It’s awful.

it was so funny the few times in 2019 when I saw him on the SEC-Network ,Gameday,etc when LSU was on its run. The man,forwhatever reason, has always hated LSU. When LSU would come up on the show he looked like some poor hostage being forced to denounce his country. "LSU is a very good team," blank face,no expression." "Joe Burrow is a good QB." blank face,no expression.

Now he is back to what a terrible program LSU is how overrated it is historically.

Can't believe we all agree on this. Finebaum is a Bama but kisser, and most of his callers are Bama idiots.

He spreads false narratives as much as he can. But really only if they support Bama.

Occassionally, he has some good guests and some good points. But most of the time he is pushing false narratives, and his "paid callers" are just jibberish.

The show is fake. The paid callers have their scripts. Finebaum's narratives are typically biased. Its the old WWE.

Why would anyone listen to Finebaum or watch ESPN?
