I will never understand this guy's popularity.

The guy is a genius. he figured out that if he says something to bait the Bama folks, then gives them open phones, he has to do nothing other than sit ther and make fun of them.


Exactly. He is the Jerry Springer of radio.

It has taken me exactly this many posts in this thread to understand what all the complaints were about over the years that Finebaum is a Bama schill. After watching that shite show and then seeing the Bama fans rush to his defense .... I get it now.

My point stands. He'd better pray for increased participation from UGA, UT. SCAR, UF, et al., fans or that show will flop on the new medium.

I suspect ESPN is going to load-him-up with guests, in studio guests, ala Dan Patrick ... and cut as many of the old worn-out idiots as possible in the process.

The show was not entertaining in the least.

He isn't going to flop. His show grows more everyday. It is pure trash. It represents everything that is wrong with college football, but it is also growing more and more. He will troll one group for a while then troll another. He talks up each school just enough to keep the drones listening.

Good gosh I loved listening to that. I had absolutely no idea we sent Bama into that big of a melt after that game.

I honestly don't understand how people listen to his show. I can see listening to it after a bama loss, just for the melt........but on a random weekday? I just don't get it. Of course I was never a Jerry Springer fan.

I can't stand his show. I try every once in a while but, every caller makes me cringe.

Is his show really part of the regular ESPNU lineup now?

THE FREAKING MAN!

CALLER OF THE YEAR!

Dude threatened Charles Barkley and Pat Dye...

Does anyone have a link to the Charles vs. I-Man audio? Pure gold!

Note: he is not a true representation of the Auburn family... neither is Tammy, Bobby from Homewood, Cockfighter, I-Man, etc.

I lived in MO for a while and was happy that SEC talk came to my area, when they put Finebaum on I stopped listening to that station while he was on.

Finebaum actually has some decent guest, and some good insights at times. Sad thing is about 80 percent of his show is stirring up Bama and Auburn against one another, and getting these Tard callers to phone the show.

LOL at all the tinfoil hats who think Paul hires callers.



True dat.
You don't have to go out and hire the Bama retards. They are everywhere.

The only reason Finebaum doesn't cater to Corndogs is he would need an interpreter so English speakers could understand whatever language that is they use.

There is a reason Swamp People uses subtitles.

We may have more of 'em, but it's not like y'all don't have any...in case you've forgotten:

I think that qualifies as crazy...
