and if he is the star of the SEC Network, I wish it would go away. What a bunch of baloney!! If he is the poster boy for the SEC, then all SEC teams should wear overalls & go barefoot. He glamorizes the idiot fans (Updyke, etc) and all the world will think we are all like that

This is true. See the 30 for 30 on the iron bowl that reduced the great rivalry to little more than idiots yelling back and forth on the radio and then poisoning trees.

I made a similar comment on his syndicated radio show on XM, and they spent the next half hour twanging about how stupid I am. I have no interest in listening to the unwashed rednecks spout off in public. No good comes of it, and I just get frustrated.

OK you don't like Pawlllll matter of fact you hate him BUT that jump to wishing the SEC Network to go away is a huge jump.

Finebaum is the SEC's #1 fan and he looks like the spawn of a Jewish bridge-troll that had sex with a talking penis.

When you mix his interactions with inbred mouthbreathers that are most likely morbidly obese and severely uneducated, well by gawd you have the recipe for making the SEC even more hated than it already is.

And that, my friends, is a good thing.

tbh, the summer/offseason shite with him is unbearable because he just pits the most outrageous people together and has them fight. During the season when they actually try and get some good guests and all I enjoy hearing some of the interviews. he does.

I listened to it for a couple hours the other day when I borrowed a car and didn't have any good music options and it was horrible.

Yeah, I've watched a couple times and it's cringeworthy. The extremist alabama rednecks that call that show are not who you want to represent the SEC fanbase nationally.

He's now on 790AM in Atlanta 3-7PM. Its fricking awful. Finebaum himself isnt so bad but the freaking morons who he lets just take over the show are terrible. Seriously its like the radio version of Jerry Springer.

His show is funny as shite and is a perfect representation of all SEC fans. The only halfway educated people that call in represent the Big10.

How is it that you are an Auburn fan and you are just now realizing this about Finebaum?

If you love Alabama, then you will love Finebaum. For those other SEC schools, who beat Bama about once every 5-10 years (if you are lucky) just wait for your miracle game to finally happen. He and his callers will drag your fanbase through the mud for the next three years. Of course, 80% of you will never beat Bama again in your lifetime so what difference does it make anyway. So Enjoy!

He is the one thing thing that is preventing me from getting overly-excited about the SEC Network. He knows little about actual football....just general topics from a macro-level.

I know it's popular to say he's a Bama homer, but he does it only because he knows what drives his ratings. He'll ride that wave until it crests. When Shula was here, he loved to trash UA.

The sooner that clown is gone from college football, the better the sport will be.

I hope ESPN has a way of measuring where the viewers are who watch him on the SEC network. I doubt there will be much viewership outside of Alabama. He's a hack with zero credibility.

ESPN is all about the money. If you want Finebaum gone, change the channel when he's on. They'll get the message very quickly and fire him as soon as he says something offensive.
