He is a master at subtlety and backhanded compliments.

He definitely adds color to the SEC Network.

He interviewed Galloway(sp) recently. After asking him all these questions he ended with "Annnnnd that was Joey Galloway, (almost whispering) with some predictable things to say."

That would have pissed me the frick off But Galloway wasn't very SEC friendly, so Finebaum gave him a little jab.

He's nothing but a bandwagon Alabama fan with a radio show.

I have not watched his show more than fifteen minutes at a time for a total of less than a couple of hours.

Today I heard a call from a Mizzou fan living in San Francisco. He was well spoken, polite and never raised his voice or cursed. But he did believe Mizzou had a chance to win the SECG.

Paul F was very condescending to him, cut him off and said something like.." You should know what you are talking about before you call into a talk show and make a fool of yourself again."

I have never called into a talk show, but probably tried a dozen times, to no avail. I only planned to tell him, how shocked i was at his disrespect to a polite caller. I don't listen much, but have never heard him respond that way to the irrational buffoons that call on regular basis.

I'll be honest. I'd read such bad stuff about Finebaum that when the SEC network started up I was expecting to see this raving Bama homer.

But to be honest, the times I've watched he wasn't really like that. If anything, he seems to be almost embarrassed to be associated with the people who call the show (as well he should be in many cases). Maybe he just has too high of an opinion of himself - like it's all below him, I dunno. But he sometimes seems like he'd rather be doing something else.

Production value of the show is pretty low though.
