How many of you have a legitimate reason to dislike Paul Finebaum?

I think it's become the cool thing on the rant over the past couple of years to hate on Paul.

If you're honest, you recognize that his show is amazing and he has moved up in his industry the right way (through hard work and dedication).

Do you really have a good reason to hate on the best sports radio host in modern history?

I actually don't mind him. I hate those callers, though.

He's a douche and he overreacts to everything?

I used to not like him when Meyer was at UF. But he was 100% right about Meyer so I don't mind him.

Homer fans are gonna hate him because at some point he said something mean about their school.

People who get upset at ANYTHING they hear on talk radio are buffoons.

Pretty much everything they say is designed to rile people up and people take the troll bait.

On the rare occasions I listen to talk radio, particularly sports talk radio, I do so just to laugh at the idiot callers and hear the trolling.

I enjoy his show even if he's a Bama homer. He gives Freeze so much praise

"Hate" is a strong word, but I have no respect for someone who makes disingenuous statements to attract viewers (or listeners), and selects callers on the basis of how outrageous they are. It's a circus.

I didn't care for him when he was ripping on Bama to get us to pay attention to him, and I'm not going to change my opinion just because he's now dickriding Saban for the same reason.

He's a troll. It obviously works great for his show but represents where sports "journalism" is heading. Say or print something outrageous/controversial to get clicks.

That's all sports journalism these days.

ESPN is pretty much nothing but overblown, manufactured fake hype stories and phony narratives.

Me


I called in to make a valid point that contradicted what he had to say, and all he had to say was "uh huh, uh huh, okay thanks we're going to have to let you go".

I think he's great. Hes the Jerry Springer of the SEC, but how is that a bad thing?

I'm indifferent. I knew nothing about him until Updyke, listened a few times when Looch went on there during realignment talk, and have listened to a few Sumlin interviews. Other than that it just isn't entertaining radio. I guess I'm spoiled as I grew up listening to Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket... the absolute greatest sports radio broadcast to ever exist.

He may be a douche but I don't think he overreacts to much.

He gives his callers a wonderful opportunity to though
