Finebaum was actually a pretty well respected sports reporter....his radio show doesn't work for me, but it does for a whole bunch of people. And whether we like it or not, he has become one of the go to guys for the national sports media when it concerns the SEC.


I can't listen to his callers anymore - every one of them just grates on my nerves - I do like his interviews though. I just have to turn the shite off when I hear Shane - Iman - Tammy - Charles and the rest of the Fbaum monkeys.

You and I are on the same page. I can't stand his radio show, but to deny that he is plugged in with the know is a fools errand.







I think he's in the know - he gets the scoop on programs. I think the call-in fools are a diversion for his show - that way he can throw in a few hints here and there and it gets lost in all the bullshite with the callers.

FWIW, I have very good reason to believe this will come to pass.

That's the bad thing, he does do a good interview but you have to sit through 3 hours of the mentally deranged to get that 20 minutes of info.

No, his fame came out of the fact that he wrote an article for a ton of years that was read by the whole state.


He attacked both AU and UA when he was with the newspaper. During his early radio show he would attack the program that was the most screwed up at that time. He refused to do commercials on his show out of journalistic integrity. Later he started catering to his sponsors and the bama fanbase. Every now and then he goes after bama, but not for long.

He goes after Bama coaches who aren't doing a good job.

The worst thing about Finebaum is he lets these callers talk and make us all look bad, and we have them on both sides, Bama and Auburn both have our share of the idiots. It was bad enough when he was local, but now that he has a national audience, he loves to make us all look stupid by letting the ones talk that he knows is going to say something off the wall, or want to beat up someone. I respect the passion these fans have, but everyone doesn't understand them like we do, and they make all of us look bad, and he encourages them.
I also hate that he always acts like he knows something, but can't tell it right now, but after something comes out, he always acts like he knew that a long time ago, but wasn't able to tell us.
I just don't believe that's the case. Hell, he knows the name of the unknown soldier but he just can't tell us..............

However, he is not just a local radio hack. Local radio hacks aren't invited on OTL every week.



Does someone still have that picture of Kige being interviewed on ESPN hanging around?

Just listened to the Fbaum comments,,,, basically said since Cam and Cecil are so close (see Cam on ESPN), that Cam must have known... Said Auburn skated the first time, but they could be in trouble. He had no knew information, just more Fbaum BS.

That is so stupid. We all know Cam knew, but it can't be proved, so move on and let it go. Fbaum doesn't need to stir up by brothers on this one and get everyone upset. The NCAA is too weak to do anything, if they weren't they would have done something when they had a chance.......now it's too late, so let it go.

The fact of the matter is, he usually knows about most of this shite way before the masses. He knows everyone, and they tell him stuff, and the reason they tell him stuff is because he keeps his mouth shut on the air like you are saying, but he will be the first to fill the gaps in someones story for them if he has the goods for them.

He has made his name, he no longer needs to be the guy breaking the news. He just sits back and rakes in the money from his radio show and laughs all the way to the bank.
