The guy in the very top right corner is wearing an LSU shirt. He's the only one.

I agree with you. I was on the way to vacation for a week and grabbed it up. Impulse purchase.

Oh, I don't doubt it.
And that's how his publishers shoulda marketed it--in airport bookstores, back in May.

So what does that mean?


The SEC is the greatest thing ever. Except for Alabama. Except for Nick Saban.... bla bla bla


Auburn is a bottom dweller.

Talks about Auburns "Recent cheating scandals". Not sure what he meant but never mentions Bama being on probation for cheating most of the past two decades..

I'm going to buy it and read it. I used to hate Finebaum (and still do to an extent) but his show is entertaining and he knows what he's talking about.

He does not try and sugar coat his past or rise to fame. He basically says numerous times that he really had no talent. Just a big stick to stir with.

I have read a lot of sports books. Chiziks, Tebows, 3 of Bobby Bowdens. Its a decent read and won't take long to finish

You act like there is some temptation involved. This isn't 50 shades of gray dude, nobody wants to read PF's shitty book.

Also, I did hear a quote from the book that Finebaum called Spurrier to check interest in the Bama HC job before they hired Saban. I didn't know he was so directly involved in the program


Finebaum talks to Phyllis from Mulga too but I doubt Bama gives much of a damn.

Haven't read it. Not sure I'd be interested, but I've seen mostly positive things about it.

I think people are just not willing to get Finebaum a chance. Running his show the way he does is just a gimmick.

I think it is sort of similar to people not giving Bleacher Report a chance. It's gotten better, yet no one wants to change their preconceived opinions.

Well I think some people know his show is a gimmick, but they just don't want to support a guy who trolls for a living.

I think PF is great at what he does, but I can't say I want him to become more prominent in the sports world than he is.

I am embarrassed that an Auburn fan would read this POS.

I hope you didn't pay money for it.

I would ask this same question as well. My guess is, his connection to Alabama and Saban.

Plus the press that his show has. Good and Bad


I think we should have someone more reputable as the face of the SEC. Someone with more solid credentials.
