Finebaum is not a journalist. Or a good interviewer. Or reporter.
What he IS, is an advertisement sales vehicle. Whatever stirs up the most controversy and foments inane discussion to complain about, THAT is what Finebaum tries to do. And he is quite good at it. If you like listening to Finebaum for the crazy caller entertainment value, then have at it. But don't do it thinking you are in any way getting credible or reliable sports information.
And just in case you think Alabama is rife with crazy people because they show up on the Finebaum show, other SEC teams have just about as many, and just about as bad. Finebaum is just more successful at smoking them out of the woodwork.
