Clay Travis will be setting by him in the studio


While Clay is usually a troll when it comes to his writing he is actually pretty good on radio. He is on once a week with the local guy in Memphis I listen to.

I'm just hoping since he will be at an ESPN studio that majority of his time will be filled with guests to get rid of the mouth breathers that call in to his show.

I'm just gonna not watch him. Seems simple enough.

I wouldn't say usually. He definitely is a troll sometimes, but he has been consistently spot on with the SECN and conference re-alignment stuff and isn't afraid to call out the teasips for their castrated cowshit.

ESPN is all about the money. If you want Finebaum gone, change the channel when he's on. They'll get the message very quickly and fire him as soon as he says something offensive.

I have listened to his show a few times over the years. Its about what you expect. I have not watched his show on ESPN yet but I am sure i will catch it one day.

Paul is a shite stirrer. He does a good job at what he does. Like it or not. He does the dirty work.

His show is Jerry Springer. Both these guys will get rich off stirring the masses...

And yes, I will probably read his book.

Yesterday, I put on ESPNu for a minute, not only does he have his normal callers (I heard Phyllis)but half the screen is their mug shot. They believe themselves to be celebraties.

I hate Charles from Reeltown (Auburn fan). Tammy is just strange, grew up in a Bama Family, her children are Bama fans, her Husband is a Bama fan, she just like to pull for Auburn.

I listened for the first time in years last week on the drive home from work.

Some assclown came on and he was breathing really heavy between sentences. I think he believed he was doing a WWE impression

keeper of the spoon.... And the reason he was hired on at ESPN was the very same reason people post out here about him. He draws attention... good or bad. He is a Saban homer first. Then a Bama homer when they are winning. He will ride the jocks of whichever team in the SEC is winning at the time. Food for thought: he dissed Saban and Bama fans when Saban was named coach. His commentaries were down right brutal at times. But then he hitched his wagon and rode the shirttails of Saban to the promised land he now sits in.
You're right. Actually the guy's a Tennessee fan/graduate, but like any successful whore, he'll be anybody's bitch if it helps him get ahead.

and if he is the star of the SEC Network, I wish it would go away. What a bunch of baloney!! If he is the poster boy for the SEC, then all SEC teams should wear overalls & go barefoot. He glamorizes the idiot fans (Updyke, etc) and all the world will think we are all like that


Is that YOU Charles from Reeltown?

He's a Tennessee grad, but not a fan. He's stated numerous times over the years that he was a Memphis basketball and Alabama football fan growing up.

Love him or hate him, he's exactly what ESPN wants for the SEC network so people will tune in to see what he says about your team.

In some sort of weird way he promotes SEC football and if it generates interest than that in some sort of weird way benefits the league.

You know way too much about those fools to only tune in "for a minute."

The notable thing about his callers is his show has a call screener, so the producer is knowingly putting the mouth breathers on the air. If one of the purposes of the SECN is to put the SEC brand out there, then PF's show is part of the brand being put out for nationwide consumption. I've tried 3 times now to see if being on tv would change anything and it has not, so I won't be watching that part of the SECN any more.

Yes, but I am sure it's the other way around. I am sure the minions have the Jims, Legend, that tard from Columbus, GA, and Tammy lined up like chord wood. It's all staged shite to keep ratings up and Pawl just chooses the side that will stir the most debate.
