(a) I don't like the guy, and it doesn't have anything to do with Alabama football. (b) I'm not sure what happened to him.....maybe someone peed in his Wheaties, when he was traveling through the state.

But I have never seen, or heard anyone who is more consistently negative toward anything to do with the Tide. He is on record as preferring Kyleer Murray for the Heisman. I don't necessarily disagree with his opinion (the Heisman is a beauty contest at the end of the day), but I could have predicted his conclusion back in August.

What I don't get is the Fox Network's penchant to keep him on the air. He is purely a disagreeable individual. If he is talking about Notre Dame, it ticks me off. There are a lot of guys who could serve the same function, and not rub everyone the wrong way.

Ha. And I had just finished a Skip post on the "World's Dumbest Sportswriter" thread, for a completely unrelated reason.

Great minds and all that.

He destroyed the old Southwest Conference.

Fox has kind of gone anti ESPN in everything.

If ESPN likes the SEC, Fox hates it. Klatt has been campaigning against the SEC for weeks, saying they have inflated records (probably true) and that having 8 of the top 25 is a joke due to those records.

You just answered you own question. You made a thread about him and that is their point. You are creating buzz for him and his show.

He's got a job to do....and he's doing it. Just like "good guy" and "bad guy" wrestlers.

I do not watch any show he is on. I have seen him a few times on You-Tube, find that he is an idiot (despite being a Vanderbilt Graduate), and he never even played sports (I think)...

He is just a talking head, that evidently likes the sound of his own voice. Turn the channel if he shows up....

I haven't seen or heard him since he moved to Fox. If you don't like him, do as I did and just quit watching the dumbass.

He's an Oklahoma fan.

He's no worse than Stephen A. Smith, either. They could easily be my two least favorite sports TV personalities...

Media/Sports news in current times is more about being a personality than being a reporter/giving news. Step one is piss off large demographic.

The best thing to happen to Finebaum was success in the SEC. He didnt make the big bucks until he had entire conferences of fans pissed off and hate listening to his broadcast

I don’t care if he’s pro-SEC or anti-SEC, he’s still a straight clown.
