How any of you listen to this idiot and his ridiculously ignorant fan base/callers is so far beyond my comprehension it makes my head spin.

And yes, I understand some of you like it for "entertainment" but he is the Perez Hilton (TMZ) of the sports world. I can't stand to hear stupidity of that degree. I have tried to be entertained by it but it's just boring and the exact same rednecks calling in everyday saying the same goddamn thing everyday. I just don't get it.

And no, I'm not mad. You have to care to be mad.

Do everyone in the nation a favor and do not tune in and feed the troll.

He had a hell of a show when he was on WERC and it continued to be good for a while on WJOX but it went downhill about a year after that move and never stopped plummeting.

He really is one of the best interviewers in sports radio. He lets the people he interviews actually answer questions and elaborate instead of making the interview about how smart he is and how much shock value he can bring. Granted, he does bust out the shock and awe on occasion but its not like anyone really cares about a serious interview with Danny Sheridan anyway.

It really is a shame what he let his show become. It's not worth the goop I wipe off my shoes after coming in from the rain anymore.

Yeah I remember hearing some of his interviews back in the day and thought it was decent because as you said, he did let the person say what they wanted without interruption.

He really is. I used to listen to podcasts of his interviews and ignored the rest of his show. He always asks probing questions and gets to the point without being a dick.

Exactly. The only time I turn him on anymore is if there is breaking news or I know he is having a good guest on because I know 2 things. He stays on top of breaking stuff and usually can get people close to the situation on the air to talk about it and his guest interviews are going to be top quality. The moment he starts taking general topic calls, I turn the station.

Not mad ( at the show change ) because I rarely listened anyway.)

Kind of peod that Finebaum is acting high and mighty when the tards call in now, going like Uhhhhhhh , when these same tards have always been welcomed , even thrust forth as center stage material, but now they aren't “ really” wanted.

He should have been honest , THIS SHOW will be on the SEC network and we have one year to ween you clowns off the teet , cause the SEC , WILL NOT have you crazies on THEIR NETWORK.



Why not tell the truth , ESPN and SEC network does not fit in with P.F. old radio style.

The reason I won't listen is, I really don't like talk radio that much , but I love entertainment , I will gawk at the wrecked cars , I can't lie.

I think the word "pecker wood," was used a lot on the show at one point. I think that word is a reference to white trash right?
