His show was actually entertaining when he was in Bham. He could dip into some non sports issues at times. That's important during the dead zone of summer.

I caught his show a couple times recently, and I noticed he did this a lot during the total combined 15-20mins I watched.

Laura is hot but her takes are basic as frick. She gotta go.


All they have to do is drape her long blonde hair across her breasts, flaunt the cleavage, and plenty of people will watch.

Have you seen his show after Finebaum, with Marcus Spears? It's awful! Maybe its because he's young but he has no sense of humor.

Paul just doing the dance. He doesn’t want to move back to B-ham. That would mean he would be off all of espn shows.
He has it in his blood. He will not go back.

Not too far from the truth. You gonna bring in Chris Lowe to face talk for five hours? Watch him and Laura chop it up??

He will get re-signed though.


Possibly. It depends on what he is asking for. ESPN is hemorrhaging money and cutting back where they can.

ESPN is like Walmart, they care more about power than money and they have no real competition.

They care about both. If they didn't care about money, they wouldn't have had those massive layoffs a while back.

Laura is actually pretty irritating to watch sometimes. Paul isn't going anywhere I don't think.

Finebaum clearly wants his show back in Bama so he can make it into the wild west again and get XM to simulcast it... But without the espn platform his name recognition goes away and he becomes lesser known.

They should let him live back l, do his show his way, and bring him out for the sec road show like they do Corso. He's probably also angling for an in-house studio like Herbstreit has so he can do hits on TV.

Jim hates Matt Jones, so I vote for him to replace Finebaum.

I unsuccessfully tried to commit suicide because of Paul finebaum.

Lsu beat bama in 2010 and Paul finebaum’s next show was is saban going to Dallas cowboys. No mention of lsu vs Alabama game, just is nick saban going to Dallas cowboys.

The rumor is that Laura has made sexist remarks toward Paul and groped his ears. He can no longer tolerate working in a hostile work place.


Well if he doesn't want his ears groped then they need to seriously start thinking about expanding the studio space....

Paul’s made his living catering to Bama fan. Puts the worse redneck Auburn fans he can find and gave them a direct line. He is not loved in Charlotte, he is adored by the Bama faithful in Birmingham.
