Just hearing this worm's never ending shite-stirring or flip flopping in regards to whatever program is struggling or hot in the moment has gotten really old. Must be nice to get paid to either throw gasoline or bouquets of flowers after the obvious, especially at the level that he does after the fact. And what credentials does this Finebaum twerp have to actually call for any coach to be fired or any player to be benched ? Nobody should have a platform to light so many fires ..

You could just not pay attention to him

I hear more about Finebaum cause of people complaining about him than the actual shite he says

If he is on the tv, I turn the channel.

I tuned in last week & the show has become unwatchable. They spent an hour with Mike Greenburg shilling for his book & the rest of the show was about Jim from Tuscaloosa's age. Almost no sports talk at all.

To your point, I did notice Paul was making fun Hugh Freeze when Paul was gushing over the hire last year & talking about how inspiring his character arc has been.

Personally, I don't watch shows that I don't like. Try that.

I agree, but he's on a dozen different shows including the radio. Just an unavoidable nuisance

All the interesting characters from the show are gone now:

Tammy
Charles from Reeltown
Cecil Hurt
Shane from Center Point
Pat Dye
Danny Sheridan
Charles Allen Head
Jim from Crestwood
Conspiracy Kevinator

The callers suck now & most the guests do as well. Just boring radio.

Change the channel. You listen = he gets paid and will be on more.

He used that Vols education to bilk Bama fans for millions.

I’ve listened on and off for the last 22 years. He used to be great and wrote weekly columns that were great. He stirred shite up but the callers were entertaining. The Cam saga ruined his show. ESPN and the Sec network showed up after that and it’s gone to shite. I’ll pick it back up every few years but I believe I’m done for good now. It seems he has turned into the Steven A of the sec. frick him and that.

The best were gone long before that. Phyllis from Mulga, Mildred from Tuscaloosa, B.O.B, Libertee Belle, etc.

Late-90s/early-00s was peak Finebaum. Especially with Neal Vickers as his “co-host.”

Damn I can't believe I forgot Phyllis from Mulga. The show was so fun & entertaining back then. ESPN neutered the best college football show on the air.

Sad.

I didn't know who he was till the rant posted about him and I've never heard him say anything anyone who follows the sec already know.

I don’t like him either and have no clue why he is popular.
