They need to fire that annoying broad Beth Mowens.


They will dig up Walt Disney's corpse and piss on it before they do that.

She's was a DEI hire before it was popular.

Last year showed that we only need a 6-8 team playoff. 12 is just stupid.


12 means more football.

I'll take it.

FSU would have been throttled by any of the playoff teams and it's a shame they didn't make it because in their heads they could have competed.

They have 2 teams with a pulse on their 2024 schedule, they should get to experience reality first hand this year.

Injuries are part of the deal. Not giving up is also supposed to be the mission.....

It's like Finebaum has gone on a rage of offending anybody and everybody. He knows controversy sells - but damn he's starting to look less analyst and more just troller.


Finebaum has always been a troll to everyone except Saban, especially his radio days

Finebaum takes his pot shots at everyone until he needs a real interview so he can kiss the coaches' arse

He's a horrible announcer. He should be fired.

If you've ever had your team's game called by RG3 you need to Thank Finebaum for this.


You are correct sir.

Finebaum is actually a good writer and interviewer, but he gave all of that up to be a professional prick and wrangler of the stupidest fans on planet earth. He is part of what is bad about college football and it's fitting he now works for the worst thing to ever happen to college football.

Unfortunate. RG3 was a breath of fresh air and entertaining while also able to explain what is going on from a football perspective in an intelligent and understandable manner.

Allegedly he was fired for being a cornball brother.

Did they fire him or just not renew his contract because there’s a big difference. Lot’s of professions let contracts lapse and don’t renew for various reasons including cleaning up payroll for a quarter.

He tweeted the scene from Friday where Craig's dad asks Craig "How'd you get fired on your day off?"

Timing is weird since college football is right around the corner. Always appreciated RG3 for not taking himself too seriously and having fun with the broadcasts. May "There's an Orgi in the endzone" and "They are pounding some Beavers" live on.

I mean don’t get me wrong it feels like getting fired when your contract isn’t renewed so keep that in mind. It’s not the same but it still feels that way when you’re on that end of it. If he did get fired I wonder why they got that proactive. Usually jobs like that will let you save face and either quit or let you go during renewals so it’s not a formal firing.

Paul’s show is so embarrassing. One watching this program who didn’t know better would think we SEC fans were all like those drunken, loud mouth jerks he lets call into every show.
The show is a place where you can catch up on what’s happening in the SEC and the interviews with coaches, players and sports analysts are usually good, but I can’t take this program long once the Legends and Jims from Tuscaloosa start calling in. Where does he find these people?

If that happens then thousands of 3 toothed trailer dwellers wouldn't have a use for their phone. Think of the phone manufacturers and cell service providers!

If anybody ever provided ESPN the racist 2 hours of crap Finebaum and Vickers spewed the day Cadillac Williams signed his LOI to play at Auburn, they would likely can him immediately. I couldn't believe he got away with it back then but the political climate today would end him.
