Got to hand it to him, he isn't stupid.


He's had his Pre-Season rankings out for a while. He unveiled Bama at #7 over a month ago.

And yes, it did invoke a rash of calls from upset rednecks. Tim Brando likes Bama about as much as ESPN likes LSU.

Finebaum is a disgrace to his profession, is it possible to be more biased towards one team?

Are you referring to Auburn prior to 2007 or Alabama after 2007? TIA.

So if you don't suck up to Alabama you're a troll? Get the f@#k out of here, not everyone likes the ugly elephant. They will lose one maybe two games this year, mark it.

Lol Bama fans and their radio shows. I've never known a fanbase to be so connected to the world via radio. It's 2013



Yes, we're all big fans of the SEC Rant radio show.

Brando is probably the best person covering the SEC.

Does Phyllis ever still call in anymore? I love her and I don't know how to listen to Finebaum over here in Atlanta.

I read through a couple of pages and was surprised none of the Bammers remembered that Tim Brando was a sports reporter for WAFB in the 80's. That would be the CBS affiliate in Baton Rouge. Way to go Timmy gettin those bammer shorts in a knot!

Wasn't Brando, but the guy at Texas A&M said he'd vote Gurley for Heisman because he was the only RB to run over 100 yards against Alabama. Jeremy Hill did too. Fact. So irritating when people are paid big bucks on TV to know this stuff don't.


I'm guessing the stat that was stated was that of all of the RBs who had rushed for at least 1000 yds last year that played against Bama only one of them rushed for 100 yds against Bama: Gurley. Hill only rushed for about as much as Keith Marshall.

Maybe not, but I've heard this stat kicked around a few times. Maybe the guy from aTm misspoke.

I consider myself to be acutely perceptive and have always thought Brando to be very awkward at any attempts at humor,

so I find it a little deflating that everyone else in the country outside of the state of louisiana has picked up on the same thing.

you're on target, I used to support him because he was a home town boy doing good, he's gotten himself some good jobs, and lost them, regained them, over the years, he's a fricking blow hard, that will offer opinion only if he doesn't think it will come back to bite him, not to mention, an egomaniac

I really think Brando has been very unprofessional concerning his disdain for Bama. If you are a national syndicated sports talk show host at least try and show some sort of objectivity. I also cannot stand his Boise State bullshite and his whole tired, "put that in your BCS pipe and smoke it."

Finebaum is a guy playing a role, Brando lets his homerism cloud into his professional life.

Brando is a 3rd rate radio personality and needs attention grabbing headlines in order to get anyone to care. Most know he is only trolling but enough idiots still listen for him to have a job.


Nah, that's what Finebaum does. He's been playing both Alabama and Auburn's fan bases for years. And yes, plenty of idiots called into his show.

At least good old Timmy branches out and calls college basketball games. He covers everything, not just CFB.

objectivity? there are tons of media guys who loooove them some bama.

But for them objectivity is not an issue of unprofessionalism? shite, even if he is a Bama hater one Bama hater is well out-weighed by the rest

Tim Brando is a clown. Finebaum is a POS troll, but at least he's good at it. Brando is like one of the Rantards that run over here to post what they think is a funny flame.
