A golf nap feels fitful compared to the Z’s I can get watching that dude. Awful.

Paul is an excellent interviewer. He does not shy away from tough questions and presses everyone no matter how big (Saban) or small (Harsin).

What I cannot stomach longer than 2 minutes are the callers who just want to hear themselves talk. This site is where I get my fill for the voiceless.


Even though Charles from Reeltown was an absolute gem of a caller:

That's what I figured, but I thought they'd at least screen some new calls to see how insane the randos could be

Really refined my accent and shite-talking for that


They probably do, especially if they can't get one of the regulars on.

It's pretty common with radio shows.

I have never watched Finebaum. The only time I ever see him is on halftime shows on Saturdays.

I don't really have anything against him, but he has very little substance to him.

I watch it. I bring my kids in to listen and say if your bringing home anyone that sounds like any of these people, think again. Or at least think very hard.

It’s a very good representation of redneck hickdom.

Frankly, it’s extremely good entertainment for the rest of the country to listen to. It’s sort of like Horders. Everyone watches just to say “thank God, I am not them”.

Finebaum free for at least a decade.

You answered your own question.

Is he awful? Of course he is, but which talking head isn’t?


I don't understand why anyone would watch 'awful' television. I don't watch any of the sports talk shows on television, and I especially don't watch ESPN unless there is a game on that I want to watch. The network is trash, their opinions are trash, and I refuse to watch.

When Vickers was no longer on, that’s when his show turned to shite.
He went to the funniest show on radio to a wannabe hot shot on tv.
No longer worth watching.

Peak finebaum was about 10 years ago when he aired on Sirius XM and just had people cussing and hollering for 4 hours. It’s still the same way, but I feel like it’s rated PG since moving to television

I was a loyal listener when he was in Birmingham. I only listen to his show now if it's a big story like the day after Jimbo and Saban or the Auburn coach and his pretty little lady.

I used to listen fairly regularly. Loved it when he was killing Shula. Fun during the early Saban years and when Tubbs got run out of Auburn. Not so much lately. Have never watched.

Shoutout to Robert in Waterloo. RIP.

Last time I saw him on TV was in Feb at a bar in Austin. Before that, maybe 2018?
