Paul Finebaum Takes Unprovoked Shot At Longtime Announcer Gary Danielson
HISTORICAL ARCHIVE, MINIMUM USAGE FEE APPLIES;
Longtime ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum, a big supporter of the SEC, is not happy with what SEC announcer Gary Danielson said about Neyland Stadium this week. Danielson said that Neyland Stadium is “just about the same” as the SEC's other stadiums. Finebaum then went off...
quote:

“There’s kind of an unwritten rule if you’re not so full of hubris and arrogance and think you know everything,” Finebaum said. “It’s not like Gary was stopped at the Atlanta airport and said, “What stadium do you think?” He was being interviewed by a reporter who works in Knoxville for the Knoxville News-Sentinel group and he’s coming to Knoxville. So only Gary could stick his foot in his mouth by not praising the greatest stadium in college football, Neyland Stadium! That’s the part I don’t understand.”

“Next year when he’s doing the Big Ten Saturday afternoon Game of the Week when it’s Minnesota at Purdue, and he’s in a cornfield in West Lafayette, he’s going to have to say, ‘This is like any other Big Ten stadium,'” Finebaum said. “… I may never get over that interview you did with Gary Danielson.”

Paul’s wrong, too, if he thinks Neyland Stadium is the greatest in all of college football.

Paul must know the Alabama decline is real if he’s a Tennessee fan again. It must be 2004.

Paul criticizing Gary as arrogant when Paul is as arrogant as anyone who covers college sports. At least Gary has actual knowledge about football. Paul’s qualifications as analyst are that he hosts a show that depends on a bunch of stupid callers to exist.

Neyland is a dump.

The stadium in and of itself is fine. The problem is that it’s full of 100,000 assholes like finebaum.

So what Paul is saying is you should adjust your replies in an interview based on who is interviewing you, rather than being honest as Gary did. Paul is a fricking bum.

But Gary wasn’t being Honest. It’s no secret he does not like UT and is an Alabama/Saban mouth piece. He knows good and damn well that Neyland isn’t just like any other SEC stadium. Gary called the Alabama and UT game last year and everyone attended or watched it said that atmosphere was the best they have ever see. Players like Will Anderson, and Baker Mayfield have even said Neyland is the loudest place they have ever played at. So for Gary to say it was like the rest was just dumb.

Finebaum is a little bald headed bitch who never played a sport other than pocket pool.

Danielson made so many LSU/BAMA games nearly unwatchable with his Gump cheerleading.
