You aren't even hitting the biggest issue with his show. When he was doing just radio on the Paul Finebaum show it was a given the Bama and part time Auburn homer-ism on his show. If you listened to the show you knew what to expect so when you actually heard how bias he actually was it didn't surprise anyone. But on a National show like ESPN you are to expect professional journalism and the bias taken out of the conversations as much as possible. Unfortunately you can't get professional journalism out of Finebaum and for that hopefully ESPN replaces him sooner than later.

To me the biggest issue is that his show, 5 days a wk, 4 hrs a day, shown nation wide, has become a recruiting tool for Alabama. Intentionally on his part. I'm not going to repeat all the bama BS he sprouts, we all know it. But consider when an impressionable 17-18 yr old highschool player continuously hears bama this, bama that, saban is the greatest of all time, that can't help but make an impression on recruiting. He may troll a lot, but that part of his agenda is definitely out there, nation wide now. In Oct this past season I heard him say, direct quote: "the 3 national championships that Alabama won were the 3 greatest days in my life". And this is the national spokesman for the SECN.
