Finebaum ain't so fine

All of us already know this. I don't think his show is as interesting as it used to be since joining ESPN either

you have to realize what he is. he's the "howard stern" of southern sports radio. he allows regular idiot callers in order to stir the pot. he is a very clever man. he knows exactly what he's doing. his fueling of the idiocy gets ratings. he broadcasts a show in the state that contains the dumbest and most obsessive fanbase in cfb. his callers are the equivalent of the in-studio porn stars. he placates to his target audience with constant conversation of auburn/bama. anything he can use to cause debate between the 2 respective fanbases creates callers and listeners. i mean, jesus, how else can he fill 4 hrs with college football talk during the offseason? many devoted secn people will watch his telecast beacuse they have no life to begin with. going with the broadcast and trying to become national has missed its target. other parts of the country have an offseason. their lives dont revolve 24/7 around bama. yes, he is a bama homer. he has press credentials and attends every game. EVERY game.

His show isn't interesting at all. He is a poor talent compared to what they could have done with that show. National media equates his longevity with knowledge and talent. ESPN dropped the ball big time on this when they tapped him for this show. So many other knowledgeable, unbiased,quality sports guys out there such as Tim Brando could have really been fun to watch on the SEC Network.

Never listened to him and never will. The ads for his show during the Herd and SVP are cringe worthy. fricking inbreds calling into that show.

Finebaum is the worst thing to ever be on the radio.

Espn giving him a TV show is so stupid. He is the definition of having a face for radio.

Brando is not quite, how you say, nuetral either. He does not hesitate to rip a Bama caller at any chance. Never misses a chance to toot Camerons horn either when most of America probably doesnt even know who Cam is. I agree, wholeheartedly they IQ points drop listening to Finebaum and I cant stand him. He is shock radio and just rubs me the wrong way. I don't believe for a second Brando is any less biased or worthless to listen to. At least Finebaum is from Memphis and graduated from UT and can fall back on that. Brando is a Louisianan and proudly trumpets LSU's accomplishments far beyond what they have actually accomplished. I believe his homerism became an issue at CBS. I mean, he's doing basketball games from Boise and football games from Pulman Washington. Thats quite a fall.

Often read a lot of negativity here on ole Paul. Before the new SEC Network came along I never saw or heard him even once. But I tried to keep an open mind and I have now watched parts of his show on SEC and have 3 big impressions: 1. The negs on PF are not wrong. 2. He has no love or respect for LSU. 3. He is an absolute Bama/Saban homer, to the degree that I'm surprised the rest of the SEC isn't objecting to ESPN brass or demanding equal time. Honorable Mention: Out of what vile morass does he dredge his callers? They can easily be some of the dumbest of the dumb.

he's the jerry springer of radio. find no interest in his show. Do not see how he's made it so big. alabama must have a huge population. can't imagine people outside of alabama finding interest in his show.

I don't understand how the SEC Network allows this guy to on their network. Yes I did watch only once but I had read about him on this site. First of all he has a face for radio if you know what mean. And it is so obvious that ihe is such a Bama Homer (I know I know I know he is a Tennessee grad) but still. Oh he tries not to be a GUMP but it comes out & is very obvious. And it may be different on other days but the majority of the callers are all GUMPS. So needless to say I do not watch his show. SEC Network must be desparate to give him that much time.
