Paul Finebaum On 'Painful' Brian Kelly Interviews: 'I'd Rather Have A Colonoscopy'

Paul Finebaum did not hold back when discussing his weekly interviews with former LSU head coach Brian Kelly.

Speaking at Barrett Media’s Audio Summit, Finebaum recalled interviewing Kelly for 20 minutes every Monday during the college football season for three consecutive years.

He described the conversations as so painful that he would “rather have a colonoscopy on the stage right now without anesthesia.”

quote:
“A couple years ago, Nick Saban started doing Pat McAfee every week, so we got a call from LSU and Brian Kelly saying he wanted to do our show every week,” Finebaum said.

“Now I don’t know if any of you know Brian Kelly. Spending 20 minutes with Brian Kelly for three consecutive years every Monday? I think I would rather have a colonoscopy on the stage right now without anesthesia. It’s that painful.”

“So there’s always a trade-off, and we bought it and ended up dying with it,” he joked.

“But then there’s Lane Kiffin,” Finebaum added. “I’ve had a couple of interviews with Lane Kiffin that people say are unlike anything they’ve ever seen, not because he’s really a good interview, but because he’s just so bizarre.”

Paul Finebaum is the most anti-LSU sportscaster in the country. The minute Brian Kelly became head coach of LSU, he was against him. When Lane took the LSU job suddenly his "friend" Paul Finebaum lead the phony fake moral outrage.

Paul is a POS who uses whoever he can at the moment and then shits all of them after. And does that no-talent MF'r think he is a fun interview or host??

Paul didn’t mind taking the free content. He could have discontinued the weekly interviews at any time if they were so painful and onerous.

Brian Kelly at LSU will go down as one of the worst fits in college football history. As an LSU fan, I cringed when I heard the Tigers hired him. I saw him as a soulless, anger-management disaster coach who had no business coaching in the South.

A 20 min interview with Paul and Nick consisted of 18 minutes of Paul sucking Nick's dick and 2 minutes to wipe off after. The other interviews Paw actually had to do work. Fuk that Bald headed weasel.

Not sure which is the main takeaway here:

- BK is stale and boring
OR
- Ole Pawl not-so-secretly likes getting poked

Paul Finebaum is literally and physically a troll. Anyone that takes him more serious than this shame on you

Of course Finebaum would rather have a colonoscopy. He loves them.

Honestly, I'm sure the feeling was mutual, PAWL. Kiffin went from endearing to weird because he chose the better school, too.

I bet BK would rather a colonoscopy also.

People who trust in Finebaum's level of B.S. deserve what they get.

Paul is full of crap. They thought Kelly would surely win a national champoinship, so they wanted to follow the team. When he didn’t have the sucess they thought, there was not so much to talk about. However, the interviews were just fine.

That's honestly pretty low to allow him on your show every week then come back with this here to say how painful he was to interview. You allowed him on your show every week for ratings but then you're going to rip him like this? Not defending BK because I dislike him too, but I never understood why anyone likes this big-eared prick. Since we're on the topic of painful, my ears bleed if I tried to listen to your show Pawl.

Spankum•7 days

Agreed…Paul interviewed him because he thought it would be interesting. Then he turns the tables and insults him.

One of the few positive things BK did was always fricking with finebaum during the interviews. Clearly pawl didnt take kindly to that
