An older caller, not from Alabama, called in a few wks ago to complain about everything that has been noted here. But he especially knocked the Jerry Springer aspect of the show's callers. Finebaum acted like he cared, but when he flipped the conversation over to his 2 producers, they both smirked & said, openly laughing, that they thought the callers were funny. Finebaum then added " and so we will keep taking their calls".Point is, all ESPN cares about is ratings, and apparently, the J.Springer dynamic is bringing in good ratings. And his show is caller driven only to the extent the callers usually follow up on one of his rants, especially his bama rants. In comparing SEC coaches, Finebaum opened with "we all know Saban has retired that trophy, so we're talking about second place".
