This guys should be looked into. Let’s hope he comes to LSU with his shi$$y game day crew
the funny thing is he is a big opponent of Lane and will trash him every chance he gets but then when he interviews Lane, he tries to be his friend. It all comes off as awkward because you can tell they don't like each other.

I don't know why any of these coaches even give that boring loser interviews. He is all nice in their face (like he was when BK was on there each week, win or lose) but then trashes them the second he is not interviewing them.

He hates LSU because LSU has Lane Kiffin and Bama doesn't.



He loves LSU and Kiffin because they are bolstering his ratings.

Most of his show is geared toward stirring up the lowest common denominator fans. He does a good job of that. It's part of the game he plays.

And Kiffin will go on his show if asked. Because he knows how to play the game as well as Finebaum does.

This is the first coach we have had that I feel can pull off any media environment they throw at him. And I'm all for that.

Finebaum is killing


The only thing Finebaum can kill is your eyes, if the sun reflects off his bald shiny head.

Finebaum is following the company line, and at the same time driving his popularity up. Like it or not, he gets everyone to make LSU the villain, then he strokes them by bashing them like he’s doing.

Letting him upset you is letting him and the media manipulate you. You are watching the sports version of CNN. He’s not important enough to harm the monster brand that is LSU.

Honest to God, if you're below the age of 65, I have no idea why someone would want to listen to Finebaum.

I hate that ESPN turned his shitty show into some authoritative opinion on the SEC.

Yes, you do, now grow up, not everybody is going to like or respect you. If you keep whining, you'll guarantee the lack of respect.

I watched after Alabama lost to Vanderbilt. Other than that…..
The bald twig got fired from two jobs in Louisiana (thankfully) and he deserves to be where he is.

Excellent post. I find Finebaum entertaining in small doses. When he decides to seriously discuss a topic, I find he is usually pretty good. But that is not the bulk of his format, so
