I watch it and LSU fans used to call all the time. Why? LSU fans actually had a reason to call and now you rarely hear from us. Just shows there is not much hope and not much to brag about.

They pay him anything over Five Dollars is Too much. I don't understand how he has that job.

He only has that job because Bama is winning. He needs to give Saban a big thank you for helping him get that job. He is a nut job and couldn't believe it when they gave him the job. 15 years ago before Saban at BAMA, he would never have that job. He may have went to Tennessee, but he has embraced the Alabama crimson. His callers are 95% Bama fans and ESPN doesn't care that they are alienating their audience.

His callers are the alleged attraction, much like Jerry Springer's audience is. And he's admitted numerous times, most recently a few mths ago, that he's met with his regulars off the air & "discussed ways to make his callers more exciting". It's all scripted. The local ESPN radio affiliate dropped his show early on in its initial season because of such poor ratings. FWIW: He said on air that the 3 NC's that bama won were the 3 greatest days of his life.

I don't watch him. He's boring as heck and I seriously doubt if he knows anything about anything.

If the guy annoys you I suggest you simply tune him out.

Agree. I watched twice and it stinks. Never tuned in again. It’s like a car wreck for ESPN. Don’t care which decade we’re in people will slow down to look. Stupid is as stupid does.

He accomplished exactly what his show is about. He has you talking about him on an SEC message board.

I laugh every time I see someone on here claim he’s a Gump, considering where he went to school.

His charm and superior breeding. Like all of Alabama. Top Quality.

There is way more stupid shite said on this board compared to the Finbaum Show and his outrageous callers.

I don't care what they pay him, but you couldn't pay me enough to watch it

This is not journalism


It doesn't pretend to be journalism. It's an opinionated talk show meant to entertain. Obviously, you hate it, but plenty of SEC fans must enjoy it if it's been on the air this long.

Now you're starting to sound like Paul's regular callers.

I've got a really good solution for the OP. I wonder if he can figure it out.

Don’t know but it was must see (hear) radio during the Scam Newton saga. That was epic.
