Paul Finebaum is great to listen to as long as you don't hear a word he says. I'd rather watch 24 hours of Barney than that dude. Down by the bay ....

Just don’t listen or watch. I find Finebaum entertaining most times and when it gets too much I turn it off.

But even if I agreed he was bad, networks don’t care if you’re good or bad, only if you get ratings and advertisers. They’ll renew a bad highly rated program before they renew the greatest show of all time if it has low ratings.

As soon as Bama starts losing his viewership will plunge.

Your post is giving exactly what he wants.

This isn't rocket surgery.

Same reason Tony Kornheiser is still employed.

Imagine if Bama hired a PR guy to be the mouth of this conference. That would be Paul Finebaum.

Either that or his wife has/had a long and passionate relationship with an LSU grad.

John Hayes former producer of Finebaum show, had some interesting comments this week about Ed Orgeron and LSU's coaching staff, suggesting that Dave Aranda and Joe Brady are the main reseason for the success this season.

Idiot can’t understand coach O is letting his coaches do what he hired them to do. Remember the words of the late great President Ronald Reagan “there is no limit to what a man can accomplish, if he’s not concerned with who gets the credit”.

Even most Bama fans don't like him. I really believe that the call screener only lets callers on with an IQ of 75 or below.

Yep, its as boring as a Democrat candidate debate.

haha I used to hate him, but he's really just honest. I guess a lot of people don't like that. He would call LSU out for not being as good as us fans wanted to believe and we didn't like it. Looking back, was he ever really wrong? He has nothing but praise for us this year. Dude is honest and I don't have a problem with him. Yes, he can be too much of a Bama rider sometimes but the Bama fans act like he hates Bama..
