The show is garbage but what else is 104.9 going to play from 8-midnight on weeknights that gets that kind of reaction and talk from the Baton Rouge audience? That's the reason they put it on in the first place. Nothing else will get close to the pub Finebaum gave the station from 8-midnight.



They probably have to pay to air the Finebaum show and are getting little return for it, since they already pay for ESPN programming it's likely cheaper just to air whatever is on in that slot

No difference between Gumps and Lumps. (LSU version of a Gump) Ignorant, uneducated, blind worshippers & idolizers of their chosen school.........

If I owned a business in the area where that station operates, I would buy a shitload of ads from them and let them know it was specifically because they dropped that clown.

This kind of consensus on the Rant is un-fricking-precedented

Huh? They easily get the bests guests on their show that offer actual insight. But listening to Matt giggle through weekly segments with Condon and Feinswog is great stuff.

And when Matt does actually get a big guest on he is perhaps the worst interviewer ever.

I just wanted to comment on the hilarious fact that to this point there hasn't been a single down vote. With all the disagreements on this board the one thing we're unanimous on is our hatred of Paul.

And TBH I don't HATE him, but if you do you'll get no argument from me.

I don't understand how it's still a show. I've tried listening to it, it's the most boring show ever.

You have this backwards. AFR is about as unlistenable as Slimebum.

the Gary bit on AFR is very Finebaum-ish...not to mention dumb.

That's redundant.

The Gary thing went overboard weeks ago, and they are still drilling it. Yesterday it was real bad. Heard about it in the morning, on my way to lunch, and when leaving work. I guess they win though because I listened every time I got in the car

I've mentioned it on here before. But he's only able to talk about Alabama, Auburn & Tennessee football. Once he steps outside of that area. He tends to not say much and tries to dumb down the conversation.


This.

I used to try to listen to his old show on his old network (I'm talking 2009 and 2010) and it was unbelievable how little he knew of SEC football outside of Bama, Auburn and partially Tennessee. I'd argue that he only slightly knows about Tennessee due to the fact that he went there and because of the TSIO rivalry.

Other than that, the guy has absolutely no clue about any school outside of those three, and no grasp whatsoever of non-football sports. However, like someone said, SEC fans as a collective aren't as easily trollable as Alabamans.

I don't care about his trolling, but the fact that he provides no content and let's retarded callers drive his content is just lazy.
