Everyone hates him. Guy is troll, that just lets the dumbest people call in to his show. Granted what do you expect from a Tennessee fan

The people calling in are either 1. Trash people that worship the guy or 2. People trolling the trash people that worship the guy

His job is to piss people off and he knows it and most people know it.

Wasn’t he supposed to get his own sitcom? What ever happened with that?

They already have your viewership, these guys are there to attract another type of viewer.

What's funny is college football allowed guys like him to pick its champion

I can understand why people don’t like him because of his character/show but I’ve met him and he was actually a really nice guy.

Finebaum is great...it sucks when he is making fun of your team, but otherwise, I find his show great when I get to listen to it.

I used to read his column in the paper back when I went to Grad school at UAB. Funny is in used hammer Bama. Amazed at how big he has become. And he makes some pretty good observations.
Last week "What's the difference between Jimbo and Gus Malzahn? Jamis Winston

Finebaum is what he is. Can’t stand him, but for me, Marty smith is as bad as they come. When the bubba noose thing happened a few years back, the tears that guy put out on camera was sick. Take him and his Jordan’s and send him to mars. He’s truly awful.

Finebaum is pretty bad. He’s basically the SEC version of Skip Bayless. He just says whatever to rustle jimmies and get clicks

A few yrs back he admitted that he used to meet certain callers off radio to script their calls. He is the consummate shite stirrer. And the term "bandwagon fan" was created just for him.

I just like that SEC Football has a home on a National level every day of the week.

Everyday from 2-6pm this guy talks about SEC Football and he was doing it when no one else did.

I don’t necessarily like him, but I love the format that he created.

If you live in BR, you have no use for Finebaum. But before internet streaming existed in (or was worth a damn) and if you didn’t live in BR, this guy’s show was an amazing concept.

Life is terrific without espn radio

They appeal to the lowest common denominator

Ban them from your life. It’ll be better

I would listen to 2 hours of Finebaum before I would listen to 2 minutes of Skippy and Steven A.
