🏈 Paul Finebaum

[JoshB]

Dude was just on "Outside the Lines" on ESPN and he completely sh*tted on Tennessee and Lane Kiffin. First off he said he was a UT grad and that he lived there for 4 years and just came back from 4 days in L.A. so he can't blame Lane for leaving Tennessee to go to L.A. (ouch). He then started talking about how proud (sarcasm) he was of the Tennessee folks rioting and burning mattresses (he said it was UT's answer to West Virginia's burning couches, double ouch). He then said last year when Hamilton hired Kiffin he was the biggest idiot in college sports and he needs to correct himself, Garrett (USC's head honcho) is now the biggest idiot in college sports. I dont really like Finebaum but I gotta say I was dying. Even the guy from L.A. was crapping all over them and even Bruce Feldman from ESPN.

Its like open season on Tennessee (and USC) right now. Gotta love it.

 

[BamaCore]

Haha, I like Finebaum. You just gotta remember that with him it's more about entertainment and parody.

 

[ElephantStomp]

The callers are the main reason most people listen to the show, as sad as that seems. :lol:

Finebaum also called Kiffin a flat out fraud and everyone knows it.

Lot of people Dont get him or his show.
I listen from 4:30-4:50p.m. on my drive home from work
and your right its entertaining and parody ,but i get pretty much the news of the day in college football good or bad in that time span .
And Finebaum is accurate when it counts.
Its unreal the people he is prevy too and knows personally in the sports industry.

I listen to him when I'm heading over to Montevallo for class( working on an add on masters in administration). It amazes me just how much that man is in the know.

 

[RollTide1980]

For as MANY people who hate his guts...he is rarely wrong.

I love when fans call in and chew him out for breaking some "crazy story" and then 2 months later...he was correct.

Paul has BECOME parody, but he's still a great journalist, and can WRITE with the best of them. I happen to like Paul and respect his opinions.

Finebaum is the OReilly of sports talk....Hes got his chit together.

I have learned the past few years that Paul Finebaum is what makes this state of college football in this state so unique. I am now attending Alabama as a junior, so much of what I hear on Finebaum about the Tide I already had a scoop on anyway, but I still enjoy listening to people make complete fools out of themselves on air. It's much better than most sports shows. And like most said previously, when it comes down to crunch time, he is always on the mark.
