FINEBAUM PLACED ON INJURED RESERVE

Too bad it’s not a detached head.

Who will fill in as Alabama’s SID?

BTW, Matt Jones popped for coke possession.

Finebaum is great. And could be greater. Auburn fans think he’s a Bammer homer and Alabama fans think he’s a Barner homer. (Psst, Little Secret: he’s both).

That would be true if he hadn’t written about 3 dozen felatio columns on The Saban since he arrived in Tuscaloosa.

Dude used to be good. Now, his listeners are 70% UAT daywalkers, and he lets them control the show. To say he’s not in the tank for Bama is to defy reality.

@4

This Aub thinks he’s an opportunist and a profiteer (and God bless him for both).

However, I have had to dial out for about 18 mos now because the Saban suckfest is over the top, even for Finebaum, and doesn’t show any signs of letting up in the near future.

In fairness to either Finebaum or Peter, just about everyone and everything has been called a motherfucker at one time or another on EDSBS Live.

He badmouths Auburn more but never hurts us.
He kisses Bama’s butt but keeps them more in an uproar.

What school did he graduate from again? :-)

I personally like the guy and wish the best.

I heard about that guy in the book “Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer.” Best wishes to his speedy recovery… even if he is a “motherfucker.”

Finebaum isn’t good sports radio for several reasons:

1. Paul doesn’t understand the details of football very well. In other words, he can’t explain to you why certain plays did or did not work.

2. He’s not a strong host. He will rarely drive the show on days when it needs to be driven…which leads to…

3. It’s a caller-driven program. The same generally tired callers provide the same generally tired comments in the same generally tired format. For the most part, they just don’t add much to the show, and Paul doesn’t cut them off quickly enough when they’re clearly in a conversational quagmire.

His columns, once a staple of the sports talk community in Alabama, had become increasingly poorly-written and unabashedly affectionate toward Saban. They were clearly shallow and just what the average fan echoed to all his buddies over a PBR…not the least bit insightful.

I once saw Paul Finebaum scissor-kick Angela Lansbury.

I’m gonna need a context on this “motherfucker” comment. That sounds like great radio.

7,
Funniest thing I’ve read all day.

thanks man

I listen to the show everyday at work and I can say that I enjoy the same guys calling in everyday. I think it’s funny. And Paul’s sarcasm and dry humor goes great with most of the idiots that call in. I hope he gets well.

You probably think Dane Cook’s funny and John Grisham writes great literature, too, don’t you?

And lemme guess: Journey was/is the greatest rock band of all time?

Dane Cook sucks
John Grisham sucks
Journey sucks
Gurn sucks

Finebaum is pretty smart. To have a gig where you “stir the pot” in the one of the most divided football states in the Southeast and make money off of it and do it for 4 hrs a day, thats pure genius. Plus to get paid to point out each teams weaknesses just to piss of the opposing side, thats great too.His checks still get cashed, people still phone in, and its still a train wreck

Journey rocks. So does Jimmy Buffett.

I’d like to thank Warren St. John for helping me know exactly who this douchebag is.

#18. And by southeast you mean Universe.

Get well soon Paul… too bad you can’t read this.

Interestingly, the only Finebaum fans here are Bama daywalkers.

It’s shocking.

Comment #1 summed it up best.

@23:

Now, I’m assuming here, but if “rtider” is an Alabama fan, comment #1 came from a “Bama daywalker.”

#24

And yet, I didn’t say “All finebaum fans are daywalkers,” did I? Or “All bama daywalkers are finebaum fans.”

Go back and read the comments and see if you can detect a pattern on which of his listeners here have good things to say about them.

I have not listened to Finebaum in years. I just got tired of the ignorant callers.

gurn? yeah you, my soft and pretty bitchness… get me another drink… now…

I mean it. Don’t make me drive in your neighborhood…. Again.

Paul has all of you fooled…..
nice guy who acts like a prick for 4 hrs a day…..

the man has won over 250 regional and national awards for his journalistic talents and is knocking down about 500k per year….

yeah he’s a stupid prick alright!

get well soon Paul

Second only to “say it like you wanna fuck a pig.”

#29

Nobody says he’s stupid. I don’t think he’s stupid.

BTW, did his retina get detached when he got poked in the eye, balancing The Saban’s drink on his head?

@28
+100 swigs of whiskey to you sir (but only in your truck!)

Gurn,

Logically, you make a point. I did not know to examine your comment with logic, as most comments on here lack logic but drip with stereotype. See, I just stereotyped your comments with “most comments on here.” I apologize.

But don’t be upset with Finebaum because he dotes on Saban. It’s like an attention-starved child being upset with his father for doting on a brother who doesn’t even ask for it. (Do not try to find logic in that. Just get mad).

Post #12: Paul Finebaum IS an Angela Lansbury wannabe. Only thing is, she could whip his pussy ass. As could Matlock.

I pray for Paul. I pray for him to get hit by a bus.

I do not have a dog in this fight — being wholly apathetic to both Alabama and Auburn — but comment number 31 wins the prize.

HOBBES—- (#35)—— YOU’RE STEALING MY STUFF. EXCEPT IT SHOULD BE A VERY BIG TRUCK.

Well, I like Finebaum and I like Journey. God bless America, and f you if you like Arcade Fire or Coldplay or Donovan Frankfurter, or whatever the hell that fruit’s name is. There is no place on this blog for outright hatred of 80’s arena rock. I think gurn is a soccer playing troll sent to this blog to destroy it.

Finebaum’s show is like the front porch of the old general store, provided that store was in Gadsden, Alabama. The callers are hilarious, though not intentionally. Things went downhill when they kicked Vickers off, though.

I guess PF was a Bama homer when he was ripping UA apart after the Dubose, Fran, Price, and Shula eras, huh? Meanwhile he was blowing Ears and api everyday. Oh, and by the way, the reason he talks UA 70% of the time is because 70% of the calls and 70% of the fans in the state are UA fans. 36-0!!!
