Does anyone here consider Finebaum a real authority on SEC football?

I'm sorry but I don't. ESPN seems to value his opinions a lot but personally I feel he is really only interested in controversy like "which coach is on the hot seat", "the grandeur of Nick Saban", "which QB should be playing" etc. I kinda doubts he even watches much football. Even though he passes himself off a big Alabama fan, I really don't think he could even name over 5 or 6 players on Alabama's team. Am I wrong on this?

I think he's worth listening to in the car on my drive home. He knows more about football than most of his callers. Many of his guests know a lot more. For example, I'm watching his show on tv at this minute. The guest is a DGD and is very knowledgeable, Matt Stinchcomb. Guys like him make the show.

To say nothing of a Florida graduate who was also Miss Florida. And, oh, she does know a lot about football, Laura Rutledge.

Go, Dawgs!

Agreed. It makes my 1 hour commute bearable. It's either him or Aaron on sec network. Sometimes ESPN u is ok but it's mostly a big 10 push there. Do I consider him an expert, no, he's a pretty good host though. I would imagine his show was quite different before it went national.

I think he could name more than 5-6 players on bama’s team

I love the PF Show.

Having spent some years in Birmingham as an undergrad studying lit before they had a football program, I got an earful of Bama BS which included, of course, that self-aggrandizing moron. No, he isn't an expert. He thinks he's witty and insightful, but he more like a guy that gives you toilet paper in an outhouse and expects a tip.

Paul isn't the expert or opinion - The callers and guests are...Paul gives you access to those people. Regardless, I think Paul Finebaum probably knows a little bit about college football, and probably more than most of the ppl here saying he's ignorant.

Wait a minute, we're all experts aren't we?

Yeah, and Paul Finebaum doesn't know anything.

kelly_b

No, I really don't think he's an expert. He makes a living off of making fun of low-hanging fruit.

Oh yeah he's almighty smug and arrogant alright. But I still enjoy the show. After all, it (College Football) is SHOW BUSINESS.

His redneck-ass callers make his show entertaining and he caught magic in a bottle while on Birmingham radio when he discovered that he could be, Jerry Springer of alabama. It worked. Since going to tv, he talks too much and tries to make it about him and ole nikki. He's so obsessed with Saban that you'd think they park down by the duck pond every Friday night scheming strategies for Saturday, or doing something else.

Don’t consider him no more a football expert than the folks on the forum here.

I recommend upgrading the radio in your car to something that lets you connect wirelessly to your phone and play anything you want to from your phone. There are a lot of junk podcasts out there, but there are also some really good ones, it’s just hard to find them because there are so many more junk ones.

DawgNation’s own BA does an excellent podcast called DawgNation Daily.

Pioneer has a whole line of car radios that are very popular which supports both Android Auto and Wireless CarPlay. Make sure to get Wireless CarPlay and not just CarPlay. Most people buying a new car don’t have Wireless CarPlay as an option. But since you’d be buying aftermarket, you do.

And with one of these upgraded Pioneer radios, you could even do things like display a mapping app on the radio screen and it will do turn by turn navigation for you, etc..

Why assume I don't have that?

I still don’t understand why Kirby or our players weren’t on his show during media days. First time in ATL, SEC Champs, & Kirby was on other outlets. Seems planned or UGA is blowing him off cause Kirby knows how close he is to Bama

Damnit, I just re-read your post, I responded to the wrong person. Someone above was saying he only had two options, Finebaum or the SEC Network. That response was meant for him.
