Finebaum on ESPN Radio / CFB Podcast, "I'm genuinely happy for Jim Harbaugh"
Interesting listen. Sounds genuine and contrite. "Absolute masterpiece on the board yesterday". Oh Pete. Jumping on the bandwagon now? Sorry, not enough room!

Eff off!
Cue the Zak Zinter tweet from yesterday.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:46 PM ^
Tell him to eat a bag of dicks
November 28th, 2021 at 3:48 PM ^
More Pete "he shut up everyone up in the country, including myself".
Hahahahaha Pete! Pete where is your brave bold prediction now?
November 28th, 2021 at 3:47 PM ^
Yeah, screw him!

[EDIT: but it would help if you indicated WHERE he spoke about Harbaugh on the 40-minute recording.]
November 28th, 2021 at 3:55 PM ^
Thanks.
And it is in the first 8 plus minutes.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:58 PM ^
I just listened, it is at the 2:21 mark. But honestly, mind as well start from the beginning.
Edit: Now about 10 minutes in, and this was a delicious podcast. Highly recommended. Finebaum eats it all. Credits the committee for putting us ahead of MSU right away and being completely correct.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:50 PM ^
Finebaum mocked and ridiculed Harbaugh, Michigan football players, and football fans for years while on his knees praising Ohio State and SEC teams.
No thinking person respects his opinion. Especially if he seems "genuine and contrite", which in the context of Finebaum should always have sarcastic quotes around it.
He is a certified article genuine POS because his intentionally inaccurate takes and lousy sports journalism make ESPN an ever worse embarrassment than it already is.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:50 PM ^
Screw off you jackass.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:52 PM ^
Lincoln Riley to USC per the twitter
November 28th, 2021 at 4:00 PM ^
That's a hell of a smoke job by his agent. On the other hand, he didn't get a raise from the LSU rumors, so why not try USC.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:09 PM ^
This will be a problem soon enough
November 28th, 2021 at 3:52 PM ^
I'm genuinely curious about this... why does anyone give a hot damn what Paul Finebaum thinks?
He's just some radio guy who is paid to talk about and promote the SEC content on the ESPN networks, specifically the SEC Network. It's not like anyone knew or cared about him before. He's not interesting, he doesn't say particularly smart things. He knowingly, and admittedly, just "creates content". He's got three? four? hours of air time a day to fill, which means that he has to spend hours and hours a week just shoveling shit as a job. There's no room for well rationed think there. He's a volume talker. He's the Monte Ellis of saying dumb shit to entertain SEC fans.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:53 PM ^
And just to clarify: Pete's apology and Harbaugh / Michigan discussion happens in first 8 minutes.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:53 PM ^
Little pecker head. Fuk him.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:57 PM ^
Pete is the Alex Jones of college football. Ignore him and he will spiral downward into his delusional black hole.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:11 PM ^
+1 for Alex Jones
November 28th, 2021 at 3:59 PM ^
Fuck that fucking fuck.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:59 PM ^
Go to hell. Take your drunk followers with you
November 28th, 2021 at 4:01 PM ^
Sure Paul. Sure.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:01 PM ^
He's an assclown, but an assclown with a big media voice. Better to have him belatedly on the bandwagon than not.
November 28th, 2021 at 9:42 PM ^
Why do we need him?
For ratings? For rankings? For wins?
We did just fine on those things this year without his blessing.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:03 PM ^
Fuck you, Pete. Penis-headed son of a bitch.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:04 PM ^
Guy is a complete moron and attention whore.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:07 PM ^
Get fucked, Pete
November 28th, 2021 at 4:08 PM ^
DIAFA.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:14 PM ^
STFU, Pete Finebaum. Go back to hugging and kissing your Nick Saban posters.
A*sholes in the media eating crow does nothing for me. If you want me to feel good, retire.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:22 PM ^
I forgot that Finebaum was still alive.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:23 PM ^
Finebaum is a penis head. Fuck that dude and his constant criticism on harbaugh/Michigan
November 28th, 2021 at 4:28 PM ^
Finebaum went to church where the sermon said that after years of oppression at the hands of the Great Evil, the Michigan Offensive Line, aka Moses, parted the Red Sea for Haskins to steamroll Buckeye safeties on his way to the promise land on 5 occasions.
November 28th, 2021 at 8:59 PM ^
and all God's people said, 'Amen!'
November 28th, 2021 at 4:31 PM ^
I’m not even gonna apologize for saying that Finebaum can go suck a Costco Family pack of industrial strength dicks. Eat crow, you shitbag.
November 28th, 2021 at 7:30 PM ^
Plus 1 for creativity to you sir.
November 28th, 2021 at 7:43 PM ^
No way. Members Mark or Great Value dicks for him.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:37 PM ^
Well what else could he say but recognize the FACTS. The well-coached, well-played BIG game is HISTORY and cannot be denied. Is there some other rational take?
I don't give people much credit for stating the obvious.
Yes, it was nice that his following heard some nice things about Harbaugh and Michigan but there has been so much bias against Michigan that a little nugget of truth doesn't do much for me.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:53 PM ^
Go suck a fat, hairy one Pete. No one wants to hear from you.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:54 PM ^
What a bum that guy is.
November 28th, 2021 at 5:00 PM ^
Fuck, Pete Finebaum.
November 28th, 2021 at 5:01 PM ^
With all due respect Finebaum is a horses ass.
November 28th, 2021 at 5:02 PM ^
Love it. And at 6:52 he says my name!!!
November 28th, 2021 at 5:37 PM ^
I just tuned in to that spot thinking “oh I wonder what that’s about.” Haha #facepalm
November 28th, 2021 at 5:34 PM ^
Speaking of podcasts, I will, in lieu of making a new post, recommend both the Cover 3 (starting at 7 minutes) and Unnecessary Roughness podcast (starting at 11 minutes but I would recommend starting from the beginning if you have the time, it's hilarious). In both, there are about 2 minutes of what I as a Michigan fan might best describe as pod-porn.
November 28th, 2021 at 6:47 PM ^
Good recs! Also, my son has a best friend named Niels.
November 28th, 2021 at 5:47 PM ^
Thanks, Pete. Now fuck off.
November 28th, 2021 at 5:51 PM ^
Guys like Pete are just playing a character for clicks and ratings. You can't take it so literally. They make some fan bases happy and other ones really mad... and either way both of them pay attention to the guy and that's all that matters.
November 28th, 2021 at 7:30 PM ^
Maybe he's "sucking up" to Jim Harbaugh, who is on the uptick to soften the eventual Bama down tick when Saban retires.
Nice try "Pete!"
November 28th, 2021 at 7:58 PM ^
All the pundits are shit heads and were shitting on Harbaugh.
The narrative
0-5 record vs. OSU - never mentioning the robbery in 2016 or injured QBs going into the game
3-4 record vs. MSU - never mentioning the 2015 fluke punt 6 or this year's officiating absurdity and low probability events.
Ultimately, they are not like fans - some willing to look at the details and nuance of why things have gone the way they have.
IE...I believe Harbaugh should be 5-2 vs. MSU and 2-5 vs. OSU had normal outcomes taken place.
Ultimately, however, you are what your records says you are - as they say - so good for Harbaugh...he had been snake bitten and deserved this win. The best way to get a program defining win like this is to dominate like UM did yesterday and not leave it in the hands of the officials or a few high leverage/low probability plays that can go against you.
The Harbaugh detractors can go fuck themselves, nuance is never part of their agenda, but hell, if it helps our program's momentum and recruiting, let them sing his praises today.
November 28th, 2021 at 10:06 PM ^
Honestly regardless of what he has said in the past he just owned it, and I felt like he was genuine. All that matters is that you can clearly see Jim’s players love him and they are a true team this year. The way they all talk and more importantly walk is coming straight from Jims example. The team did the best thing you could do is just win…crickets now from the nay sayers, or praise. Once you start walking there is nothing for them to say anymore. Go Blue!
November 28th, 2021 at 11:03 PM ^
Thought this was interesting per twitters / Brandon peters.../ Illinois QB
"I feel like I went 2-0 today".
