Finebaum rips Harbaugh

I especially like the part when he says Harbaugh never beat Saban or Freeze for a recruit.  I guess Gary's offers weren't commitable.

[Ed-S: Consolidated this with thread by 1VaBlue1. Here's what he said]:

Angelique captured both Finnebaum's radio show and Hugh Freeze's call-in to the Mike & Mike radio show.  Most, if not all, of Finnebaum's comments came at the end of his show - designed to ellicit a response he doesn't have to acknowledge until he gets a chance to review them.  The coward ass cowardly bitch...

His satellite tour (last summer) was groundbreaking, but it also was about Jim Harbaugh. It was about promoting the brand of Michigan football, but mostly, ‘Look at me, I’m Jim Harbaugh. I’m taking my shirt off. I can come into Nick Saban’s backyard.’ But not once did he ever beat Saban for a player, did he ever beat Huge Freeze for a player or (Tennessee coach) Butch Jones, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking cheap, uncessesary shots.

What cheap, unnecessary shots were taken by Harbaugh?  He hit hard when provoked - to defend his program, but otherwise said nothing.  Finnebaum is a tool to begin with, and the lead SEC apologist to boot.

Angie has other quotes, also, including some gems from Freeze, and some good points from Mike Riley against the ban.

no /s question:  I wonder what they psychology of the mind is in regards to being objective for 'ones' particular favorite teams.  What are the lenses one sees through that skews the objectivity?  To me the obvious answers are obvious here.  

a) Harbaugh clearly does want attention both for himself and UofM

b) Harbaugh clearly wants to balance the scales in terms of competitive advantage by stretching to the furthest reaches of the rules

c) Harbaugh clearly does not mind the psychological game of stiring the proverbial 'pot'

d) Harbaugh really does care about finding 'diamonds' in the rough.  In that process if it can help others I think he is honestly for the benefit of 'all' student-athletes

e) Fill in your own because I am sure I have only scratched the surface of reasons

 

Go Blue!

Paul Finebaum has so desperately tried to latch on to anything and everything Harbaugh..

I used to at times listen to his Sirius radio show on business trips but after about 15 minutes my ears would start to bleed and it was often times hard to understand the callers, if you're not fluent in SECtalk.

Paul Finebaum is the epitome of why I loathe ESPN and its content and personalities.  He is everything wrong with the SEC bias and skewed perception that the conference is somehow better than every other.

 

what an ass clown.  And dude is fucking ugly, too.  Talk about a FACE4RADIO there, Paul
