Harbaugh Trolls SEC Just A Bit More
http://awfulannouncing.com/the-locker/jim-harbaugh-has-no-idea-who-paul…
Jim Harbaugh walks downstairs to the Prattville Marriott lobby dressed in a nice suit — hours after a shirtless photo went viral — with his jacket lapel sticking up.
A coach approaches, fixes his collar and tells him he was the talk of the Paul Finebaum Show that day. Finebaum, whose show is nationally syndicated and televised on the SEC Network, discussed Harbaugh’s appearance in Alabama with his legions of dedicated callers.
Harbaugh looks confused and shakes his head. He doesn’t know who Paul Finebaum is.
The coach continues, “He’s a radio show host.”
Again, nothing from Harbaugh.
“He’s a big deal down here in SEC country,” another coach chimes in.
Harbaugh nods. He asks about what they discussed and quickly moves on to something else. If the most popular radio show host in SEC country is talking about him, he doesn’t seem to care.
He has to have that hair cut because if Saben made a sudden stop he'd be neck deep up Bin Saben ass.
A stab from the PC thread I cant resist.

On my way home if I even listen to Paul Finebaum on SiriusXM ESPN2 for 5 seconds I get pissed.
I've seen a few ESPN snippets from his show. He is the definition of a self-righteous weenie. He's isn't in the Colin Cowherd mold, but more of that even tempered self-righteous feaux-intellectual type. Pretty insufferable to be that way when you're biases are so evident.
How great would it be if this became a rallying cry in the next evolution of the Big Ten-SEC rivalry, though.
It's an interesting idea, but how many people - even in the South - could you get to earnestly rally around something like "Do it for Finebaum!" as a cry to victory? I am sure I would be shocked at the number, and I am also sure that the first time I heard such a phrase it would be met with a paroxysm of laughter.
As a big fan of college football, I have never heard of the Paul Finebaum Show either. I sort of listen to Sports Talk radio, but generally only when something major is going on.
Maybe it's because I'm in the North
I never heard of him until I bought my last car and it had XM for two years. I used to listen to him from time to time when I still had it. Imaginhe if Jerry Springer has a sports talk show. He iften acts a a mild manner facilitator and lets the callers just remove all doubt about how dumb they are. He trolls parts of his audience and they love him for it.
He also usually would readily admit his biases.
Was the incident of ESPN parting ways with Hank Williams Jr over his comments comparing President Obama with Hitler.
Charming fellow to say the least. Then ESPN hired him!? I guess ratings rule.
First time seeing this. Finebaum comes across as a complete douchebag who just sits there and belittles the rest of the discussion panel and acts as though he has superior knowledge on everything, ever. Definitely didn't have much respect for Paul Finebaum before seeing this-now I have zero respect for him. What an ass clown.

I don't know why people are shocked by this. He's a CFB only guy on ESPN who is generally just there to blow the SEC. I watch a lot of ESPN and I don't even see the guy that often.
I think Finebaum and his southern fans think he's as well recognized nationally as he is in Jackson, MS but the truth is most people don't care about Finebaum
for watching a lot of ESPN, let alone any...
buddy
you're not my buddy, guy.
and hilarious without trying....
He HAS NO IDEA who Paul Finebaum is.
haha
You can find it here. As I said above, he somewhat trolls his audience, or at least brings up topics, like most host do to stiir the pot, but he rarely argues with them. He lets them duke it out.
Sorry, didn't mean to hide it.
Judging by the response on this board, I'd say this is false haha
