Sam Webb on Pete Finebaum show
December 29th, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
Go get ‘em Sam. It’s amazing that SEC lickspittle toady would put him on.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:34 PM ^
I’m surprised they put Sam on—did they think he was going to roll over for Finebaum? They were making a big mistake if they were.
December 30th, 2023 at 12:21 AM ^
It’s content. It’s money.
Finebaum does not stand for anything. He is a shock jock.
December 30th, 2023 at 7:22 AM ^
He’s a chode attached to a set of ears.
December 30th, 2023 at 7:09 PM ^
When Alabama got picked for the CFP, Finebaum said he was happy for his wife because she's from Alabama. But he was sad for himself because if Alabama and the entire SEC got left out of the CFP, it would be his greatest show ever.
He is about himself and whatever gets a reaction.
He loves that he is hated in the Big Ten. He loves that we know who he is and care what he says. That is why he trolls us. It's a business decision.

I’ve never listened to or watched the daily Pete Finebaum show, but maybe he wanted some legitimately good content on the game? I know that some of the better Michigan podcasts I listen to (The Michigan Man, The Wolverine) offer opposing points of view. MGoBlog is still the best, but I do enjoy opposing points of view.
December 30th, 2023 at 1:07 AM ^
I have actually tried a few times and he is just boring, not entertaining, and not insightful. I don’t get it.
December 30th, 2023 at 5:40 AM ^
Outright hack. Had a regional football talk show that got picked up by regional ESPN, as I understand it. Gained some notoriety teasing crazy Alabama fans on air. Got some thick glasses and the rest is history. Seizes on whatever strand of whatever he can and works to fan it into heat, compel ears and eyeballs. Seized on Jim Harbaugh to fan some North-South antagonism, embraced him for a minute when Jim started to succeed, seized the Stalions story to fan the hate with hack/pal Heather Sandwich once again.
Low-level trickster. In any healthy traditional community, they'd make him live way on the edge of town. To his marginal credit, he always seems amused that anyone takes him seriously.
December 30th, 2023 at 8:42 AM ^
at least he's easy on the eye...
December 29th, 2023 at 10:10 PM ^
Pete the SEC water carrier.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:00 PM ^
Pete the sec butt boy....
December 29th, 2023 at 10:25 PM ^
Finebaum was pretty gracious. Finebaum is a chameleon who says what his overlords at ESPN tell him to, but he acted like a gentleman in this interview at least. Sam did a great job, as always.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Finebaum is infuriating because his troll shit is a complete act. When dealing with respectable people he he doesn't have the guts to behave like an ass.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:29 PM ^
Yep, it’s all an act. Everything on ESPN is an act.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
Gracious when face to face with someone reasonable. Doesn't excuse his Finebaum Fulminations and irresponsible innuendoes.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:48 PM ^
Paul is where he is in football media because he knows — and has long known — it's theatre and entertainment. He crafts opinions to generate the biggest reactions, now on a national rather than regional stage. It's not a personal or heartfelt thing. There's no reason to get worked up over it or fulminate against it because that's exactly what we wants you to do.
December 30th, 2023 at 12:29 AM ^
He's where he is because a fucking idiot poisoned a tree, then called Finebaum's show to brag about it.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Good shit, Sam. Ate that fool up.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:29 PM ^
EDIT: deleted
December 29th, 2023 at 10:33 PM ^
Is there a reason why everyone calls him "Pete" Finebaum when his first name is actually Paul? Some kind of inside joke?
December 29th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
Basically just a sign of disrespekt.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:38 PM ^
Pete. Mork. What’s the difference?
December 29th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
See Harbaugh historical data. Early years as Michigan coach. I can't help you all the way you must do some research yourself.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:42 PM ^
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/detroit/news/jim-harbaugh-slams-sec-water-carrier-pete-finebaum-on-twitter/
From when Harbaugh was still active on Twitter.
December 30th, 2023 at 7:46 AM ^
So in 2017 Finebaum didn’t like one of Harbaugh’s hires as “unethical” if not illegal.
Wonder if he had anything to say about the Alabama hire of George Helow.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:45 PM ^
His real name to be truthful is PENIS HEAD !!
December 30th, 2023 at 7:50 AM ^
hey whats wrong with penises
December 29th, 2023 at 10:53 PM ^
I watched a couple minutes of his show yesterday. Some caller from Georgia was complaining about his “hanus” and encouraging the listeners to get a colonoscopy. I’m not sure what that has to do with football, but it’s good advice.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:40 PM ^
I don't know if what's on TV is simulcast from satellite radio, but he seems to be familiar with most of his callers. Almost like their calling in to talk to an old family friend about anything and nothing at the same time. A lot of them sound like talking to Pete is the highlight of their week.
I know I'll probably get tossed to Bolivia for this, but I don't mind listening to Pete talk about college football with his callers. He's been called a Saban hater for years in the part of the South I frequent. I absolutely loathe the ESPN version of him that carries the SEC water on national TV.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:54 PM ^
Mark Packer was so much better when he had his 'Off Campus' shows. Billy Packer's kid was a great radio host. Now he's doing something for the ACC network and a couple of OSU asshats run the Off Campus show, and it sucks.
December 30th, 2023 at 12:12 AM ^
Was this the one on Sirius/XM? It was either with McElroy or maybe backed up to McElroys show. Either way, agreed, Packer was great. Forgot about him until this comment.
December 30th, 2023 at 2:01 AM ^
Off Campus needs Mark back. I don't mind Jacob Hester (former LSU RB) as he's pretty much the main guy who runs the show. But Bobby Carpenter is tough to listen to. I seriously think he's doing the show while lifting weights. Then again, he does have an early morning show in CBus, so maybe he's kinda checked out by 3PM.
December 29th, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
Sorry. Wrong thread.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
Finebaum is a two-faced idiot! When talking to a Michigan writer he talks respectful towards Michigan, but when talking about Michigan on his show by himself, he wants the NCAA to strip Michigan from a title if they win it.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
Shading what you say depending on who you're talking to? That's fairly normal.
But this level of hypocrisy? The man has no character.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:22 PM ^
Crazy how Finebaum is much more subdued when talking to someone that is not going to just give in and go along with his rhetoric.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:31 PM ^
Good for Sam. Nice to see him get some national exposure.
December 29th, 2023 at 11:35 PM ^
I think even Pete Finebaum is recognizing that not only does this Michigan team have a different level of confidence going into this game, but so do our fans!
December 30th, 2023 at 12:24 AM ^
My work got out at 2 today and I didn’t know that was happening. Small victories. So I got home in the afternoon and randomly put on Finebaums show. I’ve seen it maybe two other times bc I strongly dislike him. But it was fascinating watching a blue screen with the name and location of every caller. 90% were criminally under-educated but I’m not into politics. Either way I can’t imagine Sam had a good time on that show but glad he did what he did.
December 30th, 2023 at 8:30 AM ^
Way to go Sam ! Calling out unbridled hypocrisy is a good thing. Hope Finebum learned something.
December 30th, 2023 at 9:11 AM ^
His schtick works when he’s talking to Bo from Gasden but when he’s on the line with someone who knows significantly more about Michigan and its coach….crickets from Pete. It showed what a pandering phony that little twatface is. He didn’t even try to debate Sam about any of the anti-harbaugh crud he’s been piping on about day after day after day. Friggin pandering clown
Well done, Sam!
December 30th, 2023 at 9:45 AM ^
I never heard finebaum speak before, is this typical for him?? He sounds so boring and then things he say are such hogwash.
December 30th, 2023 at 10:03 AM ^
Sam as always does a good job
December 30th, 2023 at 11:02 AM ^
Finebaum looks like the kid who was always picked last at recess and hit with the dodgeball first, how can anyone take him seriously about sports he never played?
December 30th, 2023 at 12:04 PM ^
I really don't like the "cheating" narrative Sam was pushing. Cheating isn't illegal; everyone does it. The actual advantages of in-person advance scouting through grainy iphone footage is minimal, probably nothing at all--certainly nothing compared to having signals handed to you by other football staffs, which Michigan has shown actually occurred.
December 30th, 2023 at 2:55 PM ^
Finebaum seemed uninterested in anything Sam had to say, as if he had to have Sam on because someone above him told him to.
December 30th, 2023 at 7:13 PM ^
Yeah, there was no back and forth. Just checked the box and went on to the next segment.
