Finebaum explains recruiting ethics to John U. Bacon on OTL
February 15th, 2017 at 8:37 PM ^
Not concerned about a man who looks like a giant unkempt penis
February 15th, 2017 at 8:45 PM ^
I always thought he looked like some sort of space alien, but I can see your comparison, too.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:53 PM ^
If he looks like an Unkempt penis, what the fuck does a Kempt penis look like???
February 15th, 2017 at 9:12 PM ^
You don't want to know
February 15th, 2017 at 10:02 PM ^
Like Matthew McConaughey, obvs.
February 15th, 2017 at 10:16 PM ^
It's a legit question and this board has the right to know.
Oh wait, you said Kempt...
February 15th, 2017 at 10:39 PM ^
Properly groomed, maybe a little glitter
February 16th, 2017 at 9:09 AM ^
over and I'll show ya
February 16th, 2017 at 9:17 AM ^
or even a Verklempt penis?
February 16th, 2017 at 10:24 AM ^
That guy was frightening with hair.
February 16th, 2017 at 11:54 AM ^
Did Klimt ever even paint dudes?
February 15th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
I've always said that he looks like what would happen if they made a muppet of a penis.
February 16th, 2017 at 4:56 AM ^
very disrespektful to unkempt penises everywhere
February 16th, 2017 at 7:57 AM ^
I always think " a dick with ears" whenever PB is on.
February 16th, 2017 at 10:46 AM ^
I think a "dick with ears" is better description! Must have trouble finding headphones that properly fit.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:39 PM ^
Don't give a fuck what Paul Finebaum has to say.
February 15th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
I love Bacon, but he did a really bad job defending Jim
Just straight up say he's more than qualified to be a coordinator, and his son is simply a bonus. What idiot head coach would hire somebody to be a unqualified coordinator just for their kid, who is 2.5 years away from seeing the field at the minimum and turn out to be a bust anyway?
February 15th, 2017 at 9:42 PM ^
I think Bacon clearly made that point at the beginning, he just didn't repeat it over and over again like Finebaum did at nauseam.
The video is such a gem when, after Bacon lays down of all the unethical money funneling activities the NCAA continually ignores, the video cuts to the host, who's like"..uh, well, we're talking about ethics..."
Never ever! discuss the unseemly details of ESPN's sugahmomma, JUB.
February 15th, 2017 at 11:12 PM ^
PF never explain how it is unethical. JUB should have grilled him how exactly this is unethical.
February 15th, 2017 at 11:49 PM ^
Finebaum comes right out and says "It's not illegal" Yet he's decided that it's a problem anyway.
Meanwhile, his SEC is committing act after act that is blatantly illegal. He says nothing.
If he's wondering why us "Michigan zealots" won't take him seriously, there's your answer.
February 15th, 2017 at 11:57 PM ^
I was waiting for JUB to mention Isaiah Wilson's coach and Georgia to see what Paul had to say about that. Sadly, opportunity missed.
February 16th, 2017 at 8:52 AM ^
It's not illegal but it's cheating. Should tell you all you need to know about that moran.
February 16th, 2017 at 9:11 AM ^
He's been in the SEC so long he doesn't even know what the definition of cheating is anymore.
February 16th, 2017 at 6:10 AM ^
He just learned that new shiney word and wants to show everyone down south how smrtt he is.
Besides, do ya think he ever would have used it on his own show in reference to an SEC program?
February 15th, 2017 at 10:02 PM ^
Ethics: the kid hasn't even committed, he is 2 years out. MJ coached with harbaugh in the past. The best counter would have been, the SEC shutting down the satellite camps...how many kids benefited by attending those camps? Ethics: yes, PF, here is a man that loves the game so much, he is willing to go to 30 some camps to teach kids/coaches...that's character
February 15th, 2017 at 10:29 PM ^
I remember when Bo Schembechler hired Jack Harbaugh because he knew his son Jim would be a great QB in a decade.
February 15th, 2017 at 10:38 PM ^
Paul sounds... SCARED
February 16th, 2017 at 12:19 AM ^
Bacon was getting hammered by the "host," who had obviously taken Finebaum's side. He was given about a minute to talk out of about five minutes of segment. Fuck Finebaum and fuck ESPN.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:41 PM ^
It isn't breaking the rules but it's just wrong, eh Paul? Where you been on the Saban over signing?
February 15th, 2017 at 8:42 PM ^
that think what Finebaum says is relevant. For the rest of us, he's just a wee little peckerhead that's better kept out of sight and earshot
February 15th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
#####
February 16th, 2017 at 10:05 AM ^
No, he is not taken seriously down here either. Most sports fans don't like him. Alabama fans are ok with him. That's about it.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^
I really dont understand the backlash. Is being a Head coach the ceiling for all HS coaches? Jim is hiring the best talent from high schools. Its them moving up and gaining huge experience and furthering their career. finding talent in kids and coaches. nothing wrong with that.
I think NCAA should investigate how many blow jobs ESPN (Finebaum) is giving out to the SEC
February 15th, 2017 at 8:51 PM ^
That's not it though. Michael Johnson is a former NFL coach (who happened to coach Harbaugh a year). The guy is way overqualified. Nothing to see here.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:48 PM ^
In college basketball, it's common for AAU programs to only let schools who hire their coaches have contact with their players. That's been going on for years right out in the open and nobody cared.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:49 PM ^
I don't think they could have tried harder to make that be one side vs the other and debate when you have JUB and noted Michigan hater PF going against each other.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:49 PM ^
seeing as this kid is not eligible to enroll until 2 years after Finebaum said Harbaugh would be back in the NFL anyway
February 15th, 2017 at 10:40 PM ^
Like i said...Paul sounds scared.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:50 PM ^
Alabama pays for every one of their recruits.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:51 PM ^
Fuck Paul Finebaum
February 15th, 2017 at 9:48 PM ^
...ok, but you better ask nick first....
and yes, this gif has been used before, but it fits the comment & thread perfectly!
February 15th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
I cannot think of a bad time to use this gif...
February 15th, 2017 at 10:00 PM ^
Fact: Mike Johnson forgets more in a day than what Finebam will ever learn in a lifetime about football (i.e. what a player goes through daily, etc.). Years ago Finebam was a small regional entertainer for local radio with a local paycheck and maintained independent, mostly benign, opinions. Today, he receives marching orders to sensationalize and be provocative.... providing insight to football is now absent and long gone from his "reporting". He's turned into a diatribe.
February 16th, 2017 at 12:03 AM ^
The key difference between philosophies can be summed up with Paul's little comment after mentioning the trip to Rome, "I don't see what that has to do with football". The answer is nothing. It has nothing to do with football and everything to do with getting an education. You know, what college was originally intended to provide.
February 16th, 2017 at 12:52 AM ^
Paul Finebum downvoted you...... he lurks here.
February 16th, 2017 at 1:27 AM ^
Of course Paul only lurks here. He certainly couldn't engage in intelligent dialogue.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:55 PM ^
Soooo . . . What PF is saying is that any high school coach who has a really good recruit (basketball, football, hockey, etc.) is precluded from taking a college coaching job in a sport in which his son or daughter is involved. PF would significantly limit the employment opportunities of a father (or mother) just because they have athletic children. Hummm. Where's the ethics in that. He's only mad because it's Harbaugh.
February 15th, 2017 at 8:54 PM ^
As a reminder, Paul Finebaum IS on the "persona non grata" list nowadays per Seth, but I suppose since he was talking to John U. Bacon, we could possibly leave it. All the same, sadly he now knows what it is like to have a penis with an accent pretend to know something about ethics.
