...putting Finebaum on the air?  He's a nightmare.   :banghead:   I've never heard him before today; had to change the channel.

lol

He pretty much sucks up to bammer fans and so has high ratings in alabammer

ESPN apparently mistook that for talent.  :naughty:

If they just had a studio show with Finebaum as host, conducting interviews and such, it might be tolerable.  But it's his idiot callers that make it unwatchable.  It was funny when it was just a bammer thing, but now that Phyllis and Jim and Al are being broadcast into over 90 million homes everyday, it's an embarrassment to the entire SEC. :banghead:

He is terrible and the most biased "reporter" I've ever heard.  In fact, except for live games, I think most of the SECN is very amateurish, reporters, programing, and games are rerun 88 times a day.  Other than Vol game, I don't think I've watched  more than 30 min total since it came on the air.

In his defense, he's not a reporter and he has no obligation to be unbiased.

But with that said, I can't stand him either. And I think the fact that the SECN has him on 4 hours a day is a huge mistake. I can't imagine that programming is drawing many viewers outside Alabama.

I like the other three guys on the pregame show (SEC Nation), but I find myself switching to ESPN U Film Room when he comes on.  To me the Film Room show is very interesting because they into the Xs and Os with really good analysis - all without showing any particular team bias.
