As Brian said, PF is good at what he does and he understands that his bread is buttered by catering to the unwashed masses. That means making sure his show centers around Bama, whether it's positive or negative. That also means making sure any negative tidbit that surfaces about Bama's biggest rival is blown out of proportion.
I would tend to disagree concerning the ability to get "SEC" news from his show. Having Barbara Dooley on each week and making fun of Pat Dye is about the extent of that for Finedung. He does have the ability to get great guests but unfornunately, if that guest can't somehow bring his/her topic back around to Bama football, they have no relevance on his show. I turned him on a few weeks back and he had this beat writer on from Louisville when the whole Pitino affair thing was all the rage. I thought to myself, hey..something besides Bama talk..might be worth a listen. I promise you the 2nd thing I heard out of Finedongs mouth was something to the effect of.."This would almost be like something coming out about Nick Saban..blah, blah, blah.."
Let me get this straight, you're interviewing a beat writer from the State of Kentucky about a scandal involving one of the most high profile basketball coaches in the business...and you're asking him questions about Nick Saban? But, that's what made his listeners perk up. Prior to that, they were all going, "Whut thuh hayull's he tawkin' bout baskitbaw fer? I wanna' know whut thuh almaghty Saybin had fer brekfast an thuh consistinsee of his poop afterwurds."
