Title: Finebaum again... He just unwittingly confirmed his worthlessness

If we banned callers who call here to talk about each other, who's going to call? 

I'd be talking to myself for four hours. 

EXACTLY. 

That's ALL his show adds.  Babble.  He knows nothing about sports.  His callers know less.

To his defense - his show is unique.  It's the callers that are the problem.  It's his management that enables it. 

I don't think he would ever claim to know anything about football, Auburn, Alabama, or sports in general.  He just gives a little drama to the callers and lets the show take off. 

Doesn't help that he's cherry picked the callers that call in and guides them to say something to keep the show going.

I'd say that it doesn't hurt that he has cherry picked the callers that call in, at least from his perspective.

Legends are not necessarily good things.  Per the dictionary, legends have unrealistic qualities that make them utterly unbelievable and therefore not grounded in fact.  What I would like to know is what exactly is the basis for him being a "legend"?  In his own mind?  A legendary douche of epic proportions?  Someone please explain.

Its shocking to me that anybody would aspire to be the ringmaster of the moron circus.  Can success in that business only be attained by pandering to the lowest common denominator?

I drove from Bham to Mobile last week and put him on for 15 mins. It was the day the NYT article was out and I couldn't stomach his show.  I turned him off a long time ago and since I was on a long drive I figured he would pass the time.  He has become a Homer and all his Bammer callers are on his payroll.

LOL at South Carolina fans today ripping Paul a new asshole.

First of all, Paul insulted Greenville as a shitty town from his ivory tower in Birmingham, despite later admitting he'd never been there. The guy shut him down pretty hard on that. Then when Paul tried to downplay South Carolina beating Alabama this year and said "Why are South Carolina fans so defensive? the guy said "How am I getting defensive? I just asked you a sports-related question, I know you have a hard time talking actual sports and all"

Don't know what the next guy said, but they had to dump him before he even got started, and Paul acknowledged "Rebooting the system" because he was getting attacked by SC fans.

Gold Jerry!

Cocks...all of them.

I heard PF talking about the USCe game yesterday and it was like he was saying how lucky they were to beat Bama.  No, they lined up and came after MacElroy and did the job on offense.

Yeah it's worsening.  And Snaggle's right, Ellis Johnson had the 'Cocks ready. No fluke.

I don't see Greenville on these lists below. I did notice one city though. Someone should send him the below links just to shut him up about that.

I live in Greenville, SC.  The idiocy from the show yesterday was astounding.  Love B'ham and the surrounding areas you want, but downtown Greenville absolutely houses B'ham and it's downtown atmosphere.  There is ZERO comparison.

Downtown G'ville was actually one of the things that attracted me to this area more than anything.

Chop speaks the truth. You can actually walk around downtown Greenville without an armed security guard. Can't say that much for  downtown Bham.
