That's not surprising at all...I was actually happy that he went XM, because then the rest of the Country would see how fucking retarded the updyke nation is.
Heard Finebaum pretty much admit that he panders to the lowest common denominator. This last week, a couple of callers (not regulars) called, and gave lucid, reasoned opinions about paying or not paying players. Another caller, also not a regular called and suggested that those 2 callers replace the likes of Legend, and I Man. Finebaum agreed that would be nice, but then said, "the ratings will drop like a stone, and we'll be pulled off the air by Monday." How Finebaum seems to maintain an air of "legitimate journalist" with shows like OTL, but puts out the shit he does on his show is beyond me. Sadly, there's no sports alternative for me...and bad as his regular callers are, his guests are to notch very often. How he gets them is beyond me. He had Slive on this week, and before he had him on, he and the callers were already revving up to call him a liar unless he would come on and admit to such things as all the back room deals, winks and nods, that went on to keep Cam on the field. As usual though, Finebaum did throw Auburn a little bone, when Slive reasoned that using that SEC rule that everybody cited making players permanently ineligible in the SEC wasn't intended for things like Cam and that broad application of it would have unintended consequences. Finebaum said, "You mean like when players go on fishing trips?" Of course Finebaum go plenty of Updykes to reason why Ingram, Jones and Dareus' situations were "different". An Auburn caller replied with: "yeah, because there was actually proof they received the benefit in those cases".
