Alabama v Auburn, Paul Finebaum SEC

[Chiefnj2]

Saturday night I'm flipping channels and see Alabama v Auburn on ESPN/SEC. But, it's not the regular broadcast, it's the Paul Finebaum broadcast. He's some bald middle aged guy who doesn't say much, but he had 4 former players with him(McElroy, booger McFarland and I don't remember who else). These guys would break down the game every play.

It was a very unusual way to watch a game, but also the most educational viewing. Between just about every single play they would replay and diagram why it did,or didn't work, what the team was trying to do, looks, coverages, etc. Very informative.

Anyone ever see this and know whether it is done every week, or just an Iron Bowl special? Pretty amazing how quickly they can break everything down.

Damn. I didn't see that. I would love to have seen something like that.

I caught Booger breaking down plays on SEC network one night and my friend and I were in awe of that dude

he is up there with these crooked ass fingers that were probably broke playing football and pointing out every assignment and all kinds of shit. Calling people out who messed up on each play

Mind = Blown

Something similar was done in last seasons National Championship. It was very interesting to watch.

Paul Finebaum is a walking, talking penis.

Finebaum is a treasure. He's the biggest master troll in the entire American south. The people that call into his show represent the true idiot's pulse of the SEC. Because he's Birmingham based, any time either Alabama or Auburn loses a game is the funniest time to listen.

One thing that torques me about Finebaum is how he changes his opinion based upon the individual he's talking to. Whenever he does an interview w/ the local Mizzou-based station he's effusive with his praise of the program and, lately, Pinkel, but on his national show, he offers little other than contempt for them.

Given his roots and past I understand the Alabama lean, but his is often Pravda-esque.

Yeah, his show is a troll-fest. He's more fair in his radio interviews and such because the shows aren't bringing him on to troll, they want to hear his analysis. It's strange: his troll show's success gave him a broader analyst's platform. So he wears both hats now.
