What is his perceived leverage?  CBS?  they have one SEC game a week.  Fox, NBC  - nope.  Why would ESPN bid up themselves?

This is Jim Rome all over again, he has no real audience outside of his SEC safe space.

He’s probably too old now but Fox should have swooped in and hired Ron Franklin after ESPN fired him. 

Franklin was an all time great but he was losing it pretty badly at the end.

travis clay will have to take over as the #1 sec sec sec ass licker

Greg McElroy would be another candidate. He is decades younger with a bonafide record of SEC deepthoating on SiriusXM.

Cracks me up that the SEC is furious with ESPN for starting an ACC network. They are saying that Skipper and Slive had an agreement that ESPN would only carry the SEC network and no other conference networks. I guess the SEC doesn't like competition.

Finebaum does a really good job with interviews. Laura Rutledge needs to go. Marcus Spears is great. I don't listen to the callers. Don't like his two sidekicks. 

Grown men going apeshit over the play of 19-year-olds is true Americana.

Yeah, in the late 90s/early 00s, long before ESPN suckfest for the SEC, I used to love watching the Saturday night SEC games with Franklin making the calls.

What would it look like for the B1G to sign Finebaum to the BTN..? It would expand his footprint from being boxed in as just a "southern talk show host"...

Buckeye fans would eat him alive.

Sounds like Finebaum is asking for big bucks or threatening to walk and ESPN is calling his bluff 

because the days of “big name” commentators are dying

So, what you're saying is that this may not end well for Senor Finebaum with ESPN? 

If they follow precedent then Finebaum will be out on his ass.

However, if they adhere to the Stephen A. Smith Corollary they will give him a huge raise.

I vote for the first option.

I think he's pretty valuable to them as that is a rabid and reliable audience he brings. An extension for him seems like the kind of thing that they would purposely announce a few days ahead of SEC media days to bring some added attention. Feeding dirt to Clay Travis only hurts his negotiating position I would think

But it's like the old quote "any publicity (even negative callers attempting to rip on Finebaum), is still good publicity"... And it would expand his reach, as is Buckeyes don't call into his show; at least I wouldn't imagine that they do...

I'm guessing that Saban will decide if he stays or goes....imo.

If Finebaum goes Saban could see his nut sack again.

Just post a picture of that sissy's pantyhose-sheathed cock then.

Man, that show was like waking up in the drunk tank of Cullman County.

I live on the Cullman County line, never been in the drunk tank there, but I did have an incident with some "weed". The judge was surprisingly easy, only paid a $250.00 fine.

Buckeye fans call in to the s$#t show, even Texas Longhorn fans call in. The one good thing about Finebaums show being national is showing all fanbases have some real morons.

blOw-U's number in the tens of thousands and aggy is well over a million. We only have 224, total. I counted 'em. And 124 of 'em post on here. It used to be 129, but 5 couldn't figure out how to migrate from The Shag.

Finebaum is the most undeserving of a job in broadcasting in media history. He should be digging ditches (nttawwt).

What did ditch diggers do to you?  They deserve better than being associated with Paul Finebaum.

He brings a voice to a very passionate region, and that allows for enjoyment of many who tune into the show, as some it is to either be for or against the callers opinions...

Not sure I ever drank a beer in Walker County, but one Sunday I did witness beer being bought and sold all cagey-like at a little store nigh unto Oakman.

He draws them all in, but when those Alabama fans call, it makes me glad I don't live in the south. I listen to the 4:30-5:30 slot coming home from work, and half of the callers are complaining about the other half. He's Jerry Springer on radio.

You've got to remember that he brings a voice to these people that are just simple farmers.  These are the people of the land.  The common clay of the New West.

You know... morons.

And truck drivers, and guys like Big Lew who can get you life insurance for you because your new trophy wife wants some (He's only on #2)

I know Finebaum isn't a radio announcer, but aggy should money whip him to replace the recently retired Dave South.

Wait, Dave South retired?

He is a million times worse than Finebaum, difficult as that is to believe.

FOX doesn't have SEC, they don't care; if they did, they would swoop in and sign asshat Travis, he is much more aligned with FOX as a whole.  CBS SPORTS is a far more likely landing spot for Finebaum.

Travis is already part of Fox Sports, I think they bought OKTC, but maybe that all blew up.

That was the old modus operandi of ESPN, and how the outbid themselves for NFL product, but I don't see ESPN using that to get SEC tier 1 now...

If you listen to the hayseeds that call in to his Sirius show, it is freaking high comedy.  They make Joe Dirt sound like William Shakespeare.

 

Hands down my favorite ever was watching the SEC network immediately after Clemson beat Bama two years ago. Finebuam and the rest of the SEC apologists were taking calls right after the game. It was comical watching the callers and the SEC homers cry on air trying to make excuses for the loss.

95% of callers were probably aggy? secsecsec.

It's great for SEC Network because he is just simulcasting a radio show every day for what 3 hours?  The production costs are small and he's got "live" content.

I wonder if LHN ever thought of simulcasting Bucky & Erin in the morning? 

B&E doesn't have enough good content to pull that off. Half of their shows is Bucky dicking around with random thoughts and Erin trying to spin jokes off of them. I don't think you could fill numerous hours of a call in show about one school. The SEC has 14 inbred fanbases and schools of lesser education as subject matter, not to mention the rampant cheating.
