He is an institution and is infinitely more informed than, say, Ralph Barbieri on KNBR sports talk.
But the deal with Finebaum is you don\'t want him to get a bad attitude about you. Then you are toast. He has greased the skids on four coaches that I know of...all now ex-Bama coaches. Also did a number on the coach of a local HS that got featured for a whole season on cable TV a few years back. The coach was a little cornpone Napolean and really got off on his time in the spotlight, but when Finebaum got done with him you\'d be forgiven if you believed this HS pillar of success was a drunk, womanizing, self-promoting child molester. The first two were true, but Finebaum made sure everyone listening knew about it and didn\'t forget it.
In your abundant spare time read the Finebaum chapter in Warren St. James Rammer Jammer Yellowhammer. I listen to Finebaum when I\'m driving just to get a break from Sean Hannity et al.
