Longtime Finebaum Caller Shane From Centerpoint Dies After Battle With Cancer

From al.com by Ben Flanagan. If ever you’ve turned the dial to Paul Finebaum’s daily sports talk radio show, the name “Shane from Centerpoint” means something to you. Whether you gritted your teeth at his outright homer-ism for his beloved Crimson Tide or you pumped your fist as he pridefully hassled national media members who appeared on the show, Shane got a daily rise out of regular listeners. Finebaum becomes a daily fixture for so many who live and breathe college football in the South, and so do his eccentric cast of callers. Some might say [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Paul Finebaum Claims Citadel Depressed His Pay

From BizJournals.com by Evan Belanger.

From Al.com by John Solomon. You say you’re sick of hearing about Danny Sheridan’s bagmen and Harvey Updyke’s poison. But like it or not, you’re still listening. It’s in this context to consider news that Cox Media Group will start a second sports talk station in Birmingham next Tuesday. It will be 97.3 FM The Zone, meaning advertisers can buy spots on The Zone radio station or The Zone TV show on ABC 33/40.

Danny Sheridan Does Not Identify Cam Newton Bag Man On The Paul Finebaum Show

From TeamSpeedKills.com. USA Today analyst Danny Sheridan has not come forward with a name for the Cam Newton bag man. Sheridan originally reported at SEC Media Days that the NCAA had the name, but he said he didn’t know it at the time. He said last week that he had the name, but he is not going to reveal it because he believes it would cause someone at the NCAA to lose their job. He was clear that not revealing the name had nothing to do with whether it’s true, but rather it’s all about protecting [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Finebaum’s Explanation For Anti-Auburn Rant Doesn’t Withstand Scrutiny

From NeverToYieldFoundation.com. Incendiary radio host Paul Finebaum created a niche for himself by dwelling in controversy.  On Wednesday, Finebaum found himself on unfamilar ground, crawfishing and backtracking, trying to explain away a 40 minute-long commentary during which he painted Auburn in an incredibly unflattering light while heaping effusive praise on the University of Alabama. Over the years he built his reputation with skewering commentary and by fanning the flames of rivalry. But Finebaum is savvy. He lets his callers do the heavy lifting.  The overwhelming consensus is that many of these callers are plants coached [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Paul Finebaum Likens Auburn Program To Ponzi Scheme

From WarBlogle.com. We all know how Paul Finebaum works. He has built his show around stirring the pot, creating controversy, and feeding off those that claim they’ll never listen to him again. You can listen one day and he’s all on the Nick Saban bandwagon, and the next day he’s bashing him and all about Chizik. This past Friday, I heard him switch back and forth from one caller to the next, so it’s no surprise as to what he’s doing. Most see it, but those that continue to call do not. HOWEVER….

Tammy called, too, and said, beyond a shadow of a doubt, she couldn’t be pregnant, Paaauuul, because she only had sex one time this month. Harvey Updyke called, too.

The Truth About Scott Moore And The Cam Newton Tapes

From Adamdendum.tumblr.com. Over promise, under deliver.  That’s my experience with Scott Moore.  This show was going to be huge.  He was going to make 6-figures selling telephone service.  But when the check came due, Scott was never around to pay it.   Now, he supposedly has tapes that implicate Cam Newton in rule-breaking.  I am not following the story of the tapes and what they may, or may not, contain.  Don’t have to.  “Scott Moore claims…” is enough for me to know that the whole thing is bogus (likely a publicity stunt).    I’ve got [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Here are some nuggets from Threatt: “I don’t think that I’ve ever represented anybody quite like Harvey.”  “When I first talked to Harvey, he sounded very downtrodden, very, very [Comment or Read the Rest...]
