The appeal of the Paul Finebaum Show has always been his snide remarks and the oddball characters who call in. HOWEVER... PF is a good interviewer and has always had some interesting guests. PF has carved out a Niche in the sports show business.Is it just me, or is anybody else exasperated with most of the regular callers on Finebaum? I usually don't listen or watch, but I have a TV in my office and it happened to be on today when I got back from lunch. There is some guy from Jasper calling in early today (missed his name), and I just cannot listen to folks like him, Tammy, I-Man, Phyllis, Charles, etc. The problem is PF occasionally has some good interviews with coaches or other announcers that are worth listening to. I have never been a Finebaum fan (I believe he is vastly overrated), but I honestly believe he would do much better if he left certain callers off the show.
Ya got to take PF with a grain of sand... His is a sports entertainment show. ESPN saw the appeal PF has with the football nuts and decided to take a gamble on giving him a TV spot.
He has done well.
