“Paul’s just warming up. He’s on mile 4 of a marathon.”

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends.

According to the report, he is adding weekly in-studio “SportsCenter” segments. His four-hour radio/TV gig also will add an hour.

The network will fly Finebaum from his Saturday “SEC Nation” campus pregame show to Connecticut every weekend during the season, giving him a high-profile perch on Sunday morning “SportsCenter” episodes to analyze the college football weekend.

I can only hope that one day we’ll look back on this and wonder what in the hell Mickey was thinking.

Meteor pissing match

PAWWWLLL vs. Harbaugh – who ‘ya got?

*************************************************************************

UPDATE:  Somebody may owe somebody an apology.

Thanks a lot, Slive.

I don’t think it’s any big surprise that I think Mike Slive was an overrated conference commissioner.  And that’s even before I learned this:

Finebaum morphed from attack-dog columnist to attack-dog radio host, but he won his current platform by morphing again into a ringmaster of sorts who balances informative interviews with wacky callers. Former SEC commissioner Mike Slive had to go to bat for Finebaum with various school presidents to get them to sign off on the hire.  [Emphasis added.]

For the love of all that’s holy, why, man, why?  Unless PAWWWLLL had photos of Slive in a compromising position, I can’t begin to think of a decent excuse.  And, to be honest with you, I’m not sure even blackmail would be enough to justify advocating for Finebaum like that.

Mark Richt may be gone…

… but the spirit of Kirk Herbstreit at ESPN lives on.

On new transfer rule: @Espngreeny says: "Kirby Smart may never speak to me again & I don't care. This is a disgrace – an absolute disgrace."

Smart isn’t doing anything 99% of the other coaches in America already do, but only at Georgia is it an absolute disgrace.

Get a grip, people.  Wait, it’s ESPN and Finebaum – what am I thinking?

“And Coach Richt, he’s been like a game out of that.”

Dial the clip here up to the 1:10 mark and listen to Finebaum ask Spurrier if he was surprised that Mark Richt was fired.

“Everything is not lost except Georgia’s pride and manhood.”

This is what you get when you lose badly.

I hope the coaches read some of that shit to the players… and then go back and read it to themselves.  Maybe a little shame will help reclaim some of the focus that was sadly lacking Saturday.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together…

Shit’s gettin’ truly weird.

I genuinely believe the interview with @MarkRicht was one of the most memorable we've ever had. So much respect.

… and Richt looks like he knows it.
