1. He is utterly ignorant about the mechanics of any sport played in the SEC especially football.
2. He knows lots about SEC sports history and knows many leading SEC sports figures.
3. He is an excellent interviewer and I really enjoy listening to him interview all kinds of sports figures/pundits.
4. His feature callers are TERRIBLE and make SEC fans look ignorant in every way. When a caller gets on, I mute it.

I agree, many of his interviews have some good content. However, he has a way of framing questions sometimes to get responses that can be sensationalized.
The two most recent examples I can think of are the Bobby Bowden and Jacob Hester interviews. He replayed the Bowden interview for 2 days for his comments about Jameis, even though Bowden only offered his opinion of what the fans thought. And he gently coaxed Hester into saying Les could be on the hot seat soon, which sent the Tiger Rant into a bitch fest.
I'm not criticizing Finebaum for doing that; he's supposed to be an entertainer. And as with most entertainers in his line of work, he'll do anything to generate more listeners and callers.

Yeah, the callers are by far the worst. His interviews are fantastic.

I agree.

Yeah, but listening to some of those humanoids that call in is good for a laugh, in small doses.
