re: Who here actually likes Paul Finebaum

He is an excellent interviewer and I really enjoy listening to him interview all kinds of sports figures/pundits.

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.
