I can't stand Finebaum's show for anything beyond sheer comedic value, but reading through the transcript after a Bama loss is always fun (and talk about after Bama and Auburn both losing in the same weekend).
But this caller really gave me a good chuckle:
Caller Robert from Oxford, Miss.: The AP polls are out, and Ole Miss is ranked number three. There's some people out there saying, "Why isn't Ole Miss ranked number one?" You want to know the real reason why Ole Miss isn't ranked number one? Because Ole Miss ain't beat nobody good yet, PAWWWWLLLLL!
Some of the other callers were pure gold, but talk about perspective. We lose our opening home game and our starting QB, and this site is as positive right now as I have seen in some time.
Bama losses to a really good Ole Miss team and the sky is not just falling, its landing and imploding at midfield of Bryant Denny.

GD I meant to TiVO this show. Anyone have a way to watch it now?
I love the fact you have a TiVO
Four of them, one can record four HD shows at once.
I honestly had no idea the company still existed. I had assumed the DVR provided by cable and satellite companies had eliminated TiVo. I had TiVo several years ago, and I miss the fast-forward and rewind noises.
TiVo has come a long way, everyone of my boxes can record two HD shows at once or I can watch live tv and it can record on the other tuner. They sell a small device that can play shows recorded on a different TiVo in the house if you don't want a bunch of full TiVo DVR's. I think the user interface and recording options like season pass are better on TiVo than any other cable DVR also.
My Comcast DVR does that exact same stuff, and when I had DirecTV with a DVR and a standard second box it had the same functionality, where you could stream the recorded shows to another TV on the system. And if I had 2 Comcast boxes I'm pretty sure I could do the same. The TV companies have cone a long way in offering a quality experience while charging you out the ass for watching TV.
What is out there now is down-right ridiculous in terms of functionalities.
With my Verizon FIOS set-up I have one main box that is basically a media center and two smaller boxes. Every box in the house has access to what is on the DVR. I have no idea how many HD channels I can record simultaneously, but I have tried recording four and it worked. I have like eight or nine full-length movies and a buttload of TV shows recorded and last time I checked the DVR was 17% full.
What I think is the greatest feature, however, is that as long as the box is on, I can change the channel to a show or game that is already in progress, and rewind it back to the beginning. And of course the HD is better than I could get on Comcast and am paying $70 less per month.
And yet 90% of the time, my TVs are on Sprout.
We are on a HUGE Paw Patrol kick in my house right now
Don't get me started on the tens of millions of dollars it would take for Paw Patrol to actually function.
I just want to know why Chase the police dog gets to go on every GD mission!! But they leave my boy Marshall out!
My daughters are hooked on this show. It is pretty hilarious that this came up on here.
I have to check the TV guide to know when that show comes on. If I don't and my son catches a glimpse of it at all our plans are pushed back by at least half an hour.
Get yourself DirectTV with the new Genie box. Just got upgraded for free because I called in saying I was gonna cancel. They got me the new box along with Sunday Ticket free for the year. Records up to 7 shows at once from 1 box.
I can barely find 1 thing worth watching at a time, much less 7.
I can't. But the 4 and 2 year old sure can.
Doc McStuffins, Team Umizoomi, Sesame Street, Micky's Clubhouse, the list goes on...
Haha man. Hits so close to home. My daughter is obsessed. We've got the Doc McStuffins dr kit, dolls, PJs, you name it.
I must say though, she is cute as can be when she is singing the song to her little brother to calm him down.
Yeah, mine will get out her stuffed animals and give them check ups while singing the song. It's adorable. Teen Titans Go is her favorite now, which to my surprise I actually find funny myself.
my daughters are big fans of this as well. I can't watch anything in my house. I got a tv outside and they have overtaken that too. crazy.
Or as it is called at my house: Stock Dickmuffins.
You can listen to the podcast on the ESPN Radio app
to be honest, this board would probably be reacting totally different to our season to date if we had the history and past success as alabama. They are spoiled and they act like it.
But alabama sad fan's faces make great memes though
First picture remind you of anybody? lol
You should have seen this site when we lost to Pitt in 2012 and then Duke.
I feel like the Cinci game was the worst meltdown that year.
That whole year was a meltdown, and then we almost beat FSU, because of course we did, we haven't made any sense the last few years.
I meant here on the site, that was a rough week.
oh I did, just was too depressed to even bother coming on here
Link the transcript
F&^k Alabama and Matt Ryan. Also Tom Brady.
I remember watching the Alabama/Auburn Finebaum telecast on the SEC Network last year when he was taking callers during the game. I was convinced those callers were paid actors.
I wonder if Phyllis from Mulga called in...
angry phyllis
So I love VT, and VT football, but God help me if I ever let it consume my life like it apparently consumes good ol' Phyllis'. I realize it's Bama, and SEC, and all that noise, and it's that passion that drives the programs to excel, but there's more to life than a football game, and I'll be damned if it ever drives me to call into a national radio show and act like a complete jackass like that. What a douche canoe! But, it is entertaining.
Love it and a leg for the use of "douche canoe". For reference you would probably have garnered twice as many legs if you had used "douche nozzle".
Guessing here but how do we not know she has turned that brand into a couple mil?
Glad to see douche canoe catching on. I save douche nozzle for the REALLY REALLY bad offenders. Like 1 douche nozzle for every 10 or 15 canoes.
I really appreciate people spelling out proper usage of these terms. I have a dream of a future where every expletive and insult has a specific meaning and is ranked by severity. It would make trash talk so much more concise and meaningful.
I love how the most insane people call in and just lose their sh*t on the air, and Paul's just sitting there acting like everything is perfectly normal.
Alabama fans sounding like hillbillys? Anything different would be abnormal.
He does have the best demeanor. He knows what his show is, and he got rich off of it.
Good for him
Is that a Perry Bible Fellowship strip? Kind of looks like the style of some of them.
KC Green of gunshowcomic.com.
That's exactly what it is. People are going off and Finebaum seems like they might as well be commenting on the weather.
That's A+ trolling right there. Well done, Robert from Oxford
Its funny, because its true. Looking at a 3 loss Bammer team this year.
How the hell does Alabama not have a quarterback?
I don't know, but it's fantastic. But I bet LANE has a LOT to do with it!!!!!!!
(To be fair, they have always simply found a "serviceable" signal caller to snap it and distribute. Never a pro prospect, but someone able to not give the game away.
Because UGA got to UVA first?
Ooh, good point.
Also, of note: QBs transferring from UVA to the SEC seem to work (Lambert). QBs transferring from the SEC to UVA don't (Sims).
Beat me to it! Leg.
Saban taking the cue from Les Miles.
My opinion - Bama's role for the QB prior to LK being hired was more of a game manager than a guy who makes things happen. As a result they were big winners in a defense-first scheme but not prepared to excel at the next level (Greg McElroy retired in 2014 due to injuries, AJ McCarron has yet to do anything in the pros). Maybe it will take a couple more years til a new kind of recruit rises to the surface.
It seems that few "top" program QB's do well in the pros in the last 10 years.
Perspective is relative. If you win a national title 3 out of 4 years, then fail to win two post season games, one where you're a 17.5 point favorite, the second a 9 point favorite, and double your losses in those two seasons, well, there's cause for concern I suppose.
I'll just go ahead and leave this here:
See my post above about Finebaum acting like everything's perfectly normal. He breaks character once.
And what the hell, the South?
No doubt Loeffler is enjoying this Auburn meltdown a little bit as well.
I ran my huband out of da house wit dem catfishers. I sure did. He kept giggling thinkin twas funny.
"He can sleep in there on that recliner, I don care!"
And I thought Phyllis was bad! Great gobs of goose grease, that woman has lost her damn mind!
.
Tammy has got the crazy eyes.
WTF is that?
The two frequent callers to Pawwwllll. Tammy on the keft, the Auburn fan in the clip above. The other is the Bammer lday.
Tammy doesn't have enough on the hot scale to balance out the crazy.
I don't know if there's enough hot in the world to balance out that bat shit crazy!
How did she go from talking about Auburn sucking to having to use her new vibrator?
FRESHMENS. RUN THEM FRESHMENS OUT THERE.
Alabama, more than just an hour behind.
Obviously, there is a Valium shortage in Alabama.
Was that in English?
Oh that is him I associate him with NFL stuff. I always dug his really really big elephant ears. Could not get laid in a brothel.
LMAO. You know she is getting paid somehow And what Swamp is that trailer in. Sure it is a single wide and rented.
We need a Blacksburg Betty!
Tammy had me in tears. You couldn't invent her. I think she puts a little extra sauce on the hot dog, but I sense that's really her. I dvr'd it Monday because my friend, Bob, texted me Sat and said, "Finebaum is going to be pure gold Monday. Someone should put Tammy and Phyllis on suicide watch."
Play the freshmens
Ain't been out of the bed in 2 days
Ain't cooking, doing dishes, or washing clothes
Sent husband out with Shane and the catfishers
Won't sleep with husband til Auburn wins because he was giggling
Wasn't getting none anyway so tried to hire a male prostitute 2 months ago
Going to use her new toy
No one cares like she cares
Squirell from Mississippi followed her up with the line of the day: "She couldn't get a male prostitute? That shows that even those guys have standards."
When both teams from Bammer lose, you can bet that Paul will be able to push the button and find gold!
