BTN pursuing Finebaum as ESPN contract expires
In case you were wondering if Delany can fuck up the big ten even more:

What exactly would he talk about?
a good point. Has had run ins with OSU, UM, Nebraska and Wisconsin fan bases. Maybe he'll carry water for PSU.....
He would presumably just talk shit about the SEC, ACC and ND?
I would imagine he would become a fanboy of OSU maybe UM. When JH gets things rolling he could act like he got in before it was hip nationally.
Bama! Nick the Dick, Bama thats what he would talk about
This is so idiotic. Finnebaum sucks .
Dear, God. No.
Every week at B1G network's "gameday" to "pick a winner" he'll insert his head into the mascot of the "loser".
I'll watch!
Since it's Finebaum, that sounds really inappropriate for TV.
But Pawwwwl, Baja ain’t played nobody yet, Ohio Sate played Poor Orphans of the Poor and best em gud...
Damn it...
So, every week to "pick a winner", he will insert his head into the backside of the mascot of the "loser"?
Cool, I'll watch!
I love it!!! I want him to be forced to talk about how over-rated the SEC is and how the B1G is the power conference.... I want a little bit of him to die each day on the job!
He can sit with Gerry DiNardo in his nowhere land criticizing Don Brown.
On a side note, Gerry DiNardo has become increasingly annoying when it comes to Michigan football.
Gerry DiNardo has been at peak annoyance since the 90's. When he speaks, I do not listen. He is #1 when it comes to former head football coaches that know jack shit about football. Glen Mason isn't far behind.
DiNardo is an idiot. He makes no sense.
There it is.
This. This is the score I want to settle with a non-rival.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
you're a saint.
BTN has programming besides Michigan games? I had no idea.
Why. Would you ever.
I think the Human Beinz put it best:
"NO NO NO NO NO NONONONO...."
This is the worst idea ever, Finebaum needs to go away
Paul Finebaum's entire identity is wrapped up with the SEC. Moving to flacking for the BIG would be like Bob Ufer moving down to Columbus to do Buckeye games.
Whatever happens to Finebaum, he isn't moving to the BIG.
I'm with you Don, no chance he will pull his head out of the SEC's ass to work for BTN.
This smells like a story planted by Finebaum's agent to get ESPN to step up on finalizing a contract. I can't imagine BTN would really bring this guy on, especially at the dollars it would take.
Well, this makes my thoughts to drop DirecTV for Comcast, without the BTN, that much easier...
He would become Urbz' lap dog. I hear OSU has an endless supply of peanut butter.
Damn it! Someone needs to update this gif if it becomes a reality....
His show is so bad, even ESPN can see it.
He's got a face that just aches to be punched! I wouldn't want Harbaugh to even get in the same room with him!
This is such a Delany move!
Don't get that clown.
This is public negotiating leverage. Nothing more, nothing less. BTN is the worst network for him to play chicken with
Well that would be fun and interesting. I wonder if hes gonna start dissing the sec teams if he joins the network
Please dont let this happen - EVER
I didn't know what greater purpose Pawl had until Le Batard introduce the Finebucket.
Dude looks like a small penis with ears. He has a face for radio. Not tv. He should be covering soccer. In Bolivia.
I can't see BTN anymore anyway, so I couldn't care less.
Dumbest news I've ever read in a long time. And that's an accomplishment.
I agree that this sounds like nonsense. Can you imagine the BTN resorting to TAYKZ for ad dollars?
This reeks of contract negotiations more than anything else. He has no inherent value in B1G country. Relationship with coaches here just wouldn't add up to viewers and his SEC crowd would throw him permanently under the bus. Not that I would mind that but this is not going to happen. Go Blue!!!!
The Big Ten Network is hard to watch now it would be unwatchable with Paul Finebaum on it
And does he bring booger with him, a grown man going by the name of booger and you know how we earned it
This is a case of the desire for controversy trumps quality reporting. I'm sad to see this phenomenon inflict itself into sporps
We all need a break from it all and sporps is where we get said break. That is in Leviticus somewhere.
