Finebaum extra salty OSU let him down
Mr Finebaum is not chastened this morning. Can’t understand why Michigan fans feel vindicated. Not at all pleased with Day, seems to take his failure to beat us personally.
He is his usual onerous self. Do not watch if Finebaum triggers you too much, but I found it enjoyable to see him stewing after Michigan’s statement W yesterday and thought I would share.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:54 PM ^
He also said this is like a Disney movie, good vs evil. Michigan and harbaugh as the evil, and (get this) Nick Saban and Alabama as the good. Winning these games is paying unfathomable dividends. Enjoy. Every. Minute.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
Finebaum himself is just a petty, reprehensible pundit. Contemptible and pitiful.
But the fact that his shtick sells- including the hilarious inverted Disney narrative you describe- is alarming to me. Like, people who agree with that have jobs, make decisions, drive automobiles on the same public roads I do, their kids go to school with normal people’s kids, etc.
Just wow. Amazing anything in this country gets done at all.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
Finebaum is an all evil schtick version of Dick Vitale.
November 26th, 2023 at 4:51 PM ^
Big difference in that Vitale has coached successfully while Finebaum has never done anything useful or productive related to sports in his life. Hence the evil, I suppose- everything about him reeks of bitterness, jealousy, and resentment.

Not clicking. It's pretty shallow that no matter what Michigan does, he criticizes it. If we lose, he gloats. If we win he minimizes it. It's so obvious that he simply debates the opposing side to anything Michigan or Harbaugh-related just to get more viewers.
Funny (like a clown) how I thought he was an SEC commentator, but he sure likes to stick his nose in our business. You'd think we played in the SEC? He talks more about Michigan than most SEC teams.
He's a no talent parasite, a groupie that would cease to exist if he couldn't second guess others. Like a flea on a dog, or a mosquito.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
he simply debates the opposing side to anything Michigan or Harbaugh-related just to get more viewers.
In that sense, he's like a TV version of Valenti. And should be treated as such.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:18 PM ^
Yeah this is what Michigan winning looks like and it looks beautiful. Feinboner knows that hating on Michigan gives him clicks and views so that’s his schtick. He’s irrelevant.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:44 PM ^
Not giving him the satisfaction of giving him my click.
Finebaum is a man who has made a career out of trolling. That’s his job. If you click on his stuff, he wins. If you’re triggered by it, its icing on the cake for him.
He is the water carrier for the SEC. If Alabama or Georgia had been caught doing this, he would’ve spent the last month talking about how this isn’t a big deal, and if the NCAA had gone after them, it’d be a witch hunt. But its Michigan, and he has a very transparent, personal hatred of Harbaugh.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:18 PM ^
He's the water carrier for the SEC?!?! I thought he was the jock strap washer. My bad.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:46 PM ^
Why would you think it a good idea to post this nonsense here
November 26th, 2023 at 2:03 PM ^
I like seeing him angry
November 26th, 2023 at 1:47 PM ^
LMFAO!!! You can't understand why Michigan fans feel vindicated?!?! You needed someone "reasonable" to explainin it to you?!?! WTF man!!! He had to be just playing dumb because no one can actually be that fucking stupid!
November 26th, 2023 at 2:43 PM ^
Haha. Nailed it
the other guy , sorry not clicking again to remember his name , had to break it down like he was a 5 year old
oh the sweet sweet tears from across espn “analysts” yummmm
November 26th, 2023 at 1:48 PM ^
I’m glad it bothers him so much that Michigan and Harbaugh come out of his mouth as much as Saban and Smart’s penises go in but I just can’t make myself listen to this fool.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:48 PM ^
I like watching this show lately (it is definitely more fun when M is good). The callers provide the humor and Paul provides the pathos.
--this and episodes of squidbillies is a good late night combo.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:48 PM ^
"...cruel, crass, and obscene manner..."
Paul, my dude, do you even listen to your own callers?
November 26th, 2023 at 1:48 PM ^
Finebaum is being disingenuous. He knows full well that Michigan's victory vindicated Michigan. And it wasn't just that they won, but the manner in which they won: Michigan out-muscled and out-coached OSU. Finebaum wants to create an anti-Michigan narrative, but he's swimming against the tide. The consensus this morning is that Michigan proved themselves, and is indeed a great team.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:52 PM ^
Penis Finebaum says these things knowing that he’ll never be confronted in person.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:53 PM ^
Stop giving the carnival barker attention.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:05 PM ^
Just pointing and laughing
November 26th, 2023 at 2:15 PM ^
Yes, that is attention. Stop it. While you got your laughs in he made tens of thousands of dollars from people like you clicking on his link.
November 26th, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
Hate views count just the same. Don't give him oxygen.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:55 PM ^
Show me where on the doll the entire University of Michigan alumni base hurt you
November 26th, 2023 at 1:56 PM ^
How does he feel about the miracle victory by Saban. He is an idiot.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:59 PM ^
“Former players don’t matter because they’re emotional and that’s how they are.”
Paul is clearly in a bad way today. Sheesh.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:59 PM ^
Welllll I knew it was a risk to post this. I’ll take my negs.
That said…the comments are pretty much worth it. I should get at least a few upvotes for the comedic value of our communal response
November 26th, 2023 at 1:59 PM ^
Wow. Spoonfuls of salt from Pete.
Shave that dick head of yours Peter.
Hate to see it.
He looks as dejected as Ryan Day in the tunnel after the game.
November 26th, 2023 at 1:59 PM ^
The guy is a serious pinhead. He has lost all credibility being nothing more than a water carrier for the SEC. I'd bet the majority of talking heads laugh at him behind his back. Guys like Greenie at ESPN are staking losing their own credibility by giving him a platform in which to spot his nonsense. Him and Heather Indiana need to go get a room and cuddle up together with their negative Michigan mantra.
November 26th, 2023 at 3:08 PM ^
I just shuddered thinking of that lovechild. Its forehead would stop just above the asscrack.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:05 PM ^
Wow!
"Extra salty"?
More like battery acid. Goes to town on Michigan, then, absurdly, Rick Flair.
Has enough left over to take shots at FSU.
This guy.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:06 PM ^
Auburn let America down and Finebaum is a pompous little moron. Tigerd is right, Finebaum has zero credibility with anyone who has a clue.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
God I miss Beano Cook…
November 26th, 2023 at 2:07 PM ^
Can't give people like Finebaum attention. It's oxygen to them, can't survive without it.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:11 PM ^
I watched the first couple minutes. No point in discussing Finebaum who is just doing his troll thing.
As for Matt Barrie, I understand what he's saying but I'm still just so frustrated by this take. He's not being logically consistent. He says:
1) Michigan would have been dominant without the sign stealing.
2) Other people say Michigan only won because of the sign stealing.
3) Michigan should not claim a victim status--even though he just noted how we were victimized (other people incorrectly saying the sign stealing was why we beat Minnesota 52-10, for example).
But the real victimization that we reacted to (unmentioned by Barrie) is when the entire conference ganged up on us and misrepresented their own beliefs about sign stealing and bullied the commissioner into violating the conference bylaws in order to kneecap an innocent (as far as anyone knows given the lack of ANY evidence) Harbaugh and therefore also the program.
Matt Barrie seems smart enough that he should be able to understand this. He just finds it annoying that Michigan is able to rightly claim to being victimized.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:12 PM ^
Shithole says what?
He can suck it.
Don't give the dipshit clicks.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:13 PM ^
Who is this guy and why should I care what he thinks?
November 26th, 2023 at 2:18 PM ^
Stop linking the garbage network.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:19 PM ^
Nope.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:24 PM ^
Not sure how the know nothings Pete NotFinebaum or Heather Dimwich keep their jobs!
November 26th, 2023 at 2:25 PM ^
Ack. Accidentally watched that earlier by mistake.
I think his (Finebaum's) particular "genius" is that when you listen to/watch him he really gives off the impression that he means what he is saying and that it's not a troll job. This means that either
a) He really believes a number of profoundly conflicting narratives that are based on (meta) tribal loyalties that require a metric ton of cognitive dissonance avoidance
b) He is a master troll at a sociopathic level
I know that people with this sort of media skillset have been exceedingly successful across a number of fields these days, which is worrisome to say the least.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
Finebaum is a real life Max Mercy, with less charisma.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:38 PM ^
Stopped listening or watching him a LONG time ago..The guy is a SEC Propagandist so his opinions are useless
November 26th, 2023 at 2:40 PM ^
😂 he is so sad even talking about it.
karma is real
November 26th, 2023 at 2:40 PM ^
The ESPN business model involves lots of guys with hyperbolic hot takes who are intentionally caustic and annoying. These quasi-WWF characters drive rage clicks and views. It allows fans to watch and validate their inner worst tendencies. That is how they make money.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:41 PM ^
I'm too exhausted from celebrating with my Vast Network to click on yet another link.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:42 PM ^
That thread makes my weekend. The joy of watching that little old midget squirm is just wonderful. Gee Rick Flair trying to make a name. Hmm Paul, you wouldn't try to make a name for yourself by getting attention.
It will be so fun listening to what he says when we win the NC.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:44 PM ^
He sucks! A SEC hack! He still wants the B1G to disqualify Michigan from the B1G championship game and the playoffs!
November 26th, 2023 at 2:44 PM ^
I would rather bang my head against the wall than watch dickless finebaum.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:45 PM ^
It’s very simple to see this guys entire stick is two things. SEC slappy and M hater both of which make him very popular.
it’s pathetic and kind of feel sorry for the guy that he is so insecure that he has to go to great lengths to be the villain for any sort of attention.
November 26th, 2023 at 2:46 PM ^
I bet Tiny Paul spent weeks working on a magnum opus for when PSU, then OSU beat Michigan and made everything right in his tiny SEC world. Another one into the dumpster, eh Paul?
