I tried listening to his show awhile back, and didn't see the appeal. I'm not particularly fond of shows that take tons of calls, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I just wasn't "pulled in" like I hoped. I love CFB, but this dude just doesn't do anything for me in that regard. His unabashed bias towards the SEC (and Bama) doesn't help. Only time I'll probably tune in is the Monday after a big Bama loss, just to hear the tears/excuses flow.


Good Lord, I'm a bama fan, and not really a fan of the shows format, but even I would have to turn in if Blake Sims drops a game.

Was that when he was on WJOX?

Yep. He had the weakest show on jox too. The Round Table and hell Al Del Greco show with ole bum ass Jay Barker is better than that shyt.


While I'm at it Jay Barker owe's his whole life to That 92 defense Sherman Williams and Derrick Lassic.

I actually like his show now :manny:

He actually lets callers call in & talk and isn't afraid to have a strong opinion ( I think Herbstreit & Golic going against him so hard is another way of ESPN creating news/drama to drive ratings). Dude knows college football especially SEC football...if you're a fan of the SEC I don't see how you can dislike him

You can dislike his tactics and his fanbase.

One caller said Blake Sims got the starting QB job due to reparations. Now HE didn't say that. but think about how many dumb ass people believe that, that like his show.

Charlie Strong got the Texas job cause he was black. Cmon man.

What makes it good? It's ok at best. his level of success comes from the fact a lot of these people are fukking stupid. and he's smart enough to shut up and let them talk. Well you know what, If that's what you like about sports talk radio. its cool. because you have your choice. but I don't think its a good show.

They were on some show together and Bo telling that bigot that he was just as southern as he is was met with a :smh:

Basically saying that since Bo is black, he can't be a true southerner.
Yeah Finebaum was backing Hank Williams Jr. for that MNF shyt.He almost didn't recover from that one.
