JOX had no competition for too long and got lazy. The mid day shows talked more about what they watched on television last night than sports.

Scab has reinvented himself and is like Finebaum light. Why he took so long (and abuse from just his articles) is a mystery. He and FBomb at the same station will be undisputed leader.

I will offer something here. I am not any kind of expert …. but I known the parties involved. I want to state the obvious. There will be no record 7 figure contract. Not in this economy. No matter what his new 10 percenter Agent wants….. that is not going to happen. The divorce trail surfaced some disturbing facts. He never met his numbers or revenue to void the contract. The numbers are Industry recognized. Yes… they are ..suspect…. but it is what it is. The media properties in Birmingham … were put up for sale by Cox…… PFRN footprint is severely diminished by this. There will be no move to the Zone. To generate the money Paul needs …. he has got to be on a major radio network or Television. I am going to offer something that I think that is a reasonable bet….. Paul will be back on XM only…. until all the dubious pieces fall in. My best guess is that Pat Dye Jr. — the ex- agent….. agreed to a no compete for XM … that was a tactical mistake….. I think that he will have to syndicate the show for Radio…… to get the audience…… and go the CBS- Brando route…. to supplement……. I close this by stating the obvious….. he is not going to get 7 figures….. I hope he does… because I want to see all friends do well….. as far as these “entertainment ” callers that Ray referenced as noteworthy…… they are pond scum.

He needs to bring back Vickers. He was great!

The fake Dustin Hoffman interview is by far my favorite Lochamy moment. To think that idiot ran for mayor of Hoover.

He needs to grow some shoulders if he’s gonna be a TV bubba. Mighty scrawny to be seen talking about sports – I guess it’s OK to just be heard that scrawny.

I agree. I quit listening to Finebaum so much because of the callers. I know that was part of what has driven his show to new heights, but I think I would like a more serious show based around his observations and great interviews with the various quality guests he can get and a lot less of the caller feuds with him stirring the pot.

bob lochamy, don from downtown, B. O. B., roger from bessemer, eric ramsay promising paul he’d be back, tonya harding’s “refreshment chairman”, mike from center point, mildred, (i literally ran off the road laughing one afternoon listening to mildred’s story of getting a yeast infection from a coon dog that nosed her crotch while sitting on her front porch) the faux dustin hoffman interview, jim from crestwood, jim from tuscaloosa, shane, bobby from homewood, Iman, vicker’s laughing.

He is a great interviewer and honestly, I love hearing his opinions more than the callers. During the early days, his opinion drove the show more than callers. His opinion was usually filled with information about the inside situation involving schools.

I enjoyed the guests that fbomb had on his show but most of the callers were very hard to take.
