Finebaum and Netflix Doc

IMO he had no right being in the documentary. His head is so far up Saban’s ass, if he had hair it would tickle Saban’s throat. I wish Pat had more air time

 

It's cute that you think what he said were his words. He was told what to say and how to say it. Even admitted it on his show after the series landed.

 

The rest of the nation probably sees him as the talk show voice of the south. Every dumb redneck down here seems to call the show.

 

The rest of the nation also typically does not regard Florida as “the south”. So they can’t have this both ways - but they’ll try

 

They have no idea. Where I live in Florida is the south and old Floridians are southerners.

 

I largely agree. There are some pretty crappy critics out there, but there are also great ones who understand the history of the topic and can contextualize a certain work within that greater history. However, I think there is a difference between someone who has dedicated their professional lives to studying a field in depth and some a-hole on the internet who got popular just for a willingness to drop hot takes with a little charisma.

 

Absolutely. They know nothing

 

Then they are wrong. The old adage about Florida, "The further north you go, the farther South you get."

 

They think Florida is snowbirds and foreigners I guess.

 

They show their ignorance. I’m a born & raised Floridian and lived all over the state. Fished the panhandle, Suwannee River, the Gulfstream, the Gulf, the Keys, and Okeechobee. This state changes significantly as you move from one region to the next. The Yankees got no clue what they’re talking about when it comes to Florida

 

Very true

 

True on the coasts, but ever been to Pahokee? Clewiston? LaBelle, Arcadia, Plant City. From my experience, those towns are legit "southern."

 

Anywhere that has original Floridians. The transplants are clearly not southerners.

 

Not sure what an original Floridian is, but I have a thought about it. Am not going to push that issue.

 

I wax born here but my parents weren’t. I’d say the ones that have been here for generations. Florida before tge influx of transplants. They are getting rare.

 

You’re being baited into a trip to too hot.

 

Never happen

 

Other than him having an inordinate amount of disdain for Meyer, my main issue with him on the doc was that he was in ultimate cliche mode and had nary an interesting thing to say

 

Most of Florida is legit southern. Only the big cities and coastal tourist towns aren’t as much
