Finebaum and Netflix Doc

You mean like Tobias and Zech MacIvey?

 

This is the bigger problem. It's not that Finebaum wasn't a player or a coach or anything; it's that he is a character he created for himself who plays a role. He's not like Tony Barnhart or a similar old school newspaper guy who could legitimately claim to be a neutral expert observer. He could have been that had he chosen a different path 25 years ago or so but he didn't.

 

I grew up in south Florida and can verify that you are literally correct. I was just sharing an old quip.

 

(Probably not appropriate for the 'Gas)

 

Really? Don’t like native Floridians?

 

My parents moved down to Vero and it doesn’t take long to go far enough west to get back to real Florida

 

'Real Florida'? Not sure what that means.

I was born in SWFL, went to college in Gainesville, worked in Miami/FTL, have relatives in Orlando/Lakeland/Jax and have retired in the Tampa area. All different and all part of the real Florida in my book.

 

Finebaum is a troll who hates the Gators, but let's not pretend like you've had to have played football to recognize greatness or crap when you see it.

We all know it's a violent game and it's a difficult game. Only allowing a critical eye from people who have played before is just not how sports work, nor should they work.

There's stupid critiques from people who have no idea what they're talking about or how difficult something is, and that's irritating, but a lot of former players offer stupid insights and a lot of people who never played offer fair observant critiques. I care a lot more about the words someone says than who says them.

 

He embellishes everything to always make us look worse.
1. If we're not winning a championship, coach will get run out of town due to the high expectations, but they're also a loser because anything short of a championship is a failure in this conference according to Finebaum.
2. If we are winning a championship, we're untouchable, and other teams might as well not bother showing up. Then when we lose, the narrative is that we dropped the ball as though the standard is perfection every year despite never having been accomplished in our 100-year history as a program.

 

as prevuiously stated, SEC fans. that's not hard to figure out

many here thought Urb's lines were scripted, many probably were. The story line that he didn't know about Tebow was completely unbelievable. Scripted or not, that line made him look incompetent.

 

I mean, obviously I understand what he meant, but the delivery was just so pompous. As if Finebaum is the arbiter of what's acceptable in the SEC. Isn't Saint Saban from West Virginia, anyways? I wonder if he said the same things about Nick? (He didn't.)

 

are you talking about Finebaum or some posters on this board?

 

Finebaum. lol.

 

I gues in referring to what Florida was before it became a row of condos and tourists. The entire state is still fairly rural besides a few cities. Get to the rural areas and you’ll find people that have been here for generations. The cities are full of transplants and is more of that ”melting pot” of cultures from all over. Florida not too long ago was a very southern state. Jorts aren’t a thing in Miami for certain. Big city life isn’t old school Florida is all I’m saying. When I live in SoCal, people thought Florida was like Miami Vice all over the state. That’s nothing even similar to what it’s really like.

 

I think now the prevailing sentiment could be that every other person is a "Florida man", high on bath salts trying to eat your face.
