Finebaum going to Charlotte; 50 miles North of Gaffney
Paul Finebaum is taking his jocktalk to Charlotte N.C. I've known about this UTenn grad for sometime, a legend in Bham who was subject of a New Yorker profile last December, but didn't follow him much at all till last fall.
In October I called in and Talked to Bama QB, now Jets roster and Rhodes Scholar nominee Greg McElroy, "one Rhodes Scholar to another".
Finebaum said: This ought to be good. But with my first sentence I made a believer out of both of them on air. You can check my October 2012 archive for a report.
Moving to Charlotte, some Gaffney Indian ought to displace the Georgia Caller. Should just be a matter of time before they gin up a Hoover, Bama/Gaffney Indian preseason opener.
Bama will miss him for sure; and Coach Nick Saban and Pat Dye may never be the same; some of their luster goes with Finebaum.
But he's in Charlotte now. Knows who Cormac McCarthy is and that's rare for a Bama Fan.
Just a matter of time before Paul finds Bridges BBQ on Bypass 74 east of Shelby. Who knows they may put his picture up where Jesse Helms and Billy Graham used to be.
Here's a link; and do google the New Yorker piece; Reeves Wiedeiman or some such wrote it.
