ESPN New ultra hype of Finebaum

Seeing the new Crystal Paul segment this season. Seeing where he was dead wrong on Tx and ND...where he doubled down.  Liked Bellicheat tonight.  The entertainment focus,appeal just keeps on growing.  Don't know how many commercial laden,drawn out games like Mia gonna be able to endure.

Last year,in both CFB and NFL, commercials were being run over,causing audience to miss live plays. Not good. Imo..

 Of further interest, I have an acquaintance,MD now, who played QB for Carolina many yrs ago. And was team MD for yrs. Ortho.  Saw at coffeeshop this morn.  Asked him bout tonight. Who knows. But one thing he did mention,in talking to teammates who have kids on the team now, he said they have said they r learning a Tremendous amt about FB, huge leap over anything before.  Which I would have expected. Now,how this translates to W and Ls will be seen. So,be interesting. Asked him if  Billicheats young gf was gonna be asst coach, he laughed. That whole debacle didn't go over real well...in more ways than one.

And lastly,for those Duke haters out there, did not hear impressive things re K. My friend was team coach here too and friend of Dean Smith. Having read book on K, I can concur. Any man that tells Coach Smith during game " fk you Dean " unequivocally is an AH. Every other word...

Finebaum  comes through again !   ESPN gonna have day of mourning tomorrow  after  Mr Charisma's azz whooping . Could hear the deflation in their voices big time before the half. As they started making excuses. 

Fading "experts" can be a technique all it's own.

There was a guy who posted a few years ago who used "experts" at a New York newspaper, might have been the NYC Daily News...there were 8 or 10 of them, and when >75% were on one team he faded them.....he hit over 60% for a couple of NFL seasons.

You can do the same on CBS Sportsline where are numerous ex-players and ex-coaches making picks....the more courageous of sites use the pointspread in making their picks, and the scared d'cats just pick a team to win straight up....they are typically a very good fade.

He's already longing for the days on SEC Network talking about Alabamy day in and day out. Seems like a nice guy though.
