Kind of sucks. Really never says anything thought provoking and he couldn't be missing the mark anymore with his wanna be smarmy asshole gimmick. His Twitter feed will make your eyes bleed. |

Not great, but not completely full of himself either which seems to be a Score problem for everyone except Boers. |

I can't remember which tweet prompted me to respond to him, but yesterday I had enough and just flat out tweeted to him "Dude, when did the Not Bill Walton/John Madden/Charles Barkley folks take over your account?" He didn't respond. He'll probably block me like David Haugh did....(oh yeah, forgot to mention that...he got mad because I tweeted something to the effect of "Nice, Brian Urlacher is giving it to @davidhaugh on Waddle and Silvy")... |

But Mac, a sports radio legend and luminary, chose him over Goff. |

Goff is funnier, he just needs to slow the fuck down. Probably why Mac went with Finfer. |

Caught a little bit of Huebner and Finer this morning and they were bemoaning the fact that CBS has the Super Bowl this year. They brought up the 49ers v. Ravens Super Bowl and how poorly they though CBS handled the downtime during the power outage. If anyone knows how to gracefully handle adversity live on the air, it's Ben Finfer. |

Ben just has multiple traits going against him. 1. Nasally voice. It is not ear friendly. My voice ain't dulcet tones either, but I don't rely on it as my money maker. 2. Fucking corny. A rigid and monotone delivery is radio hell. He always acts like a guest host instead of, "The Ben Finfer Show". 3. The humor. Or lack there of. He says funny shit, but it is often too subtle or deep for average listener and his producer. Know your audience, smarty pants. 4. Attitude. Always seems burdened with the news of the day or topic at hand and segment. Has to express his emotion instead of it coming thru his voice and language. |

It means this sad motherfucker can't appreciate that he talks about sports for money. Finfer doesn't give his opinion on trivial shit like sports without having an existential crisis. |

It seems kind of strange to be singling out for these criticisms someone who is working essentially as a guest/substitute host, when many of the same things could be said of higher profile sports radio hosts in this town. |

  Does anyone here not drive a Prius or believe we should consider the feelings of terrorists before shooting them. Sports radio related: I don't mind Finfer as compared to some of the Bernstein minions at WSCR. He might not be great but at least it's not Bernstein puppet radio. What happened to Murph? I loved catching him in the car on Saturdays talking about how Ricketts was cheap and Theo had a bad plan. |
