ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum joins The Stephen A. Smith Show to discuss why the sport isn't very big in Boston and New York City, as compared to places like Alabama and Tennessee. Finebaum also discusses the coaching hires of Kevin Sumlin at Arizona, Herm Edwards at Arizona State and Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M, the hopes of the Wisconsin Badgers in the Big Ten, and the NFL future of Saquon Barkley with the New York Giants and Baker Mayfield with the Cleveland Browns.

He torched a solid healthy Ohio State team at home. Saw this dude up close and he's for real!!!

[Kornelius]

Imagine making filthy amounts of money being a damn sports opinionist and commentator.

[jrjcarl]

Of course he's not buying, Baker didn't play for an SEC school.

[fulaan]

Baker seems like the real deal to me. But that’s just me.

[ryandieter]

guys like Paul are why ESPN is slipping and FS1 is growing

[nonsense]

Finebaum disses Mayfield's chances in the NFL, but if it was Tua he'd be drooling all over himself saying what a great pro prospect he is

[MGaluski]

Paul doesn’t even watch the nfl cuz none of the teams are in the SEC

[HendersonHinchfinch]

Mayfield looked solid during the preseason. I know it’s only preseason, but he showed some nice things.

[michaels]

The more hate the more powerful he gets.

[slimreaper]

Baker has the best stat line of any QB ever, Oklahoma= QB University

[dankburrito]

He's not buying Baker because he smashed the SEC too muc h.

[eazy_oh]

Lol isn’t he also the guy that said OU had no chance against Alabama in the sugar bowl?Guy needs to shut his mouth.

[damitrimoore]

Paul looks like my accounting professor

[wesleypipes]

Baker looks like a young steve young he just needs to be NFL polished✊🏾

[cncaliguy]

Mayfield is the real deal and numbers he had in college are proof he won't be a bust. The real question is if he is a middle of pack QB vs franchise #1 QB.

If anything Mayfield gives the Browns a good string of years of serviceable QB play.

[erickreyes]

Keep doubting Baker I love it! Puts more of a chip on his shoulder!!!

[LegionOfEclaires]

I think the Browns will surprise a lot of people and somehow have a decent year. Probably won't make the playoffs but they'll be ok. I mean, the bar is set pretty damn low after the last couple of years..

[lookingglassmath]

Now that we've seen Baker in action, I think Paul needs this question brought up again.

[TheRayohio]

Whenever Finebaum comes on i just turn channel, you guys should do the same. Somehow i think he has a rebel flag tramp stamp.

[I_SupaNova]

Same way in Oklahoma. We have the Thunder for pro sports and that’s it. College football is king here and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Nothing beats watching the Sooners on Saturday’s.
