He now organizes “The Paul Finebaum Show” on ESPN Radio and appears on multiple platforms, including the SEC network, for the sports channel.

“I spent four hours anesthetized talking about things that didn’t express me. And it kept building that weekend,” said Finebaum. “I felt very empty to do what I did that day.”
