The College Football Playoff National Championship Game is tonight, which puts ESPN host and analyst Paul Finebaum in high demand.
Finebaum joined DiPietro & Rothenberg Monday to discuss the tilt, which eventually devolved into the 98.7 ESPN New York hosts joking about the college football-centric host.
“Paul, you should hear what he says when you’re not with us. He makes fun of you all the time,” Rothenberg said of Rick DiPietro. “I think you’re the greatest. He makes fun of you, Paul.”
“I don’t mind. That’s ok. We had a good run there for a number of years, then you guys dropped me like a hot potato about two years ago when you went to mornings,” Finebaum said. “I had to scrape to make a try to make a living with some of these other ESPN hosts. If you guys wanna take shots at me, take shots at me.”
“It’s not ‘you guys’, it’s Rick,” Rothenberg joked. “I adore you. I’d have you as another co-host if that was allowable.”
“That would be fun. I’m available. You’re day-to-day at ESPN, as you guys know,” Finebaum joked.
Finebaum’s job is likely safe with the worldwide leader. He signed a contract in 2021 that will run through 2024.
