Overview

• Speaking on the Stugotz and Company podcast, McShay said he does not trust Finebaum and labeled him a coward.
• McShay says the dispute stems from Finebaum denying his pre-draft character reporting on Jalen Carter, including on First Take where Finebaum said he heard the contrary and named McShay.
• McShay maintains he had extensive, repeatedly checked sourcing on Carter and insists he would not raise character issues without high confidence in his information.
• McShay indicated he would elaborate on the feud on his own podcast, and AL.com reported his two-year ESPN buyout ended Oct. 1.
• Coverage also notes Finebaum has discussed considering a run for the U.S. Senate in Alabama, which elevates the public stakes of the dispute.
