Todd McShay Escalates Paul Finebaum Feud, Calling Him a 'Rat' Over Jalen Carter Dispute

McShay says Finebaum undermined his vetted Jalen Carter reporting without seeking comment.

Overview

  • With his ESPN buyout expired Oct. 1, McShay used recent podcasts to detail his grievances and label Finebaum a "coward" and "rat."
  • McShay says his 2022 character concerns about Carter were based on multiple checked sources and “two full pages” of incidents.
  • After the January 2023 Athens crash and March charges against Carter for reckless driving and racing, McShay says Finebaum still dismissed his reporting on air.
  • McShay contends Finebaum told audiences he could not find anyone to corroborate the report and never contacted him or invited him on to explain.
  • Coverage notes Finebaum has said he is considering an Alabama Senate bid, adding political resonance to the public dispute.
