Clemson Makes the First Take Cast Look Like Idiots 

Stephen A Smith doesnt need anyone to make him look like a fool. He does that just fine by himself.

This just MADE. MY. DAY. Thanks for the great reminder that being the underdog means absolutely nothing when you've got a great leader like Dabo. ♥

Can Paul Finebaum even throw a ball? Who anointed him a “football expert”?

Finebaum would root for Alabama even if the entire team had scurvy, Tua had broken both his arms and Saban was found to be a reclusive alcoholic

There's a rumor that Clemson is still scoring.

Clemson made bama look just like the rest of the cupcakes on Clemson’s schedule 44-16 and honestly could of been worse if Clemson wanted to run up the score

Beating Alabama by 28? Extremely hard. Hadn’t been done under Saban, so impossible to this point. Making FirstTake look stupid? Simple. Clemson has done it almost every year. Every sport, every good team makes FirstTake look dumb.

lol we rubbed their face in it. Go tigers.

ESPN has an unhealthy love affair with BAMA and the SEC. Sickening. SEC was 6-5 in their bowl games this year. They could have easily went 3-8. This is the problem with ranking teams prior to these teams playing outside of their conference. There is no way to know which conference is the strongest year to year. There needs to be more out of conference games among the Big 5 power conferences.

They got one thing right...Clemson is not BAMA. They are better. GO TIGERS!!!

What Paul Finebaum said about Alabama getting third Downs on 3rd and whatever. That was hilarious because they were stopped on fourth down I think it was 4 times

Finebaum never never never compare Trevor to Lamar Jackson Clemson dominated. Alabama your king got dethroned You should watch more film. Don't worry Trevor can handle the big stage.

Please do not compare Lamar Jackson to Trevor Lawrence.

I think I watch this at least once a day. Love it.

My alma mater Clemson never gets respect, but know one thing, Clemson will do more than earn it, they will take it!

I remember Finebaum was telling Clemson fans in 2017 to do more than win two rings in thirty years. Well, buddy?

Alabama has played a lot of cupcake teams to

God help me, I could watch this every day. GO TIGERS!!!!

I can look at this over and over bc they all were wrong and the morning after poor Paul he really needed to be on somebody sofa

they made Maria look crazy too lol "Kelly Bryant gives them their best shot"

Wondering....did Fibebaum eat his crow roasted, grilled or deep fried?

You just made my day. Being so vocally negative gave Clemson easy motivation to show the "Eye of the Tiger" to all of college football. If you have watched and analyzed every game both teams played, Clemson's dominance vs Bama is not surprising. All year Bama was talked about as the best ever. Easy mistake to make because giving Saban a great QB for the 1st time made Alabama looked invincible for the first 10 games; however, Clemson was unbeatable for the last 10. Alabama's slip started vs the Citadel who went into half tied vs Bama. Alabama didn't dominate both halfs in any of it's last 5 games. They won 5 halves, lost 4 and tied 1 againt a team the paid $500k to play. In the last 10 games, Clemson never trailed at half. Won all the last 10 games by 20+, went 39-1 over the last 40 quarters. Clemson was continuing to peak all the way into the natty because of leaders like Christian Wilkins. Trevor Lawrence knew the team had his back day 1 after QB Kelly Bryant transferred because the teams true leader, Christian Wilkins, took the true freshman QB to breakfast making that statement loud and clear. It was then the turning point happened when Clemson passed the hardest test of the year against our 2nd toughest rival over the last 2 years, Syracuse. This game gave the team a feeling of destiny when Chase Bryce completes a 4th & 6 where the announcer shouted, "Oh don't throw that!" Then Etienne continues to do his +200yd 3TD game by scoring the winning TD late in the 4th quarter. With confidence destiny brings Clemson introduced college football to the start of a great defensive team's evolution to an all time great overall team over their last 10 games. After 9 of those games, and the ease at which Clemson handled Notre Dame. The only flaw ESPN could attack came from giving up 510yds passing vs S. Carolina, but the next week in the ACC Championship Clemson gave up 8 passing yards easily coasting to their 8th consecutive 20 point win. The pass defense was helped by the rival Gamecocks for lighting a fire into our secondary. Even with Clemson's success over the last 8 games, Bama slipping a bit for 3 didn't make the future clear; however, Clemson finally got a test we aced in all facets. This was the point for me Clemson became the favorite vs Alabama. Not saying I predicted a blow out, but I didn't think it would be a 4 quarter game. I'm no expert. I'm simply a drunken, stoned college football fan that paid attention to the trends as I saw them. I've seen a dozen sport RU-vidrs predict this with video evidence. Does ESPN not understand the value of accuracy over idiotic drama. Wow...I'm totally rambling endlessly but hopefully not stupidly. I'll find out later I suppose :P

Not a fan of either team, but congrats to Clemson and a huge thank you for whooping the hell out of Alabama, the most overrated team in the most overrated conference

THIS IS PERFECT! Can someone please get a Finebaum reaction! He reeeeallly stuck his foot in his mouth! 🤣 GO TIGERS!

Lawrence was good enough for Alabama to want him but Clemson IS family and the perfect place for Lawrence!! Go Tigers!!

Paul needs to stay under Saban's desk.

Not even close. Trevor is special.

Stephen A Smith knows absolutely nothing about football. Pro or College.

This never gets old. Love it...GO TIGERS!!!

I won money on this game I had Clemson by double digits and I live in alabama lmfao

How can he even compare Lawrence to Jackson? Jackson was a grade A choke artist. Excelled in games where he could sling to wide open receivers against soft coverage for 400+ yards, folded like a napkin as soon as the chips were down and he was pressured.

Love this show

Was anticipating this video, with so much footage of all the sports anchors feeding the tide narrative this video can have sequels...

2019: Bring it on...

There is no way Finebaum's nickname growing up wasn't "radar".

Fun video... exposing the pro-Alabama BS hype... 4:10 "Tua makes it almost unfair"... LOL !!! ...We Buckeyes endured the same BS earlier in Jan. 2015... 2019 Season will be all Ohio State - Clemson... Alabama has been exposed, figured out, blown away... and other teams will also do it now...

Love this video

Right after the interview ended, Paul Finebaum started flapping his ears and flew away.

Notre dame had a defense that was much better... Seriously not just saying that, they played much better as a group

😂😂😂😂😂 when will they stop sleeping on Clemson?? WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!! GO TIGERS!! And "up yours" Finebaum and ESPN!!!

I love it!!

2 DEEP!

This is beautiful

Love it!!!!! Stop giving Bama a mulligan for playing cupcakes.

What Hoppened!!!!!!😀😁😂🤣🤣😃😄😅

Go Tigers, thanks for the video

Comparing Trevor Lawrence to Lamar Jackson is accurate? Shows how little Paul Finebaum knows about football, let alone the QB position!

Love it.

Great video

You know how rappers make "dis" tracks? There ya go!

✅✅✅ Go Tigers!!!

LOL!! Can't get enough of Paul looking like an idiot!!

Has Alabama changed the city of Tuscaloosa's name to Excusaloosa yet? ALL I heard from their players and fans was, "All Lawrence did was throw up 50/50 balls" ok, and ALL Alabama did was not get 1...one...ONE 50/50 ball....I will, FOREVER, call Tuscaloosa, EXCUSALOOSA, henceforth! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

watching in 2020, love the doubting lamar jackson headline too, never listen to the critics

Best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gives me chills every time I watch it. Go tigers

"I just find [Dwayne Haskins] to be more of a runner than a thrower" -Stephen A. Smith

His extensive football experience obviously served him well!

Finebaum is such a Mook...lol!

#ALLIN we will win another one and another one just wait

That's crazy a true freshman quarterback in his first season behind his defensive destroys probably the best defense in college football

0:49 God dammit Molly. WTF does Lamar Jackson have to do with Alabama vs Clemson?

Shucks; this just came up recommended for me, and now I will paint "Finebam" into a corner on his show everybody in Alabama listens to. Ima be like', "Alllrighty then; Mister Finebam", You got Alabama or Auburn...Pick one, or we all jump on you

Alabama's non conference schedule is so soft they never play anybody outside the SEC. SEC is overrated and has been for quite sometime. How many times do we hear every year how good Tennessee recruiting was and they finish down towards the bottom half of the conference? Clemson was just better prepared to play that night.

Still waiting to play someone... still waiting

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol. How did I know like 90% of the clip was gonna be Paul finebiased. I can pretty much mute the tv when he’s on cause you already know what he’s going to say. God its almost as if the Sec is sending him his paychecks. O wait...

More first take fail videos coming soon!

oh, my

Great video. To be fair, Paul ate crow the very next day.

HaHa. You brought this on yourself Paul. Enjoy it. I know its publicity, but its negative publicity. You Do have shame in your game.lol

Love the line, "Tua makes it unfair." In fairness to Finebaum, the day after the Naty he gave a lot of high praise for Clemson and I can appreciate and respect that knowing he is still a Bama Homer!

Alabama is so good when they beat themselves, they beat themselves 44-16

Now he's done it against Alabama. Nothing better than making all the SEC homers (re: Finebaum) look like SEC homers.

In the last five or so years, Clemson has made it a habit of making football “experts” look foolish!

Stephen A-hole Smith...nailed it. lol. He and that helmet Alabama homer is why I don't watch shows like this anymore.

Paul was right...Clemson isn't Alabama. Nor do they want to be. #WeTooDeep

Wow

There’s only three college football analyst that I think aren’t sec bias and tell it how it is and that’s Joel klatt, Joey Galloway, and Jessie Palmer other than that these people gag on any sec team that has a stadium bigger than 80 thousand

Absolutely love this video!! Ha Ha Ha!! Sport turds..

Fart head finebaum! Tigers , the real Alabama slamma!

I live deep in SEC country and was thrilled to see Clemson put a spanking on Alabama! This just goes to show that a lot of the time these 'experts' don't have a clue what they are talking about.

You guys left off Dabo Swinney favorite target Colin Cowherd

Hiring standards must be real low if any,these are there experts! Please!!!!! ESPN needs to reboot,or better yet boot some of there ( experts) lol

Big ears doesn't mean you know Clemson football ....Boy !!!

Yeah 3rd and whatever 😂😂😂

Stephen A doesn’t need any help sounding like an idiot lol

GO TIGERS!!!

Trevor is the next Peyton

19 people are Alabama fans. #tigernation

🤣

It doesn't matter. ESPN and the SEC hype machine are still making excuses. Bama had a tough schedule and was worn down. They had a tougher semi-final opponent and were tired. Alabama players didn't want to be there, had an eye on the NFL. Alabama didn't have Christian Miller.

Love to shut the mouth of the critical media. Go Paws!

I am Clemson alum but I agree with Paul they haven’t played any tough teams. And after natty, it appears they still haven’t, how blind can you be despite all the hype having been in playoffs they aren’t bama. Maybe not but we are just as good. Apparently Paul can’t evaluate talent on his own he just guesses

For Paul Fineman to be soooooo wrong, how can ESPN still be keeping him on the payroll?

Paul Finebaum obviously had no understanding of the intangibles that make Trevor Lawrence and the rest of the 2018 Clemson team so great, and how they resulted in the 28 point victory. Lawrence so far has been unshakable, teamates like Christian Wilkins have demonstrated great leadership, and Brent Venables' defensive game plan was brilliant. And Finebaum can't even get the past right either; "Alabama (in 2017 championship game)... couldn't make a first down with Jalen Hurts" I guess he missed Alabama's final drive in that game, where Hurts ran for the go-ahead 30 yard TD with 2 minutes left.

Roll Ride

At 4:10 “they have a quarterback who can get first downs from 3rd and whatever” Wrong he can’t even get them in 4 downs

I enjoyed watching Bama get beat like that cuz they been on ttop too long, and was sick of Bama this Bama that!!!! Bama who is what I say

Roll Tigers!
