Whether you love or hate Paul Finebaum, you have to admit that he’s never dull…
“I think it’s a consensus among FSU fans and boosters that he was an embarrassment to the University” – Bobby Bowden on Jameis Winston

Does #FSUTwitter agree with Bobby?
Bowden's officially the old grandpa who just speaks his mind without really considering the repercussions.

Sounds like Bowden been listening to that eBay and e-mail and all that junk.

Not so much.
UPDATE: Per TomahawkNation, Finebaum took Bowden’s quote out of context. Here’s what he actually said….
Well, I think it’s a consensus among Florida State fans, and boosters that he was an embarrassment in a lot of ways to the university (emphasis mine). He won a lot of ball games, probably one of the best football players that ever attended Florida State, but he hurt himself off the field. The good news is that he’s young enough to get over that, ya know it, and he’s gotta do that. He just can’t make those junior high school decisions that he made while he was in college.
Obviously Bobby should not have said what he said but it’s also certainly not as inflammatory as it once was. This is why the love-hate relationship many have with Finebaum often moves toward hatred.
