Paul Finebaum Responds To Mike Leach
Paul Finebaum responded to Mike Leach recently.
Leach found himself in hot water last week after a tweet he sent out that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
In the tweet, Leach retweeted an image fo a female knitting a noose.
He subsequently apologized.
This week, Finebaum weighed in on what transpired.
I sincerely regret if my choice of images in my tweets were found offensive. I had no intention of offending anyone.

“Yeah, I would say that it may end up being a blip,” Finebaum said.
“Now, if we weren’t going through what we were currently going through, I think he would be in trouble.
Because some of the things that were said about him on national programs Friday were downright scary, but I think the audience for national sports right now is so minimized and marginalized, that I suspect that Leach will survive.”
It remains to be seen if Leach will face any other punishment for his tweet.
