Paul Finebaum says Lane Kiffin has dumped him for Stephen A. Smith

Paul Finebaum opens up about his complicated relationship with Lane Kiffin in an entertaining interview with Jimmy Traina on the Traina Thoughts Podcast.

Where do Finebaum and Kiffin stand today? Finebaum reveals stories about their private text messages, explains how ESPN's Stephen A. Smith became involved in their group conversation, and jokes that Kiffin may have replaced him with another high-profile sports personality.
