Tim Brando is from Shreveport, Louisiana and he's very proud of it — for reasons I don't understand because, well, it's Shreveport. Anyways, Paul Finebaum and his producer poked fun at Shreveport on Finebaum's radio show today as they discussed the Duck Commander Independence Bowl between Miami and South Carolina.

Tim Brando took this very personally and launched into a tremendous Twitter rant that involved him yelling for Finebaum to call him so he could defend Shreveport's honor(?), and also threatened to talk down about Bristol, CT even though Finebaum is now based out of Charlotte, NC.
Seriously, look how angry he got about this. Finebaum really can bring this out in anybody. Check out how Tim Brando went from 0 to 100 real quick and morphed into Phyllis from Mulga.
@finebaum layoff my hometown and tell your Producer to as well! It's this rhetoric that has no place in our Industry.SEC has a deal! Got it

Your Producer made but Shreveport. Who knows nothing about my hometown. We're friends and expected more from you!

Paul knows my number but he won't call because I'm not one of his Corporate BOYS! Paul's done this before but it's no less CHEAP! A shame.

Days after Christmas yes...who scheduled the game Paul? Garbage.

I'll defend my hometown until my dying days. @finebaum made a horrible error allowing his rookie Producer to take him down a horrible slope!

.@dannyjhowell1 not when my hometown is defamed AGAIN! NO! I do defend it. I've lived in Bristol....do thy have a Bowl? Enough is enough.

Hurrying away from the incredibly horrid comments about Shreveport @finebaum now turns to a Sports Business guru to justify the criticism.

Beneath contempt!

Let's see ESPN owns the Bowl system. @finebaum works for them, but not selling tickets at S.Carolina is Shreveport (my homes) fault. Please!

Brando's like one step away from telling Finebaum to meet up with him so they can throw hands. You want to catch this fade, Finebaum, you know the number.
