For all the times that Paul Finebaum has ripped your favorite team and the B1G conference, fans can get a little bit of satisfaction as the SEC Network host found himself on the wrong end of the wrath of Ryan Clark and Domonique Foxworth.

On Wednesday morning, Finebaum made an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up to talk about the careers of former SEC and current NFL quarterbacks Eli Manning and Cam Newton. Finebaum had a much more positive review about Manning than Newton, and Clark and Foxworth took some exception to the SEC Network host’s words.

The result led to some fiery banter. Below is the clip from Get Up:

Fineabum has taken plenty of heat throughout his career, but most of that comes from his passionate SEC callers — and occasionally Jim Harbaugh’s tweets. It’s rare that we see him take the ripping he received on ESPN, though.

Like he’s done so many times in his career, Finebaum touched a nerve. This time, Clark and Foxworth weren’t having it.
