Paul Finebaum issues strong response to Shelley Meyer’s tweet bashing him

Last week, SEC Network host Paul Finebaum said he thinks this could be Urban Meyer’s last year at Ohio State, saying he could walk away like he did at Florida.
Meyer’s wife, Shelley, took issue with that, blasting the popular host on her Twitter page.
“He gets NONE OF MY ATTENTION. Should get no one else’s either. I don’t listen or watch him or his network anymore,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
On Wednesday, Finebaum made an appearance on ESPN and responded to Meyer, calling her out for deleting the tweet in a hilarious way (via The Spun):
“After Urban was asked about it Monday, Shelley Meyer deleted the tweet … deleting seems to run in the Meyer family,” Finebaum said. “Remember the deleted texts? Now Shelley Meyer … I don’t believe in deleting a tweet. If you say something, everybody already knows it and it’s been disseminated across the country. I don’t know what to say to her. I know her fairly well. She’s a nice woman. I think she has bigger problems right now dealing with what Urban is going through than to slap back at me.”
This catty back-and-forth between the Meyer family and Finebaum is heating up. However, it’s unlikely Shelley responds to Finebaum this time around.
