TOPIC: Jim Rome

Post 1 of 13
I know I've heard at least one of you express a dislike for Rome before.

Love him or hate him, though, you've got to watch this clip. I have been hearing about this for years, but just now have seen it for myself.

The guy who he's interviewing is Jim Everett, NFL quarterback. He had been referring to Everett as "Chris Evert" (a womens tennis star) on his program, as a putdown because Jim Everett had had several concussions and was talking about retiring from football.

Does this girly scuffle not seem slightly staged to anyone? If someone came at me that slow it would be game over...

That was rather amusing. I rarely laugh out loud when viewing things like that....
That's so NA.

I kind of thought so too, but ESPN fired him over this incident, so I don't know.

And now he is back on ESPN.... hmmmm where's Ewic and Hereiamagain to fill us in on the obvious conspiracy here. Word on the street from Larry Briton says Rome was whisked away by black helicopters to the Free Mason's World HQ deep under neath the Washington Monument. But then again, I stopped sniffing glue today...

You know what I like about ESPN? The commercials. I don't care for sports.

Except football a few weeks ago. Getting tackled is fun.
That's so NA.
