haha, what a fucking elementary tactic by Jim Rome...funny as shit though

[mat1419]

honestly, i used to like jim rome back in the day...he turned into a douche though

[preppyak]

honestly, i used to like jim rome back in the day...he turned into a douche though "Somewhere in there...you ceased being Jim and you became Chris"

haha, yeah, he used to be able to play off that style, but there is a point where it got annoying and old

[radiofriendly]

'i bet i do.................chris'


oh, that was priceless. i like Jim Rome. check that, i love jim rome. he's got a decent show on before Horn and PTI.

yeah, his TV stuff is different than his radio show...I think I prefer him on radio actually. He's got the annoying qualities of Steven A Smith, but Jim Rome is actually intelligent, so he can pull it off much better

[Dirty Ernie]

i wish he nailed him

[radiofriendly]

wasn't it rumored that the whole thing was staged though.

I thought so...but either way it's still hilarious.

Rome is definitely better on the radio. Almost all the guys that do television and radio for ESPN are much better on the dial. Greenberg is a bore on Sportscenter, but he's great in the mornings on the radio, Rome is better, and even Screamin' A. Smith's show is halfway decent.

Yeah, with Golic in combo, they are hilarious

Where does "Chris" come from?

But those people are a joke... "I never played a sport, but I sure as hell love watching TV and surfing the internet for stats to make my expert decisions." My dad's next door neighbors are the most unathletic family in the world, but they can tell you the batting order of every major baseball team, how many home runs someone had, how many minutes Kobe played last game, and all this other useless shit. Get outside and do something with your lives.

seems like you're the one that needs to get outside and do something with your life instead of coming into a sports forum and ripping on people who enjoy sports.

Yea, probably. I woke up and came downstairs, and sat down at the comptuer for 5 minutes. I don't do anything with my life but wish I was a sports expert.

And I'm not making fun of your everyday fan, I'm making fun of the people who LIVE sports, but have never gone out and tried to play one. I have a roommate who has ESPN on every single day, but can barely throw a baseball.

chris evert the tennis player i believe right?

[preppyak]

Chris Everett, if I am correct, is a woman's tennis player...so set in comparison to a football player, it's meant to be a very certain dig.

Yep

haha, try being an NFL quarterback and be compared to her

But at the same time, sports are entertainment, so it's understandable for someone to become devoted to a sport or team like people do to TV shows or Movies, or even things like bands.

I agree it can get absurd, but it is one of the hilarious parts of it all

[kidinthecorner]

Haha.

That's such an obscure way to take a shot at someone.

well, in the mid 90's, it wasn't, since Chris Everett was a fairly big tennis player than...and Jim Everett was still not good

[Trainsaw]

wow Jim Rome sucks

[itsjdiggity]

Jim Rome is Burning is awful

especially when he's not there like yesterday when that huge black guy replaced him

[kidinthecorner]

Oh, well I assumed it was relatively recent.

you're right. fuck people for having hobbies.

[bigmike]

i love jim rome. and for that him being so 'tough' he really didn't go after rome that hard at all.

that is like ripping on someone for listening to music every day, but not being able to play a guitar. You are a moron.

[Split2nd]

Rome used to be cool, but now he's a pretentious prick like Colin Cowherd.

i hate cowherd. his show is god awful.

how he got sandwiched between two great radio shows is beyond me.

haha, god I hate his show...it was the only thing on during lunch normally (until I found Rome on another station), I listened for the sheer humor of it all
