Jim Rome

[kbauer]

He comes up from time to time in here and there seems to be a lot of mixed opinions about him. Personally I like him. Though most of his takes are just scripted (well Im guessing because theyre identical on Jim Rome is burning) I think theyre funny as hell. Hes very entertaining, great interviewer and the clones are usually funny if they stay in the bounds of good taste.



Like him or hate him? Give me your thoughts.

[DaveFeelsRight]

useless...just like the white sox

[we are cured]

^^ haha

[CarlMonday]

[blimpcityhero11]

I hate Jim Rome...

dOVxitMy47c

(I wish he choked him out... haha)

[Trainsaw]

don't like him. I used to hate Colin Cowherd too but as of late have found myself agreeing with him more and more. I listen to sports radio more than music as of late

[jaimej]

useless...just like the red sox
Fixed.


;-)

Oh, and I fucking hate Jim Rome.

[Smithers]

Fixed.

M-(

well, his takes shouldn't differ from radio to tv...that would make him a flip flopper.
but i love him. listen to him as much as possible. Sometimes i dont like his opinions on certain things...but nobody can agree on everything.
He's funny, he's the only sports talk host that can keep my attention, he's the only one that seems to treat the guests with real respect (besides Jim Everett), and he's the only one that wont laugh in your face at the word "hockey".

[thejetstolehome]

indifferent. i'm not particulary fond of him but i also don't mind him THAT much.

[Broken Parachute]

I actually like him sometimes.

[Broken Parachute]

He totally attacked that one..like..I attack four syllable words. In-credible. Un-stoppable. Un-believable. Count...CHOOCCCCULAAAAA.

haha he'll go off on things like that and its freaking hilarious.

the manual buzzer is gold.

[katcherbball]

I like Jim Rome. I think a lot of his stuff is really funny.

[thatwasamoment]

only liked him in the blink 182 video.

[Broken Parachute]

haha he'll go off on things like that and its freaking hilarious.

the manual buzzer is gold.Thans for coming on to the show, let' me just start off with ...What's...up? Where ya been? How are things in the clubhouse? And what..is going..oooooooooonnnnnnn?

He never shuts up it seems like hahaha Frank Caliendo's impression of him is spot on.

[fire on my lips]

Rome hates football (soccer) for no reason and he is a huge prick about it and with anyone who disagrees with him. So i hate him.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

I really like Jim Rome on the radio, but can't stand watching Jim Rome is Burning.

Sorry dude but his takes on european soccer are hilarious. He used to be that way with nascar and he completely flip flopped when it gained mainstream notariety, now he talks like hes an expert and does nothing but praise it when he dosent know shit about it.

I guess my point is, one day soccer might become popular and if it does, he'll knock it off.

Probably wont though.

That's worse. He's an asshole and a homer.

haha he's always saying. well looks like another soccer player is getting carted off the field for a kick to the shin. Everytime one of these guys coughs they get a stretcher brought in for them and are carted off to the hospital.

but my favirote:

my son came home the other day from soccer practice and said, dad I dont wanna play soccer anymomre, its not fun, i dont like it.
Usually I would tell him something like, quitters never win, or just hang in there for the rest of the season, but this time was different, this is what i told him.

good, im glad to hear it.

haah

[tambo41187]

I dont mind him but its so frustrating to listen to his show though because he wont ever let things go, the short takes, and constant commercials.

I think he is funny though, every once in awhile he hits gold.

[FondestMemory]

fantastic radio personality.

medicore tv personality.

[soundofthebrown]

find him annoying.

[leftstranded]

3s8BZjcP3qU
wow. i've never seen that before. and it was spot on. holy shit

rome says some things that make my scratch my head. but for the most part i like where it comes from

[yeknom]

He's ok. Some retarded "takes" though. Mostly about soccer; but his sound bytes are kickass.

[somethingyellow]

Rome hates football (soccer) for no reason and he is a huge prick about it and with anyone who disagrees with him. So i hate him.my exact opinion

That's my exact problem with him. THAT NEVER HAPPENS. Most football players are very tough. A player (Hossam Ghaly) on the club (Tottenham Hotspur) I follow got kicked in the face earlier this season. He broke his nose and lost three teeth. He spent a few minutes on the sidelines, changed his jersey and finished the game.

I very much doubt that Jim Rome has ever watched a competitive football match. He's the epitimy of ESPN. All he watches are highlight shows of players diving. Is diving a problem in football? Yes, but it doesn't over shadow all of the sport's bright spots as Rome would make it look.

now for your favorite:

that just shows that Rome hates the sport so much he has no problem with his son quitting his team. I doubt his son would have decided to quit so easily the team if father and son kicked the ball around . . .

"Duuuuude. Which Pennsylvania High School do you have your eyes on next? Altoona High? huh-huh. I cracked myself up with that one."


And I'm pro Jime Rome. I think he and I are pretty similiar in our sports opinions and he cracks me up.

I'm not sure where you're from, but its pretty unsusual for father and son to "kick the ball around", at least as far as I know.

and yea, hes probably watched a few world cup matches, i tihnk he made that comment during one of the games actually. but yea, that seems like flopping to me, otherwise, thats prety bad.

[Scott Weber]

Haha I was going to post the Jim Rome impression but somebody beat me to it.

[daftknight]

Likewise. But whatever, I'll post another one...this time Caliendo (as Rome) interviews an exaggerated Al Davis. He drops a few good one-liners.

As to the real Jim Rome, I don't hate him, namely because I haven't seen/heard a ton of his stuff. Granted, he is a douche, but he does tell it like it is at times.

[preppyak]

but i love him. listen to him as much as possible. Sometimes i dont like his opinions on certain things...but nobody can agree on everything.

Yep...same opinion here...I used to listen to him all the time during lunches
haha he'll go off on things like that and its freaking hilarious.

the manual buzzer is gold.
Manual Buzzer and "Give me back my son"
don't like him. I used to hate Colin Cowherd too but as of late have found myself agreeing with him more and more. I listen to sports radio more than music as of late
I find Colin Cowherd to be generally the least informed sports talk radio host...give him college football, he's golden, give him anything else, he's a hack. The show where I officially vowed to never turn him back on was when it was I believe Final Four weekend for basketball, NBA and NHL seasons were in full swing, and the Masters was coming up...and he led off making the whole first hour a discussion of someobody's pre-season College Football poll...5 months before the season even starts

[FondestMemory]

cowherd admits that he's a college football guy though. he'll never deny that.

i used to loathe him, but i'm starting to tolerate him more.

he just talks during his show. doesn't matter about what. he just goes on tangents. he'll go entire segments without even mentioning sports. sometimes it can be somewhat entertaining.

he's a complete pompous ass though. dude's had a silver spoon in his mouth his entire life and has no understanding of people who haven't.

[Zeran]

i think he's a pompous ass that doesn't really have an opinion other than what the sheepshaggers at espn tell him is mainstream, or whatever.

[Ambulance X]

3s8BZjcP3qU

He got the routine right, but he sounds NOTHING like him.

[preppyak]

i think he's a pompous ass that doesn't really have an opinion other than what the sheepshaggers at espn tell him is mainstream, or whatever.
Do you mean that for Jim Rome?

Do you realize he isn't nationally syndicated as a radio talk host (his primary job) for ESPN....instead I believe he is Fox Sports actually...or the like

[livethesounds]

i think he's a pompous ass that doesn't really have an opinion other than what the sheepshaggers at espn tell him is mainstream, or whatever.

yea, i dont know i your talking about cowheard or rome, but if you're talking about rome i think youre pretty off base.

[kbauer]

just all the soccer regulars hate him because he hates soccer, but i hate espn for the same reason regarding hockey so i get that. though espn just ignores hockey, rome is vicious towards soccer.

manual buzzer+romes micheal jackson impersonation ftw.
