stuvian Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Jim Rome is an overhyped blowhard who has become a sad caricature of his former self. It's astonishing to the extent that his career has plummeted after virtually owning the North American sports talk show market. Maybe ESPN can do a 30 for 30 of how he has squandered away his legacy but laughing at his own lame jokes 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He paved the way for blow hard sports reporters. Once he was playing against the same competition he wasn't as dynamic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 It is crazy how well I remember this- I do not care about Rome or Everett but somehow that is stuck in my head for eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fiend Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Here is the segment from the start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8pAZ75WKh8 What amazes me is a guy half Everett's size was able to life Everett off Rome and break up the fight. See 1:13. Edited February 8, 2020 by The Fiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I don't think too many people questioned if that was fake. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Jim has great interviews and that's where it ends. The rest of his show is so douchey and dumb I'm unable to listen to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Everett wanted to put a scare on Rome but not really hurt him - nothing that would support felony assault, for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Rome is such a tool. I remember watching that when it first aired (live? Not sure). That was the last time I ever watched his garbage douche-fest show. The original troll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I put together his intro video with a white Bronco driving from the airport that played up until he drove onto the then Pilot Field for his buffalo tour stop. It. Was a cool gig at the time since he was at his peak and I was a big time clone lol ... remember Mark from buffalo being the top caller from thi area. I think his sthick got old and others surpassed him , but he was a pioneer of that type of sports talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 He just punked Rome, he didn't want to hurt him. Why are people here offended Everett didn't punish Rome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why anyone would give an eff about anything he has to say. He belongs in the punchable faces thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I remember this at the time. I don't think Jim/Chris was really trying to hurt the guy. He was just putting him in his place and letting him know he could murder him if he wanted to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, like you said he’d hit the mike and laugh at his own jokes. Never liked him and too bad Everett didn’t permanently mess up his smug face.
