I remember trying to call in his show way back in the early 2000's thinking i was being funny. The screener heard what I had to say, and told me that I should take up tennis instead.

I got a fax through once.

I thought Chris Everett beat the sh!t out of this guy about 25 years ago.

TexanTiger68•50 months

I've always enjoyed his show as far back as '96 but if that would have never happened, Rome would have never happened.

TigrrrDad•50 months

I can’t look at Jim Rome and not immediately think about that incident. It’s like a blatant scar across his face every time I see him.

RyneFrisco•50 months

You mean JIM Everett?

Rack him.

Godfather1•50 months

Have a take. Do not suck.

Black n Gold•50 months

How sports commentator of him to be angry that he's getting knocked off of TV by actual sports play.

Animal•50 months

Not a Rome fan but I don't get the logic either. IF CBS thinks swimming will draw more viewers then why the hell do they even have Rome on the air at all?

PhilK•50 months

They decided a few years ago that sports needed to be gayer so they are working toward that end.

saban n bear•50 months

Rome still has a show. For that to happen, people still view this show and listen to Rome. America is so stupid.

ExpoTiger•50 months

Can’t believe this guy is still paid to be a douchebag.

NPComb•50 months

Rome is burning... Rack'em!

SeanLSU•50 months

I can't stand the cadence of how he speaks on air and how he repeats the same thing over and over while making his points. It's like he's constantly trying to stuff 10 seconds of thought into 30 minutes.

PANTHER•50 months

He is an idiot

CuyahogaTigerJr•50 months

I haven’t listened to him since 09 Like stern is he still around?

Tigerfan1274•50 months

Not a fan but not sure I can call him an idiot. He has a net worth of $75MM primarily from talking about sports for 3 hours a day.

Shaq4prez•50 months

I had no idea this dude still existed. Swimming sounds much better than that clown. Dude still probably cries himself to sleep at night over the ghost of Jim Everett

Skinny•50 months

Started listening to Rome and the Dan Patrick Show in summer of 2000. Crazy they are still doing this.

Zarkinletch416•50 months

Jim Rome is an a-hole. There I said it.

Tactical1•50 months

I didn’t know Jim Rome was even working anymore.

Diamondawg•50 months

Now that's a name I haven't heard in years but I don't listen to sports' talk - especially of the national variety because almost exclusively talk pro sports which abhor.

TFH•50 months

Rome will end up getting fined by the FCC for resorting to broadcasting on amateur radio

holmesbr•50 months

This was Rome's shtick in the mid to late 90's when the radio stations wouldn't play all 3 hours.

Godfather1•50 months

Yeah, I used to enjoy listening to The Jungle from 11 am - 2 pm 20+ years ago, but he’d really crack hard on the affiliates that didn’t carry the whole show.

DashRipRock•50 months

He has 10’s of listeners.
