Hey Jim, Ever consider the swimming is more interesting than listening to you run your cock watmer?

I remember my dad listening to his radio show like 25 years ago. His sentences could have had intermissions. I couldn’t believe he had his own show that people listened to.

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.

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

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.

He gone

LSURulzSEC•50 months

There is an international swimming league? Playoffs?!

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.

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.

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

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.

Godfather1•50 months

I got a fax through once.

He is an idiot

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

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

randybobandy•50 months

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

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