GeauxSioux Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I first heard Jim Rome on the radio about ten years ago while on the road for work. I listened to it for about half an hour and had to turn it off, as it had to be one of the stupidest shows I had ever heard. "Clones" calling in with their "take". Rome saying the same thing over and over again for 5-10 minutes, trying to sound intelligent. I ran some errands yesterday, station surfing, and heard him on the radio talking about the kid from FSU that killed two people and was likely on some drugs. Rome spent five minutes talking about it, saying since the kid was not an athlete he wasn't going to talk about it. How is this man still on the radio? Who listens to him? Maybe I am just too old and not enough of a sports nut, but I just don't get the appeal of Jim Rome's show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you've seen the feud him and Harbaugh are in, but its hilarious. He rips on Harbaugh for being arrogant.

The Sicatoka Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Jim Rome has a shtick. Love it or hate it. Every person on radio has a shtick. Love it or hate it. Like a guy I know who has owned a couple radio stations told me once: every radio has two knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I feel like Jim Rome gave rise to neanderthals like Skip Bayless. How that guy gets over 3 million a year is beyond me. I personally quit watching any "news" show on ESPN because he was on their station. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont want to be lumped in with the likes of Skip Bayless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
