Anyone else listen to the Jim Rome show?

when i was on the road, i would always listen to AM stations (i really don't know why)...

i used to catch him every now and then. i thought he was annoying, especially when on one show he said Golf wasn't a sport. that pissed me off - that's the only sport i can actually play.

 

I prefer my local sports radio guys. I've checked out Rome on TV. Some of his stuff just comes across like he is trying too hard.

I've listened some, watch him others. I can take him in small doses... But, his obvious LA slant kinda bugs me.

Earth to Romey, the rest of the country is listening to. Maybe you might wanna throw in a Pittsburg reference here & there, so the rest of us don't fall asleep.

Hack, out.

PS, I like our local guys, too. Why? We get Kirk Herbstreit!

 

I was Jim Rome is Burning on ESPN sometimes. Does that count?

 

yeah, but Brad, you just don't understand.....he really...really...really hurt me.



this was quite some time ago (prolly about 7 or 8 years ago), so i'm sure my tastes in radio and talk shows have changed since then.

 

I love when he bags on "Raider Fan"!

HILARIOUS!

 

I really, really hate sports talk radio. But I really dig the Rome show. But I really only listen to it when I'm driving in my Mustang, with an am only radio.

 

I'm a Clone. I don't call in or anything but I listen in the car.

Great show but it takes a couple of weeks for new listeners to understand all the gloss.

Me too.

I loved it when he goes off on Hacksaw too. GOODNIGHT NOW!

He hasn't picked on him in a while.

 

Signed Darryl Strawberry?

 

I listen to him sometimes during lunch. I have to be in the right mood to listen to him. He does make me laugh. His take on salesmen always gets me, as I used to do sales and he is right on the mark.
I really dont like his interviews, he really seems to suck up to the guests, which is strange if you remember the "Jim/Chris Everette" situation.

He is good for a laugh.

 

Personally, I find him pendantic and formulaic. I've listened to him many times, and his "routine" seems to consist of raising his voice, speaking firmly and confidently without much to say, and repeating the same joke over and over until someone finds him funny. His interviews are soft and pandering, he seems to lack any "real" sports knowledge, relying more on the pop sports info, and seems to be trying too hard. I don't hate him or anything, it's just, he's so boring to me I'd rather listen to dead air.

 

Me too.

 

I heard the Bill Hung mail today!
