My life's motto is "Mean People Suck"

Therefore Rome SUCKS!

Chupacabra Sandwich: Also, Ron Wolfley blows hard and is almost as bad as rome.


Yes, I'm talking to you, rickythepenguin.

Jim Rome's voice doesn't make me want to drive into the nearest telephone pole just to make the sound go away. No matter how annoying Rome can be, there is no one worse than Wolfley.

/that's right, Basedonians
//whatever the fark that is supposed to mean

At first I thought Rome was OK....but he is the reason why sports talk radio now sucks

You say something stupid..and you get a show. Actually know something about sports....crickets

Too bad Jim Everett didn't beat the crap out of Rome a little bit more

glooobball waaarming...?

There's nothing wrong with callers. The problem comes from show hosts filtering particular callers or having "theme nights".

You meant Chris, right?

I used to love Rome's show, but he hasn't had strong takes since he fired Travis Rodgers as his script writer producer. Travis, on the other hand, has a very good show on Yahoo Sports Radio.

Im not saying Jim Rome is great but....... I dont know how to end this sentence.

"Where are the Gator fans now? All you Gators call when you WIN, but now that you LOSE, you don't have the guts."

"I'm a Gator fan and I'm calling."

"And what do you have to say?"

"You said we didn't have the guts to call, so I'm calling."

"Yeah, OK, and what do you have to say?"

"I'm saying, here I am, calling."

"That's it? You're calling to say you're calling?"

"You said we didn't have the guts."

"Because you DON'T have the guts. All week I had all these Gator fans on here, talking trash, and now they run and hide"

"Well, I'M calling"

"OK, so what's your point?"

"My point is, you said we didn't have the guts to call, so I'm..."

...

"...point is that all these Gators ever do is talk trash, and then when they lose, you don't hear a peep out of 'em."

"Well, I'M a Gator, OK? I'm a Gator, and I'm talking to you right now, so what's your problem?"

"My problem is that you weren't calling until I SAID no Gators were calling. THEN all of a sudden, there's all these Gators calling, including you."

"I would've called before. I'm not afraid to call."

"But you DIDN'T call. You're calling now, but before I SAID there were no Gators calling, there were no Gators calling, including you."

"OK, but I'm calling, OK? You hear me on the phone now, right? I'm a Gator and I'm..."

I heard Luke Walton has strong takes but Travis refuses to confirm or deny that...faaaaaaaccct?

Luke Walton's takes are the best takes. Fact.

Low point of our career.

/That movie is criminally under appreciated.

Yanks_RSJ: I can't stand Jim Rome, in fact I'd rather have my nuts twisted in a vice than listen to his show, yet I'd listen to him for 2 hours before I put Cowherd on for even 30 seconds.

Agreed.

You only have to listed to three Jim Rome broadcasts a year. After those, you've pretty much caught up on all the jokes and memes that happen over a season on the show because they do nothing but repeat the same things over and over again.

I've seriously only listed to about a month of Jim Rome, non consecutive, in my life, yet most of the inside references in this thread I recognize.

/Without the nicks and cuts of a blade ...
/Romie, you rock ...
/Uh oh ...

Rome is great if you like sports talk radio that mainly consists of nothing being said or things being repeated ad nauseum. He either says nothing for 20 seconds at a time or he repeats the same crap for 10 minutes to beat the dead horse into a pulp

John Buck 41: I'm more inclined to go with Rome for 10 minutes as opposed to Cowherd for 5. That's how closely I loathe both of them.

I just can't stand the guys with a schtick they have to keep playing to. I just like intelligent sports talk/discussion without all the ranting and bullshiat. There's actually some guys in the local market that are pretty good.

Other a than child rapist and anyone that abuses a dog Jim Rome is the only other person I wouldn't care about if something bad happened to them.

/ sports talk seems to be more about raising the douche level than real reporting.

Well, if ESPN wants to replace Rome, there's this guy named Keith Olbermann who just became available...

/it's the circle of life

carnifex2005: I don't listen to him anymore but his rant against Texas A&M was indeed EPIC...
...

Fake rant is fake.

Hamilstan: carnifex2005: I don't listen to him anymore but his rant against Texas A&M was indeed EPIC...
...

Fake rant is fake.

Its not so much fake as its a complete lie, A&M was around for a decade before the University of Texas

Jim Rome is a douche and dumber than an internet troll.

DrBear: Well, if ESPN wants to replace Rome, there's this guy named Keith Olbermann who just became available...

Yes, olbermann, the biggest ego on the planet and the only douchebag bigger than jim rome.

Frank Caliendo called in to Dan Patrick today and started the interview by doing two minutes as Rome. It was very, very good, and I -- like the rest of the world -- pretty much think Caliendo sucks. Gotta give him credit for that, though.
