Jim Rome

[SimonRath]

Does anyone else think Jim Rome is really annoying?

to me it seems like he likes to state the obvious stuff
He just said that the hire of Petrino to the Falcons was a dumb move. Well after he left the Falcons after less then a season pretty much everyone would say it was a bad hire

[B-Dawk]

or how he uses the same stupid joke, where, damn y, even x thinks that is whack, like today when he said Bobby Petrino, even Lou Holtz thinks that was weak

[bored of education]

yeah he got old quick.

He did have Nick Barnett on today though, so thumbs up for that.

could be worse, it could be Jay Mariotti or Skip Bayless

I really like Jim Rome. Yea his style may be different then what you're used to hearing but I think he's pretty funny and he knows his sports pretty well too. He always has good guests too.

[diabsoule]

I really don't like him. Actually, I don't like him at all.

hm, Thats why I always disliked him. It seems like he has writers just do his script and he has no idea what hes talking about.

I just want to say I have never watched his TV Show. I strictly listen to him on the radio. Maybe his TV Show is alot worse but I think he's great on the radio.

Phe-nomenal. Count Chocula.

Heh heh...I just made myself laugh. Awesome.

To his credit, he really rebuilt his reputation. It seems like athletes actually like him now. He always has great guests on his radio and tv show now.

And even if you cant stand his humor, just watch his tuesday show after the dolphins lose. I always look forward to that because he just shreds them and its pretty funny.

Caliendo nailed that by the way haha.

[JPLUFF]

His radio show is much better than the tv show.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.. Jim Rome is Burning would be much more interesting if Jim Rome was actually burning..

anyway I can't stand the guy honestly he is really opinionated and ignorant

You arent alone. Rome does get under my skin a little bit, but you can find worse TV personalities.

QFT. he's a very good radio personality. for some reason a lot of these people are very tolerable on the radio.

I even listen to steven a smith once in a while.

I didn't like him the first few times I heard him, he took some getting used to. I listen to him as much as possible now. I can see where people who are easily annoyed or easily alienated(since he references a lot of old moments on the show and old jokes) may turn him off right away. He rarely says anything sensational, unlike Cowherd, Lebatard(sp?) and some others. Lastly, his interviews can not be beat. He ranges his questions from gimme's to hard(if the situation warrants it) and seems to have a real good feel of where to take an interview. For the most part his guests are the best on sports radio and he works in the names you may not know with the who's who.

And I'm going to stop professing my man crush now.

Jim Rome is a homie

[VoteLynnSwan]

you know why Jim Rome is burning?

Because he's a flamer.
