Cheap Jibes and Cheaper Shots as Ram Meets Rome

Jim Rome’s egomania and “all schtick/no substance” style is surpassed only by his lack of class. “Cheap-shot” Rome found out what smack really means from Jungle Jim Everett.

If Jim Everett showed the type of intensity he displayed on ESPN’s “Talk 2” with Jim Rome, he’d still be the Rams’ quarterback.

Jim Rome calling Jim Everett “Chris” is an insult to one of the greatest tennis players of all time.

ESPN’s Jim Rome should be commended for not holding back in his interview with Jim Everett. Sure, Rome is pretty obnoxious, but at least he says the same thing to a person’s face that he says on the radio every day. It makes me sick when sportscasters like Fred Roggin and Joe McDonnell are critical of an athlete in his absence and then kiss up to him during an interview.
