Smack Off today, Jim Rome.

[SmokeProper]

Any Rome fans here? Normally you love or hate him.

Used to listen more often, not a priority anymore. But occasionally I listen. Annual smack off is normally funny.

Hate the radio show he has 'cause he bores me to death repeating things all the time. But I like him on ESPN though.

I can't stand this guy. Condescending, arrogant, d bag who has done what in the world of sports?

Like you said, love him or hate him.

COMPLETELY AGREE!!! :applause:

i don't understand how he stays on the air. his schtick trite and old. the fauxhawk and foil dragon shirt wearing crowd are surely starting to dwindle......

I used to listen all the time. Now I catch him every once in awhile. He was really good years ago back when he was competing with the Sports Babe and refused to endorse any products. Now he's just a big corporate shill and advertising machine- the same as any entertainment show. Not that I blame him. I'd get paid too- I just wouldn't pretend in the beginning that it wasn't about the money.

I am with you Patrick, I can't stand the guy.

He's tolerable in small doses...

Anyone remember Jim "Chris" Everett?

I used to be a faithful listener, but thanks to podcasting, I never listen to the radio anymore, opting for podcasts that deal specifically with my interests. I'm not a hater. He's funny to listen to.

I'd always love how he would read emails, and then state who the email was signed by. Usually some athlete or person making a smart ass remark.

The Chris "Jim" Everett piece was classic. I still remember that.

I lump him in with Grant Napear (my Sactown brothers know what I am talking about). A pompous, arrogant ass who belittles those who choose to disagree with him.

I hate what he does.

He has his moments but can be annoying with overexposure. I guess I developed a taste for his show as the delivery van I drove when I got into sport stalk radio only had AM. Not too many options since I live in a rural area. He's a change of pace guy. His TV show is the right length. An hour show would not be a good idea.
