Not ashamed to admit it: Jim Rome's radio show is funny

Almost Famous = Jim Everett.

 

The best way I can sum up my thoughts on this is that Rome makes me laugh more than he annoys me.

Like Chris Berman, his routine is tired, but he hasn't reach the point yet where I can't listen to him. He's still better than most talk radio.

 

Better than most talk radio...

Reminds me of the line, "What's better than winning the 100-yard dash at the Special Olympics?"

 

I still like listening to Rome, when I get the chance. He's better than most on sports talk radio.

 

Jim Rome is one of the reasons I got XM Radio, so I can thank him for that. He's beyond tedious.

 

I don't know which is worse. Him constantly repeating the same crap time after time after time or separating his shoulder by patting himself on the back so much. "Fantastic interview. Great interview. Fantastic." Whatever. I turn him off as soon as I hear that annoying voice.

 

unlike almost famous, i am slightly ashamed to admit that i used to think rome was kind of funny. i haven't listened in years though because i don't think he's in miami.

 

Ragu, he wasn't pausing for effect ... that's just ... the way ... he talks.

 

My thoughts on Jim Rome.

A punk. The thing with Jim Everett was a defining moment. It's like the kid in school who talks real tough if he thinks nobody would confront him, but runs like a rabbit when somebody might challenge him. He has a bunch of regular callers who are pretty much stooges and seem to read their "takes".

He's like Rush Limbaugh in the sense that they have a niche time slot where radio during the midday used to be geared toward women, but they found a spot for guys. Like Rush Limbaugh, he is somebody who can talk on the radio for a long time, but television showed both of them to be the frauds they are.
