Jim Rome sucks.
I hate Jim Rome. Someone needs to muzzle this douchebag.
Okay, so I’ve been a little rant-heavy lately with the diatribes against sports figures. So I hate Dick Vitale. So I hate Randy Moss. So I hate the entire ESPN Sunday Night broadcasting team.
Guess what? I hate Jim Rome too. I’d probably hate him even more than those guys, but he’s really easy to avoid because I never listen to his complaining bullshit. I just change the channel. The people above are harder to avoid.
Still, allow me to explain why Jim Rome is such an utter piece of shit.
This guy is the ultimate Monday Morning Quarterback. Actually, that’s sort of his job description. He really just complains about things and people after they do things. This insulates him from any criticism, since he doesn’t like to go out on limb to say controversial things before they happen.
And his “in your face style?” Whatever, man. I’m a big boy, and I can handle it. It’s unimpressive. I’m obviously a superior ranter. For him, it’s merely a cloak for the pathetic content of his analysis.
For example, take his examination tonight of the Orange Bowl and the BCS aftermath. He criticized OU for “lying down,” after giving up a touchdown following a silly turnover on a punt. He also stated that he thought the Orange Bowl would be close. Yet he said USC was the undisputed national champion and that Auburn would get blown out. Huh? Memo to the ass clown in the martini lounge blazer: that doesn’t compute. If you thought that the USC-OU game would be close and it wasn’t, you were wrong. You were wrong about who should have had a shot at USC. You were wrong, wrong, wrong.
Okay, so why shouldn’t USC and Auburn have played, hmm? And because they didn’t, Auburn never got a shot. You already said that OU “lied down”; if Auburn hadn’t, could they have won?
Well, we’ll never know, because you’re too busy greasing your hair to respond. Whoops.
Oh, and in case you thought Jimmy was a tough guy in real life, you’ll definitely be amused by this video of Jim Everett (#14 all-time in passing yards!) treating Rome like a Detroit Pistons fan. That’s some hilarious shit.
And Jim? Just a minor piece of fashion advice, bro, because everyone’s onto you. Lose the shoulder pads, man. You’re not fooling anyone.
4/19/07: Fuck it. Comments are back open. I still hate this fuckwad.

and oh, by the way, to you “milk money”, its worse you have a “man crush” on the dude, and secondly, I’m a very average guy, who is with the hot chick you see at the bar. So take your silly stereotype and put it where the sun don’t shine!

Jim Rome is the fuckin’ “I crave sports” yet I’m a wanna-be who’s was never good enough to play nor cool enough to lull so he talks-the-talk and can’t walk-the-walk (the 1994 Everett interview). Though slightly better than ‘Zo and Larry Walker’s bitch slap, Romey, you’re a fuckin’ pussy!

Jim Rome said Georgia wearing the black jerseys this week would be bad due to the Georgia sun…..would be true, but it’s a night game. Somebody get this guy a fucking TV Guide.
