The first week or so of listening to him was like listening to a cat drown, but as I got used to the humour and built up some background to his jokes, I found him absolutely hilarious!! Now I'm in Europe, Slovenia to be exact (Anze Kopitar's birth country) and I listen online every chance I get!
Long story short, give Rome a chance and you won't be disappointed...

I'm of the opposite camp. I randomly tuned in quite a few years back on some station that played him late at night. I thought he was the funniest thing I'd ever heard and was pretty happy when 960 brought him on. After listening for a few years though, I have a hard time going back. Very redundant humor. I can only handle so much clone crap, and b ball college this or that. Kind of like Gerry Forbes, his humor is amusing for a while, but there's a definate expiry date, and after that it's bad.
