I used to really like Rome but now can't really stand him. Listening to him maybe once a week for an hour or two is good for me, any longer and his schtick gets on my nerves.

I give him credit though he has built a great career for himself, which he doesn't mind reminding everyone. I just wonder what will happen first: his arm falling off from patting himself on his back so much or his lips becoming permanently stuck on some athletes ass from kissing it so much.

I've seen him call a few guys out. One was a college ballplayer who hit some sort of home run record and was just an ass. Another was the boxer who talked about how he had met Charles Manson in jail and how Manson was just misunderstood.

In general, I agree that he does seem to cozy up to guests, but so many who depend upon athletes to call in do that as well. (The ESPN football crew (esp Theisman) are the worst for that. With how much they gush about every player who they talked to in meetings, you could swear those players gave them fellatio in return for the raves!)
