I guess I'm in the minority of Rome fans that only listens to hear him go off on a tangent about topics such as:
-wacko (love that adult alarm)
-drunk drivers (especially celebrities)
-crocodiles roaming LA
-rain in LA
-america vs. america's hat (that's us)
-ok, did you want us to come over and shoot her?
-Tonya Harding
He's no longer a true sports guy. His show has taken on a life of it's own and he's riding the wave. To complain about how he contradicts himself is to say that you don't like the show and don't understand it. Which is fine. I hated the show for a long time, but I worked with a guy that insisted on listening everyday. Took me about a month before I started to like it.
When the pats won their second SB a few years back, Rome was supposed to intervies some RB from a small town in Kentucky. The interview ended up being postponed til the next day but nevertheless, some guy from that town called and said that he really enjoyed the interview. Rome strung him along for a minute or two before the call ended...
Best part was the email response.
Dear Jim... GREAT interview with (that guy from the pats).
Sincerely, Marty McFly
That email had me laughing all day.
