Rome knows which of his affiliates are 3-hour, 2-hour and which ones run on delay.
Great that he’s back - I’m sick of tracking his stuff via podcast.
The man gets A-list guests - his Super Bowl week shows alone justify the rest of the year.
He talks intelligently about sports other than hockey.
Unlike some of the other major American hosts, he actually talks about baseball.
He remembers not to take himself too seriously - you’ll never hear him talk about DVOA or any analytics #### because that’s terrible radio.
Guest hosts that are/actually become names of their own - the Sklars, Jay Mohr, Skip Bayless, Rich Eisen, John Feinstein, Andrew Siciliano - Rome has a coaching tree that would rival Andy Reid.
I can live with 2 hours instead of three - Baseball/Hockey Central is at least a national broadcast with talent that didn’t drive to work in a Kia.
Two people from Vancouver who could be anyone and who suck at telling stories are not acceptable.
I’ve listened to this station daily for 17 years. Between 10-1, I would rarely if ever listen to my own music. I listen probably 95% less than I used to, and a lack of Rome is no small part of that.
Tell me I’m wrong, but I can’t listen exclusively to graduates of SAIT broadcasting.
