Admittedly, I probably haven't listened to Rome in 5+ years though lol. Is it still the same jokes? Does he still have that 911 Emergency! bit or the MJ Adult Alarm?

Yeah you gotta listen daily, as it's so many inside jokes and callback references. Rome's show always seems kinda weird to me when I just tune in sporadically, but when I listen daily it's hilarious.
And agreed that Rome is also good for breaking up the otherwise essentially all day hockey talk 960 can do, for those who feel there isn't enough sports variety on there. Especially as someone who's a diehard NFL fan like myself.
I know local 960 hosts talk NFL sometimes too, but it's usually through the prism of fantasy football (Steinberg/afternoon hosts), or gambling/point spread Vegas style stuff (morning show). I retired from FF and don't gamble so I don't want to view it through that lens, I'm just a classic style fan of the league that gets into the playoff races & storylines, and Rome supplies that.
