Jim Rome on 960...ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS!
It's REALLY pissing me off today!!
I've gotta turn off the radio when his drivel is on.
They could DEFINITELY have something better on right now as opposed to his garbage!!
Specially TODAY!!
Sorry guys, just had to rant!!

Add me to the list of people who have no time for Rome. He's an idiot.

Jim Rome on his worst day is better than any personality on 960 on the best day of their life.

Some people besides you enjoy Jim Rome. Not to mention not everyone in the city is a hockey fan, or specifically a hardcore hockey fan that needs second by second updates. There's nothing going on and the Fan can have from 1pm to whenever to discuss the Leopold deal and whatever else happens

Does the fan have the freedom to just not play Rome? I imagine they have some sort of agreement in place. Could be wrong of course.

The Team 1260 in Edmonton is not playing Rome today. They're having a trade deadline show.

I rather listen to Rome than any of the 'experts" on the FAN960 talk about the trade deadline and all of it's 6 trades. It's an escape for people who don't like watching talking heads on tv.

I like the guests on McCowan and the way he interviews but I can't stand anything he says. He and I have totally opposite views on sports in general. I picked up his book last year and it was crap.

Jim Rome was cut short as soon as the Flames trades went down.

I was certain that the Fan advertised a deadline show today and there'd be no Rome on. I flicked on the radio shortly after 10 and heard Jim, so I shut 'er down. I was blissfully unaware of the big doin's here until I tried CP and the server was busy.

Still, I can empathize. Driving between Kingston and Toronto today, I was desperately trying to get any channel on the trades. The Ottawa stations ONLY discussed the Sens trade. Literally nothing else. Finally, I located CBC's leading sports show, "The Inside Track." The topic of the show? Luge.

By the way, I was returning from the Sens/Flames game. Iginla was genius.

Rome cracks me up sometimes. But if he has NASCAR or golf guests its a snore fest.  JMO.

Had an idea!

Face it guys, you can't talk hockey ALL day long, unless it is trade deadline, and Jim Rome is the most popular radio personality in North America.
I hate it when he talks about Nascar, golf or anything 'college'....too, so I just listen to something else.
