agreed. Man was he dishin it out last week, he played that clip like 50 times, I'm sick of it. Nice time to take a va-kay. Not to mention the guy who's replaced him this week(forget his name) is beyond brutal. Today's the first time in almost a month that I wasn't playing that station at work during Rome's show, I hate that dude. I tried to sit through it yesterday, but I was severly strug-gling.

That's quite the Olympic story. Hard not to cheer for this guy, even though he's a Kraut.

I seem to recall Canada doing this in the past... by that I mean, starting slow and then piling the medals on near the end.

That is why I couldn't understand all the grief aftert the 1st week.

University of Texas has more medals per capita than anyone!! (actually I don't know if that's true just guessing based on this chart)

http://www.texassports.com/genrel/082508aaa.html

Doesn't include our coaches who participated like Kristy Coventry.

Ugg I can't stand Rome... have not listened to him in like 7 years since he went on a 10 minute rant about how the sport of hockey is a joke and the Stanley Cup was the *only* professional sports trophy that could be bought year to year by any team in the league with enough money (he was apparently oblivious to baseball)... I was yelling at my radio so loud I'm honestly still surprised he didn't hear me... the previous week he had a Yzerman or Gretzky on (I cant remember) and sucked up to them like nothing I have ever heard about how great (Gretzky?) was and such and amazing athlete and you're a hero to so many people, then the little rat faced weasel follows it up with the next week with a "hockey is a joke" rant. I f'in hate Rome and will never ever listen to that putz again... I have friends who tell me he has changed his tune about hockey, I could care less I'm never listening to him again.

Yes, just us. I'm cynical about the olympics. It seems as though there is a need to do well in order for Canada to be considered complete as a country which to me is completely ridiculous. We've been brain-washed.

I still remember listening to his show when it was on 660 (or was it 770?) at like 9pm back in 1997 or something. Back then he would rip on Nascar (or Neck-car as he liked to call it) all the time. I lost touch with the jungle for a few years and imagine my surprise when I'm listening one day on the Fan and he is singing the praises of Nascar! Blew my mind! I also don't understand he increased airtime for all things horse racing, just because he has a share in a few horses all his viewers have to hear about the sport more now?

But he still makes me laugh when I catch him on completely un-sports related takes. I also quite enjoy some of the guest hosts he gets, like the Brothers Sklar.
