I guess you've never heard the classic Steve Elkington interviews, nor the ones with Boo Weekley.

I've heard Jim Rome talk about how great seeing an NHL game is live, and mentioning it's the most underrated league in the US. He also goes out of his way to mention what class-acts NHL players are when they appear on his show. I believe he is a Anaheim Ducks season ticket holder.

I love when he goes off on tangents, like the halloween one a few years back and he's talking about dude sitting in his office in his batman costume or something.

I'm a fan of his show, but even if I wasn't I think it's good for the Fan to have something other than hockey talk for a couple hours during the day. How many times have you heard any FAN960 personalities talk about the NBA or MLB other than MAYBE steroids or suspensions for a few minutes? Calgary is a hockey town, but you need to have something different for a couple hours each day.

The halloween one was good because he was going off for a half hour about how if you're over 7, and you dress up for halloween, you're a loser.
Then he goes out on halloween with his kids and sees Chris Pronger dressed up.
So he has Chris on the show a couple weeks later and confronts him about it.

I hate it when he talks about Nascar, golf or anything 'college'....too, so I just listen to something else.
|
Yes you can if you have satellite radio. For hardcore fans outthere that would listen to hockey around the clock, well worht the 15 bucks a month.

I have not noticed that much. More annoying is his tendency to say the same thing ten different ways before moving on. In other words, he tends to repeat his takes. To put it another way, he will make a comment, and re-state it in a slightly different way. Sometimes, he will make a point, and then rephrase it. On the other hand, he can do a take, and then re-set it a minute later. He can make a good argument, and recycle it in the next segment.

Most likely they don't. Team 1040 wouldn't air Rome in favor of different play by play events in the past like baseball or even British Open golf. Also, on the TEAM 1040, Rome is aired at nighttime now in favor of a new local show.
