Default FYI, Bill Peters will be on Jim Rome after 11AM

Interesting choice for Rome on a Monday after the NFL...should be good as (like him or hate his schtick) Rome IMO is the single best interviewer in sports.

Is there an option to mute Rome?

As someone who doesn't listen to Rome is this worth a listen? Like does he know enough about the Flames and their season so far to give a good interview or will it be too general and basic for Flames fans?

GG and now Peters on a show that is very selective about its limited hockey content (Crosby/penguins or local Kings are usually the only teams I would hear discussed)

what's up with that.

Also Rome is painful to listen to, I can't stand his cadence.

Rome is always well prepared for who he is talking too. It won't be as much about the players themselves as it will be about Peters and the team collectively.

He addresses everything like he's ready to fight you over it.

I've heard enough of that nonsense in 2018. Drop the schtick and just be entertaining without being an ass- we could use it.

I don't know if Flames fans will learn a lot that we don't already know as Rome is probably just going to give listeners (mostly NHL ignorant) an opportunity to learn a bit about Peters and what he's accomplished with the Flames so far this season. Jim's a pro so he's probably done his homework and will have some questions regarding him joining the Flames from Carolina and taking them to the top of the conference but I wouldn't expect any revelations. That said Peters is a pretty good talker so it should be a good listen if you are near a radio.

His interviews are always quite good. Its the repetitive fluff in between that can get annoying.

He makes 30 million dollars a year doing what he does.

He isn't, nor shouldn't, change a thing.

He had Gulutzan on last year and they went on a big losing streak afterwards.

I find Rome does 90% of the talking during his "interviews".

His salary doesn't change how much I dislike listening to him

America elected 'billionaire' Trump. There's a lot of stupid out there with big fan bases and the wallets to match

If Rome would drop the damn clone ####, his show wouldn't be so excruciating to listen to. It is completely self-referential with very little to do with sports.

Went over how he handles players, to the whirlwind that was him leaving Carolina and joining the Flames. Touched on his time with Babcock.
