[Mayberry Machiavelli]

show.

1. Isn't he on ESPN? n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. This was his daily radio show.

3. Is Rome RW?

I just remember several years ago, he called NFL QB Jim Everett "Chris" to imply that he played like a girl and Everett went after him & Rome ran away like a baby.

5. How's that qualify as RW?

Acts of juvenile stupidity aren't limited to one side of the political spectrum.

[Systematic Chaos]

7. Well put

And besides, people CAN mature and learn. :)

8. I never said he was, just asked if he was

That was the only thing I remember Rome for...

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. No. Far from it.

He tries to be apolitical, but from listening to enough shows, he actually seems a bit left of center.

10. There was the instance of Toni Smith

the female collegiate hoopster who would turn her back on the flag during the anthem as a protest of the invasion. Rome was one of the only sports talking heads who defended her.

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. He also ripped into Bill O'Reilly quite handily

When he learned that one of his affiliates dumped his show out for an hour to play O'reilly's show.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

13. Nope. In 2000 he said that he wouldn't want a president stupider than him

He clowns Bush when he has the chance.

14. And his show was the first place I heard Billy Bean

after Billy Bean came out of the closet. I remember thinking it was weird because I had a pretty low opinion of Rome before that, but he was very engaging and encouraging with Bean. Not typical for sports radio.

4. That's probably the first thing I've ever liked that has come from him

He is so annoying. I probably would go Everett on him if I ever got the chance.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. His shtick is annoying. But I did like hearing this on his show, and I

think he has a pretty sizeable audience.

11. Impeach the bastid!

He led us to a needless war!
