how do you consider jim romes radio show the best show on the air? All he ever does is criticize(sp?) everyone he can in a very classless, sarcastic manner(usually with two other guests that have no ties to sports other than they are just fans who are well renown; i remember the host of blind date once giving america his opinion on why nd didnt deserve to be in a bcs game over oregon last year.... THE GUY FROM BLIND F'ING DATE!!) ........it is really hard to listen to it coming from him just because jim rome has never done anything in sports as an athlete.........I mean if mike ditka criticizes lovie smith or the bears for something ill respect his opinion, hes done it before...........but jim rome? I bet a majority of the people in my office have had more prominent althletic careers that jim rome (and they dont have as much cheesy facial hair either)..........anyhow I think jim romes show is the worst one on the air just because im still waiting for the answer to the question: when did jim rome every do anything in sports or covering sports that has made his opinion mean, i dunno, anything worth listening to?...........
well, i was refering to the radio show, i think you may be thinking of his tv show...what did he do in sports? nothing, what did Howard Cossell(sp), Al Michaels, or Bob Costas do in sports? nothing, but most people look at what they say, or have said as truth and meaningful sports commentary. As far as him constantly criticizing, i dont know if you hear enough of him...sure he raggs on people who deserve it, say an athlete getting busted for DUI's or assult, or if they say something that is waaaayyyy off and ridiculous, but he is also very quick to give props to those who deserve it...i say listen to what he says before, and after Coach is on tomorrow...i will put money on the fact that he will be giving Charlie much love after tomorrow...besides his show is very entertaining, and funny. I hear what you are saying, and i can respect the fact that you dont like him, i personally do, and i know many many American sports fans do as well. I also realize that is show is a aquired taste for some, i say give it a week of listening , and you might come around.
