If it's been posted and already removed, cave it. If Rome is persona non grata here, cave it. I understand.

Yes, I didnt know whether to laugh or feel sorry for both Rome and Everett. At the time I thought it was staged because the whole thing was so bizarre.

Dudes got probably the most followers of any radio show, and makes hundreds of millions of dollars. I think a lot of people knew...

That is his schtick. He does it to get reaction. Jim Rome is awesome.

Takes!!
August 16th, 2016 at 10:39 PM ^
Its made up entirely of him talking about how awesome his show is when its just him talking, and people without real jobs talking trash to degenerates in other towns.
The only times I've liked his show are when Jay Mohr, or the Sklar Brothers hosted it.
Speaking of which, i think Jay Mohr has the most entertaining sports talk show on radio.
August 17th, 2016 at 1:30 AM ^
I know that's his schtick. What I don't know is why that is awesome.
August 17th, 2016 at 9:09 AM ^
It's not. Rome is a turdburgler
August 16th, 2016 at 8:11 PM ^
I never thought he was doing much of anything right.
August 16th, 2016 at 8:34 PM ^
So does carrot top. Your point? There are a lot of morons that listen to sports talk.
August 16th, 2016 at 8:34 PM ^
This line of logic got us Dave Brandon. Hard pass!
August 16th, 2016 at 7:42 PM ^
He has a small show in San Diego and is on the Internet...he is a has been.
August 16th, 2016 at 7:56 PM ^
"Small show"? Try a nationally syndicated show that is played all across the country including in Grand Rapids.

Hey look everyone, Jim Rome has an MGoAccount and is upset we think he is small time!
August 17th, 2016 at 8:41 AM ^
Some of his so-called "clones" appear to be MGoBloggers too.
August 16th, 2016 at 8:21 PM ^
I think by "played all across the country" you mean "played in certain, random spots across the country." It's not played in Los Angeles. Is it possible GR just doesn't have anything decent at that time slot?
August 16th, 2016 at 9:50 PM ^
Not played on 93.1 KCBS in Los Angeles? It's listed as being on in that market as well as 11 other California stations.
August 16th, 2016 at 10:01 PM ^
93.1 is one of my favorite radio stations, but it plays music all day. That's Jack FM. So no, I don't think Jim Rome is on that.
August 16th, 2016 at 8:23 PM ^
You're trying to be the "Fall" guy aren't you Dillon?

whole board hates Rome. I can't figure it out. I think he has a good show and is consistently funny. He is a very good interviewer and gets top tier guests. This looks like an honest take to me. We may disagree with him and that's fine, but it is not like he was just dressing Harbaugh down, he was complimentary at times even. Harbaugh is not going to raise this much hell in the college football world and remain above reproach. He can also be really abrasive with the media and Rome probably has first hand experience from being in the Bay Area. I don't see this as a "hit job," but more of a reporter feeling a certain way about something and calling it how he sees it. We don't need to call the Wambulance for this one.
August 16th, 2016 at 10:42 PM ^
JimBlow Rome was doing an awful lot of crying, maybe a Wambulance is in order.
August 16th, 2016 at 11:49 PM ^
And that's my biggest beef.
He went on a very long rant right before JH was hired, mocking UM fans saying we were like the geek in high school who got up the nerve to ask the prettiest girl to the dance, and then be all excited because we actually asked even though there was no way she would ever say yes.
August 17th, 2016 at 12:52 AM ^
...rack him.
August 17th, 2016 at 7:01 AM ^
He's nowhere near a reporter. Talking head with an opinion but by no means a reporter or journalist. I can't even imagine reading this site with the in depth content and then going to listen to someone like Jim Rome spew feelings and nonsense all over the place.
August 17th, 2016 at 8:06 AM ^
I read the article and do not really see what the big deal is. Seems like a rehash of ideas people have been talking/posting/thinking about since it was rumored Harbaugh might come to Michigan.
August 16th, 2016 at 9:32 PM ^
so there's that data point
August 17th, 2016 at 12:50 AM ^
...then he is still conquering the sports world...my bad.
August 16th, 2016 at 7:50 PM ^
MGoDillon I don't want to shock you, but you've been in a coma for 10 years! To catch you up to speed, Michigan didn't play football for the last 10 years we just stopped after that pretty good 06 team, we have our first black president, and there are things called Twitter, snapchat and Instagram that you're gonna need some time to learn about. Also do NOT watch any news channel, everything is fine.

To be honest, I did not know Jim Rome was still on the air, and I listen to a lot of sports radio. That said, when he was on the radio and on TV, he was one of the worst in the business, which is a high bar to hit. You are truly in the minority defending Jim Rome.
August 16th, 2016 at 8:34 PM ^
Yeah I havent heard from him lately on either of our local sports radio stations.
August 16th, 2016 at 10:01 PM ^
He is on Showtime every week.
His take on Harbaugh really stupid but some of posters here saying Rome is irrelevant in the sports talk world a bit off base....
August 16th, 2016 at 10:37 PM ^
over Rome, if I'm scanning the Showtime listings.
August 16th, 2016 at 10:28 PM ^
I cannot believe that. There is no way you did not know Jim is still on the air, especially if you listen to any CBS stations.

There are two major sports radio stations in LA (ESPN and Fox Sports) and he's not on either of them. If CBS has a sports radio station in Los Angeles, they're a very small player. They don't carry any of the major sports teams (ESPN covers USC, Lakers, Rams and Angels and Fox covers Dodgers, Clippers and UCLA) and they don't advertise.
August 17th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
When i still lived in the Detroit area 7 years ago i would occasionally inadvertently listen to his radio show and everytime i did i had no idea what the guy was talking about, it was like a different language full of inside jokes, word salads and new words introduced to the English language.
August 16th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
most followers and makes hundreds of millions, you must be confusing him with this guy....

Did not know he still had a show either. I knew it like 7 years ago, but I thought he was done.

Rome has been riding Joaquin's coattails for years now.
