Jim Rome is the dork.
Rome is looking to shake things up. This is what he did on his show. From Wikipedia:
"(Jim Everett was hesitant in his play because of being sacked too many times) This eventually led to a confrontation in 1994 with then Talk2 host Jim Rome. Rome had regularly mocked Everett's aversion to taking hits on the field by addressing him as "Chris" Everett (a reference to female tennis player Chris Evert). When Everett appeared as a guest on Talk2, Rome wasted no time, applying the insult twice within the show's first 30 seconds. Everett warned Rome not to do so again, implying that physical confrontation would ensue otherwise. When Rome did, Everett overturned the table between them and shoved Rome to the floor while still on the air."
Rome has always looked for contraversy. Let it go.
Besides, "Say it Loud, I'm a Band Geek and Proud!"

He came back saying sorry, but there's been a couple articles talking about it and the top #marchonrome post mocking him.

+1. Honestly, who cares what Jim Rome says? He is a @@@@@. I've noticed a lot of "sports guys" have that same mentality.The Big Ben wrote:Jim Rome is the dork.

It's been soundly addressed by the military :
"Sgt. First Class Lauren Curran, social media manager for the U.S. Army Field Band" has not let this go unnoticed.

I also played a sport ( wrestling ) and played in the band. Guess which one I can still do and which one I can't ....

5/4 or 6/4 mud? Lacquer or silver?
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

And, of course, "Should I get CC mud for college and, if so, should I take out a loan to buy Yorkbrunner mud?"

Jealousy is ugly, isn't it??

I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.
