    The stats behind the story........Jim says he's been calling Everett Chris for 2 years, but this happened in spring 1994 and 1992 was actually one of Everett's best seasons statistically as a Ram.....59.2% completion rate, 22 TDs and 18 picks. He only had 1 season with a higher completion rate as a Ram (59.6%).......the next season was bad 1993, but he may have been hurt. Only started 9 games..............then AFTER this fight, Jim Everett tore it up for the Saints, passing for 64.7% completion rate and 3,855 yards that fall.

Jim Rome was not well-known at the time, and it's obvious he pulled this stunt to get his name out there.
