Jim Rome was always a 🤡
agreed
he’s such slime I liked when David Stein asked him if he still beats his wife during an interview lol
Hes a changed person now though. Although he's still pretty bold with his takes...I think today he would tell you that could have been handled differently. He does a podcast now called the reinvention project.
The only negative about this is that Everett didn't get in a clean shot and knock Rome out cold.
Absolutely right can't stand that punk rome.
Everett didn't look bad at all.
agreed
Jim Rome doesn't have a punchable face; you actually want to crush it with Thor's Hammer.
Great comment, read the first part and was like what! Then was like oh, right on! Hahaha. We all wanted the moment to last a little longer.
Every member of the media now acts like Jim Rome.
And we have less jim everetts
JIMS THE HIGHEST PAID , THAT'S WHY.
@@chinaexpat1827 the media works hand in hand with the Intel services. That is why...
That's what happens when one guy only can run his mouth and the other guy is ready to do something about it. Everret came out looking good...totally in the right
I worked with a guy named Chris Everett, we used to call him Jim Everett
I can’t believe this never happened to skip
He’s a dusty old skeletor but my god so many would love that. Charles Barkley would have to be the guy, only bc he would be so sad if it wasn’t him who got to do it…DNA testing needed after haha
Still plenty of time for him to receive his destiny
I'm glad Jim stood up for himself. Jim Rome was a dirt bag
seriously though who is jim Rome to call anyone soft lol
Dude ended up on his back without a fight.
@@WilliamMunnyIII yes he did lol
If anybody saw this back in the day, you could hear Rome screaming like a little girl. Pretty cowardly to erase the audio.
I think that was just you screaming with delight over watching one guy feeling up another guy with his fists.
@@hetmanjz oh wow, the level of funny is too high… I can’t take it. Please stop being so hilarious.
Rome was a punk and he got punked by a very large angry quarterback. Lucky not to lose teeth.
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 has always been a clown.
Always. When we say Always, since way back when... 💯💯
You won't say that to his face
@@czonerx66-vc1wz I sure would.
@@czonerx66-vc1wzClown is like 5’9” 140 lbs, don’t think that would be an issue.
Stuart Scott really was cooler than the other side of the pillow. Refreshing to hear him bring an adult perspective.
Everything he said was so true.
Miss Stu and the guys and girls on sportscenter from the 80’s and 90’s. Great show
He was all schtick too.
Amen to this!
@@elbob17 for sure and I loved it hahaha Booyah!
If you bait somebody into violence, then you are the guilty party,
We need this match to happen at WrestleMania, no holds barred.
Everett should have decked him. 100% How do you “invite” a man into your show and disrespect him like that? How did Rome expect the conversation to go?? Rome wouldn’t last through one play in the NFL.
he thought he was under the protection of being on TV and Jim wouldn’t do anything. He thought there was really no consequences to his actions.
It’s all fun until a 6-4 230 lb elite athlete wants all the smoke with you
Or that athlete wants to fight you.
@@joes4194 my point
@XavierCoolDude Oh. Well why didn't you just say that? What does smoking have anything to do with anything?
@@joes4194 it’s a slang term for wanting to throw down
I’m a house painter and I listen to sports radio all day long. When Jim Rome comes on I change the channel. I can’t stand the guy!!!! His inflated ego is out of the stratosphere!! He reminds me of a cocky high school punk who never made it in athletics but hung out with the real athletes because it made him feel cool. He’s sooooo into himself.
Jim Rome was Skip Bayless and Craig Carton before Skip Bayless and Craig Carton
Craig carton?
@@dallastexas5653he’s a guy on FS1 who talks trash and criticizes athletes and teams harsh
I was watching this live as it happened on tv. I could not believe it. I immediately called my friend who was also watching it. The show was called Talk 2
Like yestersay...
In retrospect, it looks kind of staged.
It was a publicity stunt.
Mad dog is also a 🤡
also agreed
Rome could not carry Mad Dog's jock strap
Rome bringing Jim in to antagonize him isn’t the same thing as staging. For something to be staged both people have to be in on it.
I remember when Rome said one of the Serena Williams sister's looked like Predator!! 😮 Brutal man.😂🎾
Rest In Paradise Stuart Scott🙏🕊️
Don't be so gullible, it was preplanned by both----they ate lobster together afterwards w/ the cameras off and made a wine toast.
Disrespectful to Jim and Chris Everette
I lost all respect for Jim rome after this and never watched or listened to him again, now he's floundering on some random sports network
We noticed Aikman's comments. Would have been interesting to see Aikman across from Skip Bayless in a similar scenario?
Was this scripted?
Rome did it for the show and publicity. Everrett could have just walked off, or could've slapped him in the mouth too.
Matt Barnes knows a thing or two about disrespecting athletes. Ask Kwame Brown
@Kwijiboz Matt Barnes is a scumbag, just an absolutely disgusting person. Total f*cking loser.
@2H2521 🤣🤣🤣 what did Barnes do to you? Barnes is a g!!
Stephen A Smith disrespected Kwame Brown
@@edubb1luv100A “G,” yeah right! He’s a punk, I’ve despised him for years.
Im surprised stephen a smith, Charles Barkley and skip Bayless have bit gotten whipped on live tv 😂
I saw this happen live and the look of total fear and desperation in Rome's eyes was real and authentic. Lil' Romie had the sch!t scared out of him.
What year was the Jim Rome incident?
1994
1:48 "Mainstream media loves to disrespect."
Matt Barnes
I always thought this was SOOOO staged! Rome was trying to get his TV show rolling. This got EVERYONE talking. I thought it was clever. Been a Rams fan since 76. I never saw Everett get rattled by words or show temper tantrums. You watch the clip and it looks like he had a hard time keeping a straight face.
Between Rome, Mike Francessa, Skip Bayliss and Craig Carton, when have ANY of these guys played a second of any pro sport they cover to put then in them in the position of being so-called experts? I went to fim school, have worked in the film industry for years but I have no credibility to be in a position to criticize the work of Scorsese, Spielberg, Kubrick or any other genius.
NIEMS here watching ROME get SACKED! If you have listened to ROME for a long time then you should have heard my song MICHAEL"S DAD back in the 90's also get the ROME disrespect treatment too! I'm 72 now and have not listened to ROME in probably a decade or more! Have a nice night folks!
What a dork! The last time I bothered watching him, he was on his back with his legs gapped, kicking and squirming.
Rome got what he had comin’
So he does it on camera where he knows someone will break it up and he will get money from a lawsuit. It's real hard dealing with these nerds as they weren't acting like this in high school. Even harder because tha government protects these nerds and let them say what they want.
After getting punked Rome grew a goatee and dropped his voice an octave and added rasp.
Still a dork
Those Oakleys are fire
Thanks to Jim Rome, we know who Jim Everett even is today.
Fine me I ain't talking to no media.
I watched that on that day and Jim Rome loves provoking and had it coming.
In a time now where everyone hides behind social media or hides on their little tv show, you gotta give Rome credit for saying it to that dudes face. Now a days guys like skip and Stephen A switch up their energy when confronted, they back track on their word and things they said once they’re sitting across from the person they disrespected. At least Rome had the guts to stand on his word, even if it was disrespectful and immature.
I remember this like it was yesterday, and it was pretty shocking at the time, this was the early internet/cable days and shock radio had not really hit sports yet. This was way before shows like First Take and Undisputed, Jim Rome was somewhat of a trailblazer in that regard. Jim Rome was not well-known at the time, and it's obvious he pulled this stunt to get his name out there.
It's been a long time. I wonder Chrissy is doing?🤣
It was repeated later again with Vince McMahon and Bob Costas...and way back to the studio buildup skirmish between Ali and Frazier with Howard Cosell...
Rome knew what he was doing....plus the crew knew ahead of time. Easy to just backpedal when you have stage hands ready to come to the rescue.
RIP Scott
I swear I never heard of this I’m a sports junky
I have
Skip Bayless takes this approach present day
Because he knows nobody is going to come on live tv with the world watching rough him up and get sued
I feel like even in those days Skip is more antagonistic but he was a writer and wasn't on TV until Cold Pizza.
There is more to it. Skip from a distance looks like a little weasel but he does work out and is pretty jacked. Plus he has covered boxing for years. You do not want to be the NFL player or NBA player that is beat up by Skip Bayless.
@@zeaferjones1404
Oh please. Skip is definitely in great shape but compared to an NFL or NBA player? Zero chance.
@@keefriff99 There is a slight chance. Even if it is a back and forth fight Skip will look like the winner. That is what nerds don't understand about bullies the risk of fighting a nerd and it being a decent fight are just too high for the bully so he'd rather use mental tactics without it getting to physical.
Back in the day we had Jim Rome and we had the big nasty Joel MacDonald those guys knew how to get to the core of the individual athlete
Why’s it called a take instead of an opinion
Take it or leave it?
Jim Everett turned Rome into Chris Rome, and Jim Everett did not come out looking bad at all,
Can you imagine these Big mouth like Nick Wrong doing these types of interviews today
Poor Crissie couldn't take the joke....
Funny we could even read I to what the difference between a man and a woman was way back then.
Rome got let off easy.
It was a work.
You want Skip Bayless attacked over Lebron 😂….yall wild
JT about to go postal if they don't win the Chip 😂😂😂
Chris !
Matt Barnes on point
Stephen A is a prime example for that so the original was Jim Rome not Stephen A... Stephen A's a poser
Jim Rome is a nerdy cheap shot artist.
I would call dana white, "dana" to his face.😅
Respect what Everett did.
What a punk good for him !
Rome such a beeeeee
Only one of them broke the law....
And the other is a slimy sissy
Even today Jim Rome is a punk.
Goofing on Elvis.
Journalism??
I still think this was staged.
The thing is, chris everett was a very good tennis player, so…
who is Jan rome? nobody should ever pay her ever again. she is terrible and hated by the public,
SKIP BAYLESS????
Romey Rome! he had the most entertaining radio show ever. He was the most not politically correct person ever. he had these euphamisims he would use for certain people like calling monica seles T-bone after some lunatic tried to stab her with a steak knife on court. or everett who had happy feet like chris evert the tennis player. he didnt give a shite about offending anyone. People in my office who didnt even like sports would beg me to turn up the radio. so frickin funny
Why did he call him Chris and why is that an insult?
Chris Evert was a legendary women's tennis player. He was saying that Jim Everett, who had gone through some undiagnosed PTSD to the point where he was trying to shake imaginary defenders, was weak.
@wvu05 thanks. Rome comes across a worm tbh
😂😂😂
Rome was always the worst
Fake
Rome? Such ah PUNK……
Jim echo echo echo Rome echo echo echo
rome said it to his face. 100% respect. No one on tv would have the guts to do it. Besides Barkley.
Jim Rome had no talent so he had to be a TROLL to get viewers.
Hate all you want
I love Rome
